The fact that it helps with SEO and provides content for social media marketing is a bonus, but what blogging actually boils down to is providing your target audience with authoritative and expert information that increases their trust in you.

I will say that I’m not a GDPR expert, and I’m certainly not a lawyer, so this is only my interpretation based on current ICO guidance and that of data protection lawyers sharing their expertise. I would recommend that you do your own research, ask the ICO questions and get as much knowledge as you can before making any decisions for your own business. Read more
