Let’s bust some myths about blogging, shall we? In this episode, I’m diving into why blogging isn’t just “still alive”—it’s thriving, and it can be a total game-changer for your business marketing. Forget the idea that you have to be a “great writer” or that blogs are a one-and-done effort. I’m breaking down why blogging matters more than ever, especially for small businesses looking to stand out online.

We’ll talk about how blogging can help you show up on Google (where people are actually searching for your services), why it’s a better long-term investment than social media posts, and how you can turn one blog into tons of content. Plus, I’ll give you a sneak peek at my new blogging mini-course, which is designed to make blogging doable, strategic, and impactful for your business.

Whether you’ve been blogging for years or are just dipping your toes in, this episode is packed with ideas to help you create blogs that work for you, not just take up time.

Here’s what we’re covering:

  • Why Google is a goldmine compared to social media.
  • How blogging builds credibility and attracts your dream clients.
  • Busting myths like “blogging is dead” and “I’m not a good enough writer.”
  • The secret sauce: long-term benefits of blogging you can’t get elsewhere.
  • Practical tips to make blogging simple and effective.
  • Why small businesses (yes, even solopreneurs!) can use blogging to go head-to-head with the big guys.
