for-growing-a-business-sociallyDid you set goals for growing a business socially when you first started blogging?

I didn’t. I know now that was silly of me!

I started out with flawed thinking.

I just wanted to learn how to blog and get found.

  • Didn’t have a clue how to get noticed, other than studying SEO!

However, in the last several years, I did learn that there is much more to it than that.

This great lesson allowed me to refocus and envision how I could make use of and what I wanted to be doing for growing a business socially with goals and strategies.

Think about this…

It’s the Stroke of Midnight.

Where were you last year when 2014 turned into 2015?

Is that where you wanted to be?

Have you ever made a New Year’s Resolution that you’ve kept? Maybe you kept a few of them.

Meanwhile…

I’ve been setting the same New Year’s resolution for growing a business socially for the past 2 years.

how to break through - best to use for postI’ve enjoyed my journey through the wilderness of social media marketing, because I have an end goal.

To drive powerfully relevant traffic, build relationships, attract more email leads to build my list, and generate revenue.

But that’s just part of the story…

I started blogging in 2009. Within months I knew I was hungry for more social media.

– So I started to put together my own Social Media Content Marketing Plan as a system to guide me to reach my goals and successes.

  • I also learned that I had to separate myself from the crowd by being unique. You can learn a bit more about my personal journey at Coach Donna’s Story

These ideas will hopefully help you get more from your social media marketing and blogging but there’s always more to learn that can be applied as well.

There no doubt about it.

We all know that social media is huge for bloggers and marketers who want to increase sales, brand visibility, and community around their products.

Helping them more easily start conversations with their target audiences online.

How do successful online marketers hike their way through the wilderness in social media marketing?
