When I first started to blog, I used to write 300 to 400 word blog posts and I was ecstatic when the post received a hundred plus visitors. Little did I know, my content sucked and people didn’t want to read it.
Over the course of the last 8 years I’ve been able to slowly fine tune the way I write content and I’ve learned the hard way on how to create blog posts that people love. They love them so much that they’ll comment, email you about how great your content is, and even share it on social sites.
I’ve blogged in the past about how I write blog posts, but I’ve never gone down into the specific details on how you can replicate my strategy for any industry… even the boring ones like credit cards or car insurance.
What I am going to do is share this information with you through a webinar. Don’t worry, the webinar is FREE, and I’m not looking for anything in return. Instead, I just love communicating and helping out my Quick Sprout readers. 
So what are you going to learn during this free webinar?
- How to effectively write content for any niche.
- The 10 big lessons I learned from content marketing over the last 8 years.
- How to make your content go viral, even if it is on a boring topic like car insurance.
- The different forms of content that you can leverage and the results you can expect from them.
- How to create a content marketing strategy for your business.
- How to measure the effectiveness of your content marketing.
- Where to content marketing landscape is moving to in the next year.
If you want to learn how to create a content marketing strategy that won’t put you to sleep, signup for the webinar here.

I’m looking forward to your webinar. I desperately need help with my content. This should be a big help for me and my blog.
Take Care ,

Destiny, hoping you find what you need during the webinar
Awesome Neil! Looking forward to it! Your last webinar on growth was great; I’ve quoted it & you lots of times since!
Debbie, thanks. Glad you found it helpful.
Signed up and can’t wait!
P.S. Whoever was drawing your face on the webinar’s page, did a really bad job. What’s up with the upper lip?
LOL, hope you enjoy it
Excellent, I missed your last webinar but luckily you made it viewable after(good stuff by the way). Definitely not taking the chance of missing this one!
David, glad you found the last one helpful. Thanks!
Nice… I want to totally start a new fresh (on a old dead blog)… I will be traveling back from Cali to dallas, but I hope to logon and be apart
Ken, thanks
I’ll definitely look out for the recording. Will it be transcribed?
Gemma, I will have to look into it. It should be though..
It would help me a lot if it was because I’m deaf. If it isn’t, no worries I’ll get it transcribed myself. Speechpad do very reasonable prices.
Gemma, shoot me an email at neil@neilpatel.com . I’ll see what we can do to get you a transcript
Brilliant…am currently working on my blog content and this will be a big boost. Will watch the recording. Thanks
Edward, thanks for signing up. Hope you find it helpful
Your content is always first-class. I look forward to hearing your training on the upcoming webinar. Keep the posts and other great info coming!
Richard, thanks for the kind words. Glad you find the content helpful.
I’m really looking forward to this.
My major sticking point is to come up with something unique that I feel the readers will benefit from. I’m far from an expert but over and over again I see other blogs writing the most basic information and getting loads of thank you-comments. It’s information such as “what is a calorie”, “be everywhere”, “the long tail” and “the 80/20 rule”.
I’ve got the perfect tools, environment and passion but I can’t come up with something unique to write about. The only time I think – oh, this is helpful – is when I read new information on other blogs but it would just be a rewrite to write about the same thing. Sure, I could add some of my experience or how I use it but it doesn’t really make it that unique.
I guess the question is – how do you figure out what the readers want to read about if you haven’t enough readers to ask? I’ve looked at Yahoo Answers but it just feels like the same beginner questions asked over and over again – even though I know there are hundred of sources with the answers if they just Google it.
Stefan, the goal is to create a user and reader base so that you fan slowly learn to know what they are interested in. Trust me, this was a process that took me years. Best of luck!
Stefan, you are good at eating but not in expelling. Writing is expelling what you have ate.
Expelling is an act of generosity. Of give away. Find the reason why you don’t want to give away and you will start writing like a pro.
Hi Neil,
I managed to attent your last webinar by sacrificing my sleep because I’m far away from your country. And eagerly waiting to attent this webinar too. Learning your 8 years of experience in a short time is better than sleeping.
Wishes,
Aazath
Aazath, thanks. I am sure it will be worth the temporary sleep deprivation
Hi Neil,
Can’t wait your webinar. I’m curious what you can say about my blog. Topic of content creation is very important and for sure we will learn a lot.
BDW. Nice trick with Registration form
Best Regards
Kamil
Kamil, thanks for signing up
I’m signed up and I’m interested on how to improve a site with the owner who is a perfectionist, and wants to do it his way ONLY!
The owner’s site is on the first page of SE for 6 different keywords and it’s taken me two years to get it there…anything else I can do on the marketing front for an owner who won’t use keywords or LSI words. Plus, the owner won’t let me change or add to any words, pages or articles.
Also, changes don’t go with the owner and it takes at least two weeks to get an ok for adding a little social icon…just to let you know how picky the owner is…any help would be great.
We want to increase readership and purchasing power.
Jacks
Jacks, send me an email. I would definitely like to hear more about this project you are working on.

