What are Blogs on the Pod?

What are Blogs on the Pod? Let me give you a little background before I go into the details. So back last year when we started DataWeekender, I was also learning a lot about social media marketing and LinkedIn in particular. As part of that learning curve, I set up an engagement pod. I thought this could help the SQL/Data platform bloggers and content creators maximise their work’s reach on Linkedin.  

In this case, the Pod I set up is for content creators. These people create content about Microsoft’s data platform. It allows content creators to promote the work they create and share on LinkedIn in particular. If you have a blog and would like the blog posts you share on Linkedin to reach the wider audience’s reach and reach, the Pod can help maximise your reach. You can read this blog post to see the difference it can make for you.

You still have to create great content. If you create great content and share it on Linkedin. The POD can help by engaging with your post and boosting your reach

I’m trying something new this week to give back to the people who use the Pod regularly and create some excellent content. Although I will try to make this a weekly occurrence, I can’t promise I’ll stick to it every week but I will try and in doing so highlight some of the great content being created on a weekly basis
