Hey dreamer 👋

If you’ve ever thought blogging was so 2012, or pointless… read this because it may be the missing the Missing Link in Your Website and overall marketing Strategy.

I’ve been asked so many times: “What’s the point of a blog?” Isn’t it outdated? Too much work? A little… self-centered? 

Here’s the truth: If you’re a a creative business owner, or a women-led brand—a blog isn’t just relevant, it’s a powerful tool.

Here’s why I’m starting one (and why it might just be your next smart move too):

1. Build Trust Through Valuable Content

Let’s be real—you have a lot to say, and you’re a damn good expert in your field. Whether you’re a entrepreneur, healer, coach, or creative business owner, a blog gives you the space to go deeper and really show what you know.

It’s not just about sounding smart—it’s about building trust by providing real value. When you consistently share your knowledge and unique perspective, your dream clients begin to see you as the go-to guide they’ve been searching for. A blog lets you branch into important core topics, share insights, answer common questions, and offer a glimpse into the heart of your work. It becomes a meaningful touchpoint that connects, empowers, and educates—all while reinforcing your authority in your niche.

2. Improve Your SEO and Get Found on Google

Blogging with intentional keywords helps you rank higher in search results and get found by more aligned people—organically. When you use SEO the right way, with keywords and topics your target market is actually Googling, your blog becomes a magnet that leads your dream clients right to your site—no paid ads or gimmicks needed.

3. Share the Story Behind Your Work

People want to connect with the heart behind your brand. A blog gives you the space to showcase recent projects, event recaps, highlight client transformations, and share behind-the-scenes moments that create a deeper connection—plus, you get to share all the details that don’t fit anywhere else. I like to think of it as a modern day digital scrapbook!

4. Create Space for Authentic Connection

If you’re feeling limited—or just plain “ughhhh”—by all the short-form content out there, a blog can be your creative outlet. It’s a safe space to share your story, your values, and what truly matters to you—without any algorithm getting in the way.

Wondering how people actually see your blog posts? You might think, “No one gets notified when I post a blog!” And that’s exactly why you share it on your socials and in your newsletter. Your blog becomes the home base, and your other platforms help bring the people in. Continued in the next point….

5. Turn One Blog Post into a Full Content Strategy

A single strategic blog can become multiple Instagram posts, reels, a newsletter, Pinterest pins, and more. It becomes the root of your content plan—especially helpful if you’re utilizing multiple platforms like Pinterest. Guide all the posts back to the blog post for “more info”!

So—what’s the point of blogging?

📍 More trust.
📍 Better visibility.
📍 Stronger connection.
📍 Long-term results.
