Before we start Our Digital Blog Strategy online program is a unique collaboration between online entrepreneurs Sticks & Spoons Food Travel and Food and Travel Guides.

All we want is a happy face =) and hopefully some feedback from you. We appreciate your time and input as this is essential for our own improvement and progress. But with no further delay, let us dive into what you (hopefully) came for. What the heck is a Digital Blog Strategy? We understand if you wonder. One reason, of course, to call our online program a Digital Blog Strategy is that the name is unique but a unique name by itself means nothing if it doesn't have a significant purpose. The name is created from the separate terms "Digital Strategy" and "Blog Strategy". So why not just call it a Digital Strategy? The best definition of a Digital Strategy is as follows regarding Google: "Digital Strategy focuses on using technology to improve business performance, whether that means creating new products or reimagining current processes. It specifies the direction an organization will take to create new competitive advantages with technology, as well as the tactics it will use to achieve these changes." Why not just call it a Blog Strategy then? Using Google once again looking for a good definition of Blog Strategy was a little harder, but finally, Blog Strategy could be defined as follows: "A Blog Strategy is to define your goals, make target research, come up with topic ideas and keywords to target, create a content calendar, write content, share and promote the content on your blog." Well, the above quotes aren't quite enough by themselves, are they? Together they constitute a slightly better strategy but we need to explain the Digital Blog Strategy with the easy equation to solve that follows in our next section. Business Plan + Digital Marketing Plan = Digital Blog Strategy To become successful you need to start writing a Business Plan. No, we're not joking. Because it doesn't matter if you want to monetize on your blogging or not; success always starts with a Business Plan. Don't know how to write one? Don't worry. We'll give you helpful tips on how to and what it should include. But let us answer the question in the headline, and certainly on your mind, first. This is our own definition of a Digital Blog Strategy: Your Digital Blog Strategy should include a seperate Business Plan that reveals your reason and purpose with your online presence, while the Digital Marketing Plan should focus on how to reach your audience digitally online. When these two plans work together you have the foundation of your Digital Blog Strategy. Read those two sentences again. It's spot on. This program is about showing ways to become more creative as a writer and getting better equipped to successfully reach out and find your audience online. And the way to move in that direction is to identify, concretize, visualize, structure, and implement your idea of being there online, using a Digital Blog Strategy. How to write a Business Plan easily It all starts with the Idea. Your Business Idea. The Business Idea is somewhat 2-3 sentences that summon your whole reason and purpose with blogging or creating a site. Period. What are your reason and purpose? In the iconic scene above from "The Matrix Reloaded", the unpleasant character of Agent Smith actually has a point. "There's no escaping reason, no denying purpose, for as we both know, without purpose we would not exist. It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us. That guides us. That drives us. It is purpose that defines us. Purpose that binds us. We are here because of you, Mr. Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us. Purpose." Get the point? You should deep-dive into your purpose with writing or creating your site and put it on paper in a Business Idea. An example of a short and perfectly phrased Business Idea: "With the blog Tasty Tomatoes, we will give our readers the complete background facts to all the approx 10,000 varieties of tomatoes in the world, with cultivation tips and tasteful recipes" Crystal clear, right? Now, a Business Idea is a foundation for how you will proceed with your Business Plan. Make the Business Idea as simple as you can but make it thought-through so you can build your Business Plan and Brand from it. Yes, we mean Brand. Everything you create is a Brand, and that Brand is utterly you. SMART Goals As mentioned in the Infographic, SMART is a method used when Coaching to set and achieve a wanted goal. It's an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. We will write about How to Start a Blog Essentials in the next step, but the reason we brought up SMART now is that the method applies to your Business Plan, your Digital Marketing Plan, on how-to-write-better-content, and in defining any goal, any task, any topic - even creating your own Digital Blog Strategy. We will mention SMART-things in basically all steps, which makes it most important for you to assimilate and understand. Let us break up the parts of SMART and explain them right away. Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Timely Benefits when using SMART POP and the How to Get S**t Done Theory Ever heard about POP Theory? We're impressed if you have because it's our own Theory to Get S**t Done! To achieve goals and get the progress you need to start a process. Everything you do is a process. One task, one day, a week, month, year, or a lifetime, all are processed. And all processes have the same architecture. But firstly, let us define what a process and progress are, what they mean, and how we look at them and realized that the process always is being entwined with progress. The definition of a process is "a series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular end" while the definition of progress is "a forward or onward movement towards a destination". True Truth. However; we don't like the "end" or "destination" part. Why? "A Process is never ending if you want Progress. It's when you constantly want to improve, to become better, moving forwards and upwards, that Progress in that sense, have no final destination. The only way to achieve Progress is by reapetably starting a new and improved Process" *Kaboom* (...was that the sound of some mindblown brains out there?) Read that quote a couple of times. It will significantly help you understand the POP. We came up with this theory a long time ago using a simplified model of a "change process" and it has been stuck with us ever since. Let us break up the theory and explain how it works right now. Analyze Define Plan Execute How to use POP Actually; if you think about it everything you do in daily life is a Process with the POP active all the time. Some of your ongoing Processes just take micro-seconds. Some take a day, a week, months, or even a whole lifetime. You have multiple Processes running right now. To gain success in whatever you want to accomplish in life, you'll have to go through those 4 steps, whether you want it or not. When knowing that, feel confident that your purpose with creating an online presence can be done, it can get successful and you can always improve using POP and know what you'll need to do next. Knowing about the stages you must walk through will make you more efficient, structured, focused, and determined. The great thing with the POP insight is that it will save you time, avoiding unnecessary setbacks or doing loads of work ending up in a disappointing "nothing". And combined with SMART Goals you will find POP perfect to get s**t done!

