The Thinkific blogging problem
No native blog. Third-party solutions have SEO limitations.
Thinkific has no blog feature
Unlike WordPress or Squarespace, Thinkific has zero native blogging. No editor, no posts, no content marketing tools built in.
External blogs dilute authority
Hosting on Medium, Substack, or a separate WordPress site means your content builds their domain authority, not yours.
Iframe embeds hurt SEO
Solutions like DropInBlog use iframe embeds. Search engines struggle to crawl iframe content, limiting your organic reach.
Why course creators need a blog
Your blog is the top of your sales funnel
Get discovered
Students search "how to" questions before buying courses. Rank for those queries.
Demonstrate expertise
Free content proves you know your subject. Builds trust before the sale.
Drive enrollments
Blog posts naturally lead to your paid course as the next step.
Content marketing is how course creators build audiences without paid ads. Your blog should live on your domain, not someone else's.
The iframe problem
Many third-party blog solutions embed your content in iframes. Here is why that hurts your SEO.
Iframe embedding
- Content lives on a different domain
- Search engines see an empty container
- Links don't pass authority to your site
- Mobile performance suffers
- No domain authority consolidation
Subdirectory hosting
- Content is part of your domain
- Fully crawled by search engines
- All links benefit your site
- Native performance
- Domain authority stays consolidated
SEO experts recommend subdirectory hosting because it consolidates domain authority. Superblog makes this setup easy for Thinkific users.
