Blogging has become an essential part of the social interaction to help a business engage with its online customers from a more personal viewpoint.
This course is for those who want to learn more about how to create and write blogs in a professional capacity. Writing a blog for a business is a specialist skill and requires training before publishing to a large customer base. It is vital that a business blog set the appropriate tone for its audience, as a misstep could alienate one’s customer base, which could spell PR disaster.
Module 1 - Finding out about Blogs
Module 2 - Designing your Blog
Module 3 - Managing your Blog
Module 4 - Blogger
Module 5 - Tumblr
Module 6 - WordPress
The course covers all you need to know before getting started with your blog. The three main areas you’ll look at are:
Finding out about Blogs - which includes the different types of blog, typical elements of a blog and blog post, blogs to follow, commenting and sharing on blogs, and what to post and when.
Designing a Blog - which includes the different ways to present a blog, adverts, images, accessibility issues, and different blogging software options.
Managing your Blog - which will look at creating a plan, identifying good post content, writing the content, registering with search engines, distributing posts, sharing and marketing posts and measuring impact.
You will also have access to tutorial sessions that take a closer look at Blogger, Tumblr, and WordPress blogs so you can get guidance on creating your blog.
This course has been put together to offer guidance on how to write engaging, professional business blogs. By the end of the course, you will be well positioned to start a new business blog.
