What is done-for-you blogging?

Each week, we’ll send you a quick email asking what you’d like to blog about. It can
be a vague idea, a working title with bullet points, a detailed summary, or even just a URL to something that caught your eye. You bring the spark - we’ll handle the rest.

From words and images to audio, video, and the little extras that help with ranking, we craft it all. Once it’s ready, we’ll send it over for your approval. Happy with it? We’ll publish it the next morning around 9am, post it to your LinkedIn profile and Facebook page, and send out your mailer. Need changes? No problem!

And yes - we use cutting-edge AI to help generate the building blocks of your posts
but every one is checked, edited and finished by a real human with years of writing experience making sure it sounds like you and not a toaster trying to be insightful.

sBlogIt! is built to fit around your business, not the other way around

If you're just getting started, you might want to use a fresh domain like www.yourcompany.com and make it the centre of your online world. Want to support an existing site instead? Go with blog.yourdomain.com - perfect for giving your main website an SEO-friendly bump.

If you'd rather publish your blog posts elsewhere - like your own website or as LinkedIn articles - we can host them on yourname.sblogit.com with Google indexing turned off. It won’t boost your SEO, but it’ll serve as a tidy archive of your content. Not our favourite option, but the choice is yours.

Just bear in mind that if you’re publishing elsewhere, we can't share your posts (except on our own channels) or send blog mailers for you. We’re good, but not psychic!

sBlogIt! sounds awesome, but what does it cost?

We believe in keeping things simple and straightforward. Our service is designed to take the hassle out of blogging so you can focus on running your business. 

For just £150 per month, you’ll receive one professionally written blog post each and every week, created, edited, finished, polished, and published on your blog - shared to social media and even emailed to you list if you choose. And if you're a YourPCM subscriber, you'll get the price of that subscription taken off your sBlogIt! one automatically.

If you find that one post per week isn’t quite enough, you can scale up. Opt for two blog posts per week for £300 per month, or three for £450 per month. This pricing structure allows you to adjust your plan as your business grows, giving you the freedom to choose the frequency that suits your needs best.

Just some Terms & Conditions you need to be aware of!

You can have multiple contributors, though only one can be assigned to a blog post.
Sharing to social and sending a blog mailer are included, but optional. There is no reduction in monthly fee if you choose not to make use of either or both of these features.
If we don't hear from you one week, we'll recycle an older post on your behalf as it is important for something to go out each week! 
All transactions are handled by Square and we never see your credit/debit card.
If you wish to cancel your service within 7-days of your next payment, then that payment will still be taken after which we will cancel your subscription. Blogs without a subscription are turned off after a 30-day churn period to allow you time to download your content.
No pauses, no refunds, no-VAT, no long-term tie in.
