What to blog about
Our blog is meant to engage coaches, those who hire coaches and those who want to promote coaches (radio shows, TV, press). All Full Membership coaches are invited to contribute to blog posts. Associate members are encouraged to post comments on the blog posts.
To enhance the website’s SEO ranking, please keep blog posts to 300 to 500 words and participate in the dialogue by making comments.
Remember your audience when blogging: coaches, coaches in training, those who hire coaches and those looking for news stories about coaching. Questions to ask yourself: Will this information be of interest to other coaches? Will this information educate the public about the benefits of coaching? Is the information useful? It is relevant?
To generate blog ideas for writing, we have created the categories below. If you would like a category added, please email the web administrator, janice@yrcoach.com.