Really Nice to Hear that,, Eagerly waiting for it….Thanks a Lot Neil,for this valuable information.
Not a problem, thanks for reading!
Hi! Neil,
Exactly what I need. I am looking forward to attending.
You just need to sign up. The webinar will be archived as well if you miss the timing. Thanks!
Well if a person cannot come up with a constant supply of content without been bored to death or fall asleep then they are doomed in the eyes of Google “Just the way it is”
Kenneth
Kenneth, that is very true. You always have to have the freshest content.
I’d love to attend the webinar, but can’t that day. I look forward to seeing the video afterwards. I’ve been blogging for about 11 years but it’s easy to get in a rut during that time.
Always good to learn something new.
Julie, thanks for the interest. Best of luck!
Looks like this webinar will cover some great topics. Looking forward to advice on how to liven up our blog! A helpful tip for all you bloggers is using http://www.proofpuppy.com to proofread your blog once it’s ready to go. It was a lifesaver for us when mistakes kept getting lost in the shuffle of things.
Laura, thanks for the heads up on the product. I will have to check it out!
neil, you rock!
Hansel,
Thanks for the kind words
Definitely looking forward to this Neil! Maybe get a bit deeper into content length vs. payoff. IE at what point does length hit diminishing returns from seo perspective. Or at what length would you split a article into two smaller articles.
Connor, hopefully this post and subsequent ones answer all those questions for you !
Love your blogs.
I am from Australia and will be asleep when your webinar is on but I will definitely watch it later.
Regards Geof
Geof, thanks!
Good stuff Neil not the best time for Australia (3am) so I’ll hold on for the recording but I’m really keen to hear what you have to say on this. I’m doing a podcast today on how to tell if your content is crap because like you I probably wrote 50-100 blog posts that went nowhere because they were crap and I didn’t know it.
Dan, good luck with your podcast and thanks for reading!
I like how the way you think of a great thing to inspire me. It takes that you have a great experiences and passion to do with this stuff.
Neil, I’m waiting for the webinar
You rock!
Tangguh, thanks for reading. Enjoy the webinar!
Love your Blog! I am looking forward to attending webinar .
Lori, Thanks!

Living in India and I guess it wont be possible now to come and attend your webinar. But yes I have a good habit of reading your blogs. So I hope at last I will watch it through video.
You are going great Neil. And it helps EVeryone.

Deep
Deep, thanks for the kind words. Thanks for reading!
Hi Neil,
Glad to know that “you are conducting a webinar”. I always love your posts. Each of your post will give great insights to all SEO’s. Earlier i used to write 200 to 300 word blog posts on my blog http://www.seoeducation.in. Now i have improved to 600 to 800 words with your inspiration. I am sure that “I am going to write 2000 words articles soon”. I look forward for your webinar.
Thanks

