\"Blogging<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Big brands like Wayfair or Target use massive budgets to drive incredible amounts of Pinterest activity and sales without creating much content. Some of your competitors may as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what can a regular business or blogger do to compete?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating blog content is something that any business can do, yet many don\u2019t. Despite the fact that a great content strategy can support a successful Pinterest presence which, together, drives real traffic, leads, and sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the question is, how do you build that kind of foundation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s with that in mind that I interviewed Mike Allton, CMO of SiteSell<\/a> and owner of The Social Media Hat<\/a> – a Social Media Examiner Top 10 blog two years in a row. The man is a content machine. One of his recent posts, \u2018How to Start a Blog<\/a>,\u2019 is a whopping 15 thousand words. Who does that?! Mike does – and he does it well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though I\u2019ve been blogging for years, Mike\u2019s blog post and accompanying pdf put into words the techniques that took me years to figure out by trial and error, and included methods I plan to put in place immediately! Save yourself some time and frustration in your blogging journey – read the post and get the ebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
