You’re a good poet. You can tame unicorns and climb mountains with the power of your words. But how will the world know about your talent if you won’t showcase it? How will they come to know that you can be the next author of a bestselling book?
The same goes for your business. If you’ll not market your brand how’ll they (read your prospects) know you exist? And, the best method to sell yourself and create an impactful brand is to set up a blog.
According to the Content Marketing Institute, 61% of U.S. online consumers made a purchase. Content Marketing enhances conversion rates six times higher than other methods.
Having a blog is definitely worth the efforts and investment. In this blog, I’ll outline how content writing can grow your business and help skyrocket sales.
1. Increase traffic to your website

Along with that, content writers are thorough with Google’s dynamic algorithms. They will optimize the keywords for your site to increase the chances of ranking higher on search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
Social media has become an integral part of any business. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedin help your business to grow and reach a wider audience.
