Hey Mary, that’s a great question! It depends on who you purchased the course from (and if they regularly update the material). Course content that’s 6 years old might not be 100% relevant to how blogging works today, but a lot of the same principles of creating useful, impactful content for readers and working hard to promote that content still hold true. Check out my recommendations for blogging courses right here: https://www.ryrob.com/blogging-courses/

Can I starting using it now, even though it’s about six years ago! I paid for the coarse and recently found the class information?

Of course! Glad to help, Tan 🙂

It’s ok to link from post A to post B more than once, especially if it’s an important article you want to drive readers to. I wouldn’t do it more than say ~5 times throughout a long-form article though… you don’t want to make it appear like you’re trying overly hard to push a single link from every article.

Virtually all my blog posts are long URL, but now I know that it is better for the URL to be user-friendly and SEO-friendly; short, compact and concise.

Besides, I have a question about internal links.
For example, I write a long-form post A and I link to post B (relevant info) most than once, is there any negative effect of this in terms of SEO and alike? Or is it better to link from A to B only once?

Great question, Liz. If you want to create a Facebook page for your blog, with the goal of boosting posts (and driving in some traffic), then I’d say yes that’s a good experiment to at least try out and see if it works well for your audience/type of content and the niche you’re blogging in. Personally though, I haven’t found Facebook to be a great investment (time or financial) for my own blog… having a Facebook Group would be the only exception that I have felt is very worthwhile.

Otherwise, I’d highly recommend reading through these two guides on my blog here that talk specifically about the best ways to promote your blog:

Hey Jonathan! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment here for me. To keep things as simple & easy as possible, I’d recommend that you head over to my step-by-step guide on starting a blog… that’ll point you in the right direction and get you started: https://www.ryrob.com/how-start-blog/

It’s not as easy to start blogging without a computer, to be honest. I’m soon working on a tutorial about what’s possible to do from a blogging perspective using just a mobile phone and without spending any money. Stay tuned for that soon.

Do you recommend creating a Facebook page for your blog? I’m considering it because that’s the only way I can boost my blog post via Facebook. If you do recommend, can you talk about promotion strategies (i.e. do you post your blog posts on your page, then share it to your profile page? How do you suggest gaining traction for a Facebook page, etc.) Or do you just say bag Facebook altogether? Thanks!
