Showcase the expert.

Optimize the heck out of your blog posts.
While search engine optimization won’t benefit your readers directly, it will benefit potential readers using Google’s search engine to find answers to their queries and solutions to their problems. For each blog post:

- Use that keyword or key phrase in your title, URL, blog post content, and meta description.
Lastly, don’t forget to share and promote your blog posts. Encourage others to share, too, by utilizing social share buttons and plugins. Never underestimate the power of attracting new readers.
