The Advantage of the Content Long Game

On Friday, I received an inquiry through the #Strella website from what appeared to be a small business owner looking for social media help.

Why Value Over Volume Is The Best Blog Strategy

A week or so ago, a client we have worked with in the past sent me a link to an article that he thought I’d find interesting. It revisits the conundrum I recently addressed in another #Strella blog post, How Long Should a Blog Post Be?—which, incidentally, was inspired by an inquiry from the same […]

How Long Should A Blog Post Be?

I’m often asked for blogging guidelines with the most prominent question about the length.  How long should a blog post be? When I started my business in 2010, I recall reading somewhere that the average length of a blog should be 400-650 words. Then, I heard it was less – as short as 250 words.  […]

4 Ways To Crank Out Content When You've Hit A Wall

I've kept my blog going consistently for over three years and I'm proud to say that it's not only been the best source of leads for my business, but it's also been the one thing I enjoy doing every week regardless of what else I have on my plate. Lately, however, I've found myself struggling […]

How to Reach Influencers on Social Media

A unique advantage of social media is the opportunity to reach out directly to influencers and form a relationship. An influencer is a leader; someone who carries clout in an industry.  For example, Guy Kawasaki may be considered a top sales influencer or Suze Orman, a top financial influencer. Making an authentic connection with an […]

Should I blog?

The past month, I’ve been “blogging about blogs” – and a central theme has been that blogging takes a considerable amount of time and effort.  Often times, businesses make the decision to begin a blog without having any sense of whether blogging is the best use of their time and resources, or if the timing […]

“Going Viral” Doesn’t Make My Top 3 Content Marketing Tactics

I was recently asked to write a guest blog about content marketing with an emphasis on making content ‘go viral.’  However, I ended up declining simply because “going viral” isn’t a goal I commonly have, especially for my small business clients. Content that “goes viral” may be good for a quick boost, but this content […]
