PROMPT
Since November 2016, I’ve been a regular contributor to Sprout Social’s business blog. Each topic is different, but they’re all written about social media. Twice a month, I’m assigned a some keywords and a framework for inspiration. Keeping in mind Sprout’s own style, I collate examples, researched statistics, and my own marketing experience to write this article.
The audiences have ranged from a very general one (copywriting hacks) to a niche one (LinkedIn for colleges).
DETAILS
Content marketing works. When timed correctly with SEO keyword targeting, informational blog posts establish you as a legitimate and knowledgeable source.
I’ve written articles that have driven more than 28k new users and reached 2000 new users a month.
