What Results Do You Want From Your Blog and Social Media?

Donna Ward

How about I share with you some results you can be getting from your blog and social media with the people you’re trying to communicate with through your blog and social media?

Bear with me here:

Your blog and social media are valuable tools to use in helping strengthen your brand and reaching out to potential audiences.

But before I jump into the details, let me say this…

We all want to get found online, great then what?

  • Convert your blog visitors that are coming over from social media.

nurture your market, convert, list building, email marketingLet’s talk about that, as a result, you can and must have from your blog and social media.

  • I =m talking about using your content to attract and grow your email marketing, which can be profitable for anybody, no matter what kind of product or service you offer.

But building your list, which is the foundation of email marketing success is in the quality and size of that list, takes a lot of content – podcasts, posts, videos, newsletters, and consistent contacts through your emails. Because your goal is to build a list of subscribers that trust you and consider you an expert in your field! Then your response rates will constantly climb – helping you have more clients, more business, and more fun.

You probably are creating content to help share and grow your business. Some of your content seems to attract your niche and because of that, it’s a lot more effective in helping to grow your email list – which means more interest in what you do and offer that can help your audience want to get more involved with how you can help them.

But whatever type of content you put out to your audience, you’ll want a certain purpose, for your ideal audience, and have a goal in mind of where you’ll be leading them.

And you’ll want to do it efficiently with a theme in mind which helps determine what your goals will be for the week, the month, the quarter…

Defining Your Content With Your Monthly Theme

Constantly having to change hats and not having a plan really does stop the work that is fresh on your mind.

I know (really well!) that when you can sit, stay focused, and finish a task as you have planned you not only feel great about it… like instant gratification!

But the interruptions seem to be intentional because all of a sudden you remember something, like ‘uh-oh’ I need to post in my group, page, Instagram, etc, taking time away from your planned project.

When you have a system you follow, you can take a look at it being all done for the day, week, and even working into the month of growing your business, and it feels like such a release of the ‘have tos’ as you’re getting it done!

You can also get your pieces of content are ready to go based on a theme.
