Podcast Episode 323: What to Blog About to Drive Sales For Your Pet Business

Are you interested in blogging for your pet business to drive traffic to your website, but you don’t know what to write about? In this episode, I discuss a great blogging strategy with digital marketing expert Pamela Keniston of Big Paws Marketing.

You may have seen Pamela speaking at the Pet Summit, PIN Growth Summit, or a webinar with Kara Conway Love earlier this year. I’m excited to bring her expertise to Wear Wag Repeat!

We discuss blogging for your pet business, including:

  • The elements every blog post needs to make it search-friendly and user-friendly, 
  • How to determine the keywords your site already ranks for
  • Action steps to fill up your blogging content calendar for all of Q3.

Pamela also shared a great analogy about a filing cabinet that I’ll be using from now on!

Imagine the file cabinet as the product or service sales page you want people to visit and buy from. The drawers in the file cabinet are your pillar blog posts that cover everything about your product’s topic. Then the files in the drawers are all the supporting blog posts you’ll write, linking back to the main pillar post – its the big file drawer that directs people to the sales page.

This analogy made it clear how to structure your blog posts strategically to drive sales. I think it’s more clear when Pamela describes it! So listen to the interview!

This summer, we’re not going to blog aimlessly. We’re going to focus on a blogging strategy that drives sales. Pamela outlines it all in this interview.
