When it comes to creating blog posts that reach a significant number of audience, bloggers and people at any content writing agency would probably advise you to have an account on WordPress.

The versatility of WordPress makes it an open platform for creators around the world as it supports websites that are for blogs, e-commerce, business websites, news websites, musicians, celebrity pages and many more. More than 30% of the websites on the internet are being run by WordPress. WordPress offers its hostings for free.

I see the potential bias in my answering this question, since I run a content writing agency (one of the best ones in Mumbai, if I may say so myself, cough cough). So, let me attempt to remove some of the sharp edges of that bias by using the ever so credible Google as my trusted partner.

Today, in this digital world, businesses know that to resonate with their target audience, the best ever platform is social media. While social media allows brands to get a lot of customer engagement and increase revenue, it can also negatively impact customers resulting in higher customer attrition rates and lower profits if not used correctly. It doesn’t even take a second for customers to unfollow a brand’s social media page. Hence, it is important to make use of social media platforms in a way that attracts customers and does not leave them unsatisfied or unhappy. But how to make optimal use of social media for business? Well, there is actually no magical formula. While posting something on social media platforms, brands should consider its quality and quantity, both. And what does that mean you ask? Let’s brief you on that.
Being a part of a social media marketing agency and working with different types of business, I have come to understand something. The need to sustain in the market and grow constantly is applicable on all types of businesses including educational institutes. Therefore, you may use different types of marketing techniques such as content marketing, search engine marketing and email marketing. However, with your direct target audience being youngsters, using social media marketing in your marketing strategy is a must.

Here are some types of social media posts you can share on your social media.
#Hashtags, a common phenomenon used by all social butterflies on all their social media posts. Hashtags make a social media post more discoverable and categorises it according to events, trends, brands, food, and lot more!.

Hashtags organise posts like grouped conversations where you could simply type in the category of your desired search with a ‘#’ symbol before it. This would enlist all the posts that have the same hashtag, making it easier for you to dig and find what you’re looking for.
What is writing? In my personal opinion, writing is a way of searching soul through words and sentences that a person creates through his subconscious mind. Through writing, you spill out the ink in your heart onto a blank page and create a piece that keeps people coming back for more. Each time I lift my virtual pen to scribble some words, the primary thought that comes to my mind is that something extraordinary is bound to happen. No writer’s block, no mental semicolons, just words. I believe that motivation is key, everywhere and in every way! And as a content writer, most of us love being alone to ponder upon vivid writing ideas and techniques. This is where self-motivation could actually work as a kick-start to your blog.

Others were too daunted in those times to take over writing, it was thought to be a thing for scholars. Now, writing is a way for some people to cope with life. Seeing something being created out of your brains and skills gives you pleasure.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and most of the Wikipedia pages often get featured in the search result. It is, in fact, a common source of information among the masses for years now. But did you know that this encyclopedia is actually created with the help of millions of users just like you and me?
