You're striving for blog originality and SEO visibility. How do you balance the two effectively?
Stop writing for an audience that doesn't exist. SEO has exploited our creative sensibilities and yearning for simple, dynamic stories. I get it: it drives traffic. But is it quality traffic? Do your brand a favor: tell kick-ass, fun, imaginative stories. Then work with SEO after. If you are writing about lip balm or glass cleaner, it's better to give your customer a wow-moment, than drive 50 people to bounce out for run-on sentences.
