Today's Blog Post Idea

A list of local gyms, yoga studios, and other fitness activities in the area
Roundup posts are extremely versatile and can be faster to create valuable content than other Ready Agent Go blog post templates. The concept of a roundup post is that you are adding value to your audience by curating content from other trusted sources and organizing them by a specific topic so your audience doesn't have to spend the time finding this content through the maze of online searches on their own.
Find other articles online that relate to today's topic. Click the Create a Blog Post button to be taken to the blog post creation tool. Follow the steps by adding in a title, your own excerpt/summary, and a link to each article. Are you Ready? Let's Go!
Bonus To-do's after you create your blog:
After you finished creating your blog post make sure you promote it! Here are a few simple suggestions:
Create a social post using the featured image of your post and the title.
Right after posting your blog post be sure to send out an email blast using the featured image of your article and a quick excerpt from the introduction. Link to your blog post to drive traffic to this published article on your website. If you don't have a website, or place to publish your content, consider getting a Ready Agent Go website and have all this done for you.
Over the following 1-2 weeks create at least one social post for each roundup item in your post and share it across social media. When you share it make sure to link back to your article.
Today's Premium Content
There are no premium content pieces scheduled for today. Go check out the Action Plan Calendar to see when the next one is scheduled to be completed and use today to start prepping for it.
Roundup emails are extremely versatile and are a great way to curate content that is valuable to your audience and leverage email as a channel to get that content in front of your contacts.
The more content you create the more options you have to spread it throughout all your branded marketing channels. Today is an example of that. Take all the blog posts that you created last week and craft an email roundup blast. In the same way you create roundup blog posts where you grab a title, an excerpt and a link to an article, you will create today's email the same way. However since you were the author of the curated content you get to link your own content not someone else's! Nice work.
