Playing the Long Game with Pet Blogging: Caitlin Brown of Sparkles and Sunshine Blog

Do you feel like your blog posts are like a collection you started a long time ago and now they just sit on the shelf and collect dust? Blogging can be discouraging if you’re not seeing traffic and results from your posts. Q3 theme - July interview with Pamela Keniston and solo episodes from me. Our August expert is Caitlin Brown from Sparkles and Sunshine Blog. I’ve known Caitlin for years and I’m always so impressed by the perseverance she has to keep creating fun, engaging and helpful content. Caitlin creates a lot of content and she’s a data nerd as much as I am, so I’m excited to share this conversation with you. Everything we discuss applies to bloggers like us and pet business owners who use blogging as a marketing strategy. We share advice on playing the long game when it comes to your blog content and why it’s so important to write helpful content that serves your audience. If you’re putting a lot of effort into these posts, they should still be relevant a year or two from now. Or even 10 years later, like some of my most popular blog posts! We touch a bit on keyword research, but if you want to learn more about that go listen to last month’s episode for a deeper dive. If you’re in my membership, WWR Society, we also have several lessons including screen share videos on how to find the right keywords to blog about. OK… bit finally, Caitlin and I also talk about Pinterest on this episode. We are both big believers in Pinterest because it continues to drive a ton of traffic to our blogs. If you need help with Pinterest, make sure you’re on my email list so I can let you know when Pinterest for Petpreneurs Live is happening. Pinterest works a lot like Google, you need to give it time for momentum to build. When we do the live round of my Pinterest course we’ll be focusing on pinning winter content.
