Set Up Your Blog for the Post-Live Workflow

Your blog is where your live trainings live forever. You go live, you take the transcript, MVA turns it into an SEO-optimized blog post in your brand voice with your calls to action — and all you have to do is hit a button and schedule when it goes live. But none of that works unless your blog is set up first. This guide walks you through getting your blog ready so the post-live workflow drops content right where it needs to go. Quick note: Everything below happens inside the platform. My Vision Agency is the white label brand of the system, so whether you use your own account or an MVA-branded one through us, the steps work the exact same way.

The Big Picture: Why You Need a Blog

Here is how the post-live workflow works from start to finish:

1. You go live in your community.
2. You take the transcript of the session.
3. You paste it into your Post-Live page inside My Vision Assistant.
4. MVA writes an SEO-optimized blog post for you — in your brand voice, with your calls to action baked in.
5. You click a button and the post lands inside your blog.
6. You schedule when it goes live.

Your blog is the destination for everything you create in that workflow. Before any of it works, you need a blog set up and ready to receive posts. That is what this article walks you through.

Step 1: Create Your Blog

1. Inside the platform, click Sites on the left.
2. Click Blogs at the top.
3. Click to create a new blog. You can start from scratch or use a template — for this guide we will start from scratch.

Step 2: Set Up Your Blog Basics

Fill in the foundation details:

• Blog name — what your blog is called. Keep it on-brand.
• Domain — the domain where your blog will live. You will need to add this.
• Slug (optional) — the path that comes after your domain (e.g., /blog).
• Description — roughly 250 characters. This is what search engines see, so write it like a short, clear summary of what your blog is about.

Save when you are done. You will land on the blog list view, where you will manage all your future posts.

Step 3: Set Up Your Categories

Categories are required on every blog post. Think of them as folders that group similar content together.

Why this matters for the post-live workflow: when MVA generates a blog post from your live training transcript, it will sort the post into a category. Set up your main categories first so everything has a home when it arrives.

How to add categories:

1. Inside your blog, open Blog Settings.
2. Find the Categories section.
3. Add the categories that fit your business — usually 3 to 6 is plenty.
4. Save.

Step 4: Customize Your Blog Layout (Optional)

The system lets you customize the look of your blog. You can edit the Blog Home page (where all your posts are listed) and the Blog Post page (what each individual post looks like).

For now, the defaults work just fine. If you want to customize colors, fonts, or layout later, you can do it any time without breaking anything.

Step 5: Make Your Blog Public

This is the part most people miss. Creating a blog inside the platform does not automatically make it public. You have to add the blog to a funnel or website page so visitors can actually see it.

1. Inside the system, create a new Funnel or Website — or pick one you already have.
2. Add a new step or page inside it. This page will be your public blog home page.
3. Open the page in the builder.
4. Find the Blog Post element and drag it onto the page.
5. Choose your layout — Standard or Compact.
6. Customize any colors, fonts, or button styles as needed.
7. Save and publish the page.

Now your blog has a real public-facing page where visitors can see all your posts.

---

Step 6: Connect Your Domain

Your blog needs a domain so people can find it.

1. Inside the Funnel or Website that holds your blog page, open Settings.
2. Click Domains.
3. Add the domain you want your blog to live on.
4. Save.

Understanding Your Blog URL Structure

Once everything is set up, here is what your URLs will look like:

• Your domain: yourbusiness.com
• Your blog path: /b/ (The system uses /b for blog posts)
• The slug of your post: your-post-name
• The full URL: yourbusiness.com/b/your-post-name

You do not have to memorize this — the system builds the URL for you. But it helps to know what to expect when you share your posts.

How a Post Lands in Your Blog From the Post-Live Workflow

Once your blog is set up, here is what happens after every live training:

1. You finish your live session.
2. You take the transcript and paste it into your Post-Live page inside My Vision Assistant.
3. MVA writes the blog post for you — SEO-optimized, in your brand voice, with your calls to action.
4. You click the button to send the post to the system.
5. The post appears inside your blog as a draft, ready for you to schedule.

You do not write the blog post. You do not edit for SEO. You do not format anything. MVA handles all of that. Your only job is to schedule when it goes live.

---

How to Schedule a Post

1. Open your Blogs area in the platform.
2. Find the post that just came in (it will be in draft status).
3. Click the post to open it.
4. Click Update Settings (or Continue if this is the first time).
5. Confirm or adjust the details: URL slug, category, keywords, author.
6. Choose how to publish:
   • Publish now — the post goes live immediately
   • Save as draft — keep it in your blog without publishing
   • Schedule — pick a specific day and time for it to publish automatically
7. Save.

Schedule a few posts at a time and you have weeks of fresh content publishing without you touching it again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to write blog posts myself?

No. That is the whole point. MVA writes them for you from your live training transcripts. You set up the blog once, and from then on you just receive the posts and schedule when they go live.

What is the difference between the blog itself and the public blog page?

The blog is the manager where your posts live and where you create or edit them. The public blog page is a funnel or website page where visitors actually see your posts. You need both — the blog without the public page is invisible to your audience.

Why do I have to add my blog to a funnel or website? Is it not already public?

No. The system keeps the blog separate from public pages on purpose so you can customize how it shows up. The Blog Post element on a funnel or website page is what creates the actual public-facing blog.

How many categories should I create?

Usually 3 to 6. Enough to cover the main themes of your business, but not so many that your readers get lost. You can always add more later as your content grows.

What is the recommended length for the blog description?

About 250 characters. This is what search engines see in their results, so write it like a short, clear summary of what your blog is about.

Can I change a blog post URL slug after it is published?

Yes, but be careful. If you change a slug after publishing, any old links to the post will break. If you really need to change it, set up a 301 Redirect in your Domain Settings to send people from the old URL to the new one.

What happens to my posts if I delete the author profile?

The posts stay live, but the author attribution will disappear or default to a generic setting. Before you delete an author, reassign their posts to someone else.

Can I schedule multiple posts at once?

You schedule them one at a time, but you can have as many scheduled as you want. Plan a month of content in one sitting and your blog publishes on autopilot.

Where does the blog URL come from?

From the domain you added to your funnel or website (the one that holds your Blog Post element). The system builds the full URL as yourdomain.com/b/your-post-slug.