Hi Neil,
It will be a pleasure to be a part of your webinar but unfortunately I am travelling on the specified date and my bad luck I will not be able to attend it.
Shilpi, not a problem you can check out the archived version!
Hey Neil, I am following a lot of strategies you are sharing in your blog and I got good resuts for my newsite so far.
With that being said, I hope get a lot of value from your webinar! Thanks Neil
See you there!
Felipe, thanks for reading. I am sure the webinar will be very beneficial!
Hey Neil, is there will be reply as the date matching the webinar for me is busy day…
Goran, it will be archived so you can watch it later.
Another amazing webinar, can’t wait for this.
Faisal, thanks. Hope you find it useful.
Great initiative this Neil, a free webinar from you is always welcome. Helping the SEOs or mainly the content writers in changing their content strategy to create high quality content and in turn helping people to eradicate thin content or spam on the web is always appreciable.
Thanks, hope you find it helpful!
Hallo Neil,
Thanks for this great opportunity. Unfortunately, I can’t take part at the webinar due to the time difference. But maybe you can answer a question that I ask myself for a long time. In addition, I have asked many people and, unfortunately, I didn’t get any satisfactory answer until now. So: is it better to use your own name as the domain for your blog or is it better to take a ‘custom’ name? Hint, most people told me ‘It depends’.
Thank you
Sorry to say, but it really does depend. Are you marketing yourself or are you marketing a product..
Thanks for your reply. I want to start with marketing myself, but maybe it will become more. What was your idea behind the fact, that you are not blogging on your neilpatel domain and instead writing on your custom domain ‘quicksprout’?
Thank you for another informative site. Where else could I am getting that type of info written in
such an ideal way? I have a challenge that I’m simply now running on, and I’ve been at the glance out for such information.
Glad I could help..
Hi Neil,
living In Italy at the being time but don’t care about sleep deprivation for attending your webinar. Hope the shared information throughout this webinar will bring value even for my local market.
Thanks, glad I could help
Hi Neil ! You have great contents. I always read yiur content and get profession ideas. What you have gained in your 8 yrs. Blogging experienced and replicate in your real life.
I Have been reading your every content and learning your way. Thanks for your great contribution to sharing tutorials.
Googma, thanks again for reading
Glad I could help..
I can advise you to get some coffee as well
that helps in the process! haha
LOL, thanks
Excellent. I will try to attend this webinar as well
thanks
Thanks!
I’m looking forward to the webinar. Content marketing is playing an increasingly important role, I hope, a very substantive webinar.
Thanks, hope you find it helpful
This question is somewhat related to my previous one but how do you overcome the feeling that your content isn’t good enough? I get mail saying what a big impact the post made on their life but whenever I sit down and outline a new post; I think – is this really amazing information? Will this be life changing?
99.99% of the times I won’t be but I need to create more than one post a year and I know there’s a lot of readers who will appreciate the post even though I’m not 100% satisfied with it.
So – how do you get over this feeling?
You just have to take a risk and go for it. Hard work will tackle all these insecurities..
Looking forward to this one Neil.
Shame the time difference always gets us here down under. But nevertheless, appreciate your work mate.
Daniel, glad I could help
Hello Neil,
I couldn’t attend to the webinar. Can you offer a recorded file ?
Thanks!
Federico, email me and I’ll link you to the archived version..
I think it’s really important to also keep it fresh and not repeat the same thing over and over.
Yes, very true!
I wonder when is the next webinar so I can sign up for the early bird’s list. Really need to improve my content marketing strategy.
Ps: Just stumble your blog today and find many helpful related content to what I’m searching. Thanks Neil.
Hopefully I will have another one soon. I will definitely keep everyone posted!
I love to attend your presentation.
Umar, You should definitely check it out!
its very nice thought i like to read this type of content. definitely i would like to continue the reading contents.
Really enjoyed the last webinar, looking forward to this one too. Always good learning from your experiences.
Glad you found it helpful
Neil I am putting together a content marketing strategy for our startup business and was wondering how I access this content webinar as signed up and unsure of how to access it all as the event took place a few weeks ago… Is there a recording?
Alex, there should be an archived version on the website. Email me if you can’t find it..
