What you'll learn

  • Describe how search engines catalog content.
  • Understand how Authority affects search rankings.
  • Identify the 5 components of on-page SEO.
  • Understand how to write and post content to the web so it will be found by search engines.

Requirements

  • No knowledge of SEO is necessary before starting this course. It's designed for people with little or no prior knowledge.
  • Students should have a working familiarity with DIY web publishing tools like WordPress, Joomla, Wix, or similiar.

Description

Search engine optimization, or SEO, helps to ensure that a webpage or website is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found via search by the real humans who are looking for the content you publish.

After all, it’s the real humans who read your content, sign up for your free gifts and take advantage of your offers. And it’s the real humans that hire you and pay your fees. The humans just happen to use a search engine to find your website.

SEO that focuses only on search engines – especially at the expense of your real human visitors – isn’t worth your time.

So this course won’t include “secrets” that only the professionals can use, or techniques that may soon become obsolete with the next Google update; instead, this course will make SEO approachable and simple to use, even if you aren’t technically inclined.

We’ll start with a good introduction to how engines actually work to catalog and deliver content to users and then cover how you can help them accurately display your content to the people looking for what you write about.  The more you give the search engines what they need to do their jobs, the more traffic your content will generate.

This course isn’t designed to teach you all that there is to know about SEO; exhausting that topic would take much more than an hour and a half.

But if you have struggled with understanding SEO on your own, the SEO for Bloggers and Other Content Creators Course will help you to master the basics of SEO so more of the people you write your content for will be able to find it.

The Course includes 1.5 hours of videos, 7 handouts, 2 supplemental resources, and a SEO checklist to help you apply what you learn on an on-going basis.

Student Reviews:

★★★★★ "I know SEO is important, but I’m never taken the time to learn much about it. I was intimidated by the topic because I thought it was really complicated. But I took the time to do the SEO for Bloggers Course and am glad I did. The Course made SEO easy to understand and implement in my business. That one tip about the meta description is huge! I had no idea! Thank you!" ~Heidi Huebner

★★★★★ "After 4 years of writing content, I thought I knew enough to just keep doing what I knew how to do….it didn’t seem like it was that big of a priority to learn more about SEO. At the same time, I also felt that the concepts behind SEO were hard to learn and meant to be left to a professional SEO expert. I now realize that both perceptions were wrong after completing the SEO for Bloggers Course. Throughout this entire training I learned new tips, guidelines, and understanding that I know now will allow me to gain higher SEO in all that I publish. I feel like I have the tools that I need to be successful on my own without hiring an SEO expert, saving me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars." ~Amanda Bresee

Who this course is for:

  • Bloggers
  • Virtual Assistants
  • Small Business Owners
  • Writers of Online Content
  • Coaches (life, business, relationship, etc)
  • Anyone who publishes content online
