Take Action Today Using This Guide And Watch What Happens With Your Blog. Simple to follow. Easy to put into practice.
If you’ve been around with me for a while, you’ve likely heard me mention this first item on our agenda many, many times.
A must-have for every internet site. Have you guessed it? The email opt-in for capturing emails and creating subscribers. This – your email list – is your bread and butter.
So, the first step you want to do is set up your email provider. I’ve mentioned before, that after a ton of research and comparison, I started my journey with AWeber. I still find AWeber to be a solid and reliable choice today, although there are a great number of easy-to-use, affordable options available to you that would all make excellent choices. I highly recommend doing your due diligence and doing your own research and comparisons.
It always makes me smile to see a business, a company, a person, or even a product or service that I was there for their beginning thriving and going strong today.
The Exchange Offer
Still arguably the number one method for converting visitors to subscribers is to offer something of relevance and value in exchange. WritersBra subscribers get lifetime access to the digital download of the most current version of my complete Character Development Kit for building relatable, believable, living characters.
Coming Up With Fresh Content Ideas
Make note of post ideas (real-time!) as they come to you. This could be a killer title or a few sentences that sparked your creativity.
Even if your go-to is electronic recording and storage, keep a small notebook and pen with you always. Trust me; you’ll be thanking me sooner than you think!
These quick notes make great jumping points for future content creation, as well as a revealing history and evolution of your key word usage.
Networking Leverage
Build a rapport with other content producers in your niche. These peers are not your enemy. Quite the opposite. A professional relationship between you can lead to incredible and often rapid growth through joint venture partnerships.
While it’s fine to target some of the better known A-Listers, make it a point to devote some focus to fostering connections with growing creators like yourself. They will be more receptive to sharing your brand with their audience or to sharing resources and information with you.
Engage Your Customers.
Don’t just rely on your customers to comment on your content. Ask them to!
Try asking open-ended questions.
Open-ended questions tend to yield the best response rate. This holds true when posting on social media as well, such as on Facebook and Twitter.
Be Vigilantly Creative
Get creative with the ways in which you request comments and feedback. You’ll be doing this at the end of many, if not most, of your postings. It’s going to require some thought and imagination not to appear repetitive.
