I would love for you to consider your blog as the hub of your content marketing strategy.

It confounds me how many nonprofits still have e-newsletters in lieu of blogs — when blogs are like e-newsletters on steroids!

• With blogs, you can drive folks to your website to learn more, or take desired actions.
• With blogs, you own your content and subscriber list (which is not the case with publicly owned social media platforms).
• With blogs, you can serialize your storytelling and give folks a “bite” they can chew on, rather than an overfilled buffet with too much content for them to enjoy at one sitting. 
• With blogs, you can regularly serve up what donors want (Research from Penelope Burk shows donors would much prefer to receive short bits of content whenever you have something relevant to share with them).  People don’t want stuff you push out there just to stay on your schedule.
• With blogs, you have a living entity where folks can comment, share and actively engage.
• With blogs, your supporters can forward your content to their social networks, giving you exposure to new audiences. Then their friends can forward to their friends, and so on and so on… breathing new life into your content.
• With blogs, your content can be found by organic search, again increasing your exposure to a wider audience.

Why you should get this Special 4- Volume Guide – It works! It really works!

There’s no need for you to reinvent the wheel.  Blogging is not rocket science. 

There is, however, a science and an art to it – a right way and a wrong way – a short way and a long way.

Your shortcut to successful engagement through blogging.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned about blogging and engaging nonprofit communications and tucked it into 4 handy no-nonsense guides to help you become a “player” in the blogosphere. It’s all here!

• Why you need one

• How to persuade the ‘powers-that-be’ to give the green light

• Figuring out your potential audience

• Building a blog that will compel your readers to share with their friends

• Getting folks to meaningfully engage with you — not just ‘likes’ and ‘follows’, but desired actions that will move your mission forward

• Getting your blog actively promoted so you can find new supporters

• Defining success; then measuring the right things so you’ll know what’s working

If you read these guides, and use them, you’ll expand your audience, increase engagement and make your life a lot easier. Why?

Working smart beats working hard any day of the week.

Blogging is not just something to check off a list of ‘to-do’s’. Done right, it’s the content hub for all your other marketing communications and strategy.  All the work done there can be leveraged elsewhere. Everything else emanates from your blog.

The better your blog strategy, the easier it will be for you to accomplish multi-channel marketing. Your tweets, Facebook posts, LinkedIn discussions, Instagram and Pinterest shares and even your e-newsletters and online fundraising campaigns will write themselves.

Any tool that accomplishes multiple objectives simultaneously is a winner.

You’ll learn what readers really want from you and how to give it to them.

Did you know that the content you’re sharing now probably has minimal interest to your potential readers? Did you know that your current promotion strategy probably sucks?  Did you know that inbound marketing, of which blogging is an integral part, costs 62% less per lead than outbound marketing?

You’ll get oodles of actionable tips to simplify your life, plus get a step-by-step road map taking you through all the basics.

Your blog should not just be theory, but practice!

In this 4-Volume Playbook you’ll learn:

1. Why you need a blog as the center of your content marketing strategy
2. How to make your content absolute dynamite within the restraints of your limited resources
   
3. How to engage folks to drive desired actions
4. How to build your reputation and develop new and ongoing supporters

If you want to stop leaking donors and begin keeping them… you need to read this special step-by-step Playbook! I’ve divided it into 4 volumes to help you focus on what’s most important for you at the stage of the game you’re in. If you’re new to blogging, you may wish to purchase all 4 volumes at the special discount “bundle bargain.”  Or feel free to try just one to check out the content; then move forward as your needs dictate.

In every volume I share with you tons of tips, templates, checklists and samples to help you apply what you learn RIGHT AWAY. Sometimes you’ll even get (optional) homework to help you apply what you’ve learned before it becomes a distant memory.
