Take a wild guess at how many blog posts are posted each day. Well, WordPress users alone publish over 2 million posts every day. That’s 24 blog posts every second. With so many blogs out there you may be wondering, how do I make mine stand out?

Let’s throw a few more numbers out there. There are 2 trillion searches per year on Google alone, 3.8 million searches per minute, 228 million searches per hour, and 5.6 billion searches per day. These massive numbers represent tiny opportunities for you to reach an audience and answer a question. The key is to be on the front page of Google where people can find you. This is the difference between a thriving business and one lost amongst competitors. Page 2 of Google might as well be non-existent.