In this step, you will learn the foundation of SEO and all the basics. Shortly, SEO you need to know and master when building a strong online presence by yourself. Table of Content What is SEO and Why is SEO Important? How to do SEO for Blogs and Sites? Are Blogs important for SEO? SEO Blog Strategy for beginners SEO checklist for Blogs and Sites The only SEO you need to know What is Quality Content? How to Build a Solid Site Architecture HTML for SEO Beginners What is EAT and what has it to do with SEO? Link Strategy Let's build Clusters! It's all about the User Experience Podcast, PDF, and Link Section If you know about SEO, much of the facts and information in this step is the knowledge you already have. SEO is a never-ending, ever-changing process where some SEO gurus claim to have all the answers. We are sure they don't have them all. "The only SEO you need to know" sounds pretty cocky, right? Well, it's not that simple. That section isn't the whole truth for strong SEO on your site, we know that. We also know some SEO Strategists will refer to this as Mumbo-Jumbo. You're welcome. The advice is to read everything you can about SEO, see all the tutorial videos, and deep dive into the mysterious realms of SEO. Knowing a little about a lot is a good thing when it comes to SEO. We know though, you will learn some insights here, whether you're a total Beginner or an Expert, if you In this step, we'll only talk about the SEO that in our opinion matters, and that is the SEO that you have control over. What is SEO and Why is SEO Important? SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Simply explained, it's all the things a Search Engine like Google needs to find your site and rank it in the SERP. SERP stands for Search Engine Result Pages and is what shows when you type in your Keywords and do a Search. You want, and can be, the number one choice for the Surfer and Google. To reach that goal you will need to work on your site's SEO. How to do SEO for Blogs and Sites? We do assume that you have the basic knowledge to update and maintain your own site or blog. Then you can do a lot of things to help the Google Algorithm finding your blog and site. So let us talk about how SEO is different between the two. Because we look at the blog versus site pages differently. Especially when it comes to creating content. Are Blogs important for SEO? Like we have mentioned earlier, blogging is definitely not dead. In fact, Blogs are important for your SEO and ranking. Here are the 7 strongest arguments and facts why blogs are important for SEO in 2021 and will improve your rankings on Google: Consistent content drives new traffic Current content keeps a visitor on your site for longer Works impeccably for grabbing Long-tail Keywords On-Page SEO with Internal Linking, Photos, Alt-texts, etc Off-Page SEO like Newsletters, Shares, Backlinks, etc Connecting and making visitors "regulars" boost SEO Easy to update and using Keywords strategically for Clusters, etc SEO Blog Strategy for beginners SEO checklist for Blogs and Sites The only SEO you need to know Let's deal with the inevitable and relentless fact right away: Mastering SEO completely is utterly impossible. Google's Algorithm alone is changing countless times daily, with approx nearly 3000 changes per year. So what's the point of trying to learn SEO at all? We would love to give you an insight that may change your SEO view forever. Read this epigram by Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" meaning in plain english; "the more things change, the more they stay the same" Maybe you can figure out now where this is going, right? Instead of focusing on keeping up with those daily changes taking place in the Google Algorithm, you should pay attention to what always has been around as the key elements to rank high on Google's Search Engine since the very start, way back in September 1998, Menlo Park, California: Quality of your overall Content Your Site's Architecture Getting your HTML in shape E.A.T Links (still) matters UX- Your Visitors Experience We will guide you through every one of those 6 main foundations of SEO right now. What is Quality Content? How to Build a Solid Site Architecture There are many theories on how a good site structure should be built. We agree on most of them. We strongly advise you to think about your Site Architecture from your Business Plan's Perspective. What are your defined goals? To sell, read an article, or sign up for a Newsletter? You may have a few defined purposes but let us call those goals for Call to Action, or just CTA's from now on. Site Map HTML for SEO Beginners What is EAT and what has it to do with SEO? E-A-T stands for Expertise, Authority, and Trust — three factors that Google uses to measure how much trust it should place in a brand or website. Google wants to give its customers (search engine users) the best experience possible, so it only wants to promote websites that it fully trusts. UX metrics are a set of quantitative data points used to measure, compare, and track the user experience of a website or app over time. They are vitally important for ensuring UX design decisions are made and evaluated using fair evidence rather than opinions. KPIs (key performance indicators) reflect the overall goals of your business – such as revenue growth, retention, or increased user numbers. Metrics are all the measurements that go towards quantifying these higher goals. Link Strategy Let's build Clusters!

