1. Write Blog Posts

Blogs are an excellent way to develop your personal influence in the marketplace. You are the subject matter expert, and your readers want to hear your unique perspective on topics relevant to them.

While many services purport they can curate content for you, you should not outsource this one completely.

• Including a marketing virtual assistant, and they can establish a content or editorial calendar for you so you (and your writer) have a game plan.
