A blog is the most valuable & shareable content to add to a website that can be shared by a link with a blurb on your social media. It can be used to enrich an email newsletter marketing campaign and a blog is a central part and the lifeblood of most modern Content Marketing Strategies!

- Position your brand as an industry leader – Writing makes you think about shareable content targeted to build up audience enthusiasm and create interest for your product and services.