The purpose of this step is to inspire you to create content you love! We strongly believe, creative content is one of the foundations of quality content and leaves plenty of room to think outside the box. Creating your content is your chance to enrich, inspire and connect with your readers. To be unique. We will give you our ideas on how to be unique, to create value and quality throughout your content online. So let's find out what this step will be about right away. Table of Content The Meeting Mindset Always be SMART in your Content Outside the Box UX from a creative perspective The Creative Process What are the components of Creativity? Mind Map 80/20 Method The componential theory of creativity is recognized as one of the major theories of creativity in individuals and organizations, serving as a partial foundation for several other theories and many empirical investigations. It was first articulated by Teresa Amabile in 1983 and has undergone considerable evolution since then. In essence, the theory is a comprehensive model of the social and psychological components necessary for an individual to produce creative work. The theory specifies that creativity requires a confluence of four components: Creativity should be highest when 1) an intrinsically motivated person with 2) high domain expertise and 3) high skill in creative thinking 4) works in an environment high in supports for creativity. The 80-20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, is an aphorism that asserts that 80% of outcomes (or outputs) result from 20% of all causes (or inputs) for any given event. In business, a goal of the 80-20 rule is to identify inputs that are potentially the most productive and make them the priority.

We will NOT write about quick fixes or existing marketing strategies, namedrop apps, give ad or social media marketing tips, funnel-this, funnel-that, or anything likely to tell you how your digital marketing should be done. Because what works for one doesn't always work for another, right? In this step, we will focus on Digital Marketing from the perspectives that work no matter what your goal is or which niche you're in. As you might have guessed, they are crucial to write your Digital Blog Strategy. Table of Content: How to Build Brand Awareness in 2021 Objectives to Focus on to Strengthen Your Brand Digital Strategy that will Work Beyond 2021 Working Together Cut to the Chase Podcast, PDF, and Link Section But first, let us have a look at the definition of Digital Marketing: "The action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising." Now this "action" has been around for ages but has significantly changed during the last couple of years just as technology, and humans, have changed. And the Pandemic changed everything. Marketing didn't go unnoticed. We even saw, what we would like to call, some kind of "pupation" during the Corona Pandemic 2020. Not that we didn't buy things online, we did. However, when looking at the big picture some big niches really came to a complete halt during the year. And we're pretty sure we'll see that Digital Marketing in 2021 now has been refined and defined to some main tracks to follow if wanting to be successful. Firstly, Your Brand Awareness and Core Values are more important than ever before. How to Build Brand Awareness in 2021 All major trend reports (notable being non-branch depending) with Post Pandemic predictions have a few points in common. And surveys about what consumers look for and value when choosing how to spend their time, confirm them. Brand and Core Values matter, and matters a lot. When it comes to common purchases, the quality of a product, the customer service, and likely still matters of course. However, in addition, trends are clear that what a Brand stands for, their Public Relations, values, and actions have become more important than ever. And that is a golden opportunity to be unique. You should definitely see yourself as a Brand and Business, like we already mentioned, to do your Digital Blog Strategy right. Knowing that you naturally also understand that building your Brand Awareness will ultimately strengthen your position online. So what we claim is that building a digital marketing ecosystem sprung from your Brand and Core Values will make you successful, in the end. That's why they are so important in your Business Plan. Because they will draw your digital marketing roadmap for you, almost by themselves. They are not new things of course. They are though, what we think will be even more important to have in mind when you think about your purpose and reason to be online, writing your Digital Blog Strategy, and setting your goals. Let us take an example: GoPro. Their marketing strategy is clearly built from their Brand Core Values. By developing user-friendly tools and making them available to create amazing videos they encouraged their customers to share user-generated content, which by any means strengthened their Brand Awareness in their target customer groups. There's more to the GoPro Story of Success of course, but their digital market plan and roadmap had to go that way and is a huge part of their indisputable pole position on the market. Now, you probably won't build a new action camera but we hope you get our point? The same profound focus on your Brand and Core Values in your Business Plan will forecast how you should market yourself digitally. And like in that short example with GoPro, it will bring you success.
