Target Content to Your Personas

A Word of Caution

• Writing for your personas DOES NOT mean writing about the products and services you sell them

• Write about the things they want to learn about

3 Keys to Blog Success

Biggest Blogging Mistake

A “free” URL from Blogspot or Typepad• HubSpot.blogspot.com – NO!• HubSpot.typepad.com – NO!

• Blog.HubSpot.com – Yes• HubSpot.com/Blog – Yes• SmallBusinessHub.com – Yes

Blog Frequency

• Steady readership?• At least weekly, more is better.

• SEO focused?• Frequency is less important.
