Blogging allows you to build lasting relationships and connect consistently with your target audience. It gives you a platform to establish yourself as an industry expert and build trust with your readers. And, once you have the content, you can amplify it through social media.

Sharing blog posts on your social media channels helps increase engagement and drives traffic to your blog! Additionally, if you decide to enable comments on the posts, you will receive direct feedback from your customers and followers. Social media also gives you access to a larger audience that can easily share, like, comment and retweet, which boosts engagement!
