Digital Marketing Strategy for Online Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, and Solopreneurs
Blog posts, emails, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook – how exactly are all of these bloggers and business owners coming up with a continuous stream of brand new content every single day? Best secret ever…they AREN’T. If you’re like most people, you follow lots of different people who all write about similar topics. I follow lots and lots of people who create content about blogging + business,…
This post was originally sent to my email list, but I loved the response so I’m sharing it here too! Last week (as I absentmindedly opened Instagram when I should have been working) I received a message that gave me a BIG reminder. Something that is so easy to forget as we become submerged in the work. Something SO important for making your blog or…
Recently in the Dare to Grow Facebook group we talked about an issue that I’ve heard from lots and lots of bloggers so I want to share some ideas to fix that problem here! Tell me if this sounds familiar . . . You have a list blog post ideas, everything is in your calendar, you have a plan for writing and publishing new content,…
Happy Wednesday! I sent this as an email to my list a couple of weeks ago and got so many responses I thought I’d share it here too! I was listening to a podcast (I think, or possibly wandering Youtube) a few weeks ago and the guest said something that set off fireworks in my brain. I didn’t get the exact quote, but the sentiment…
Today’s post is an email I sent to my list last week. It received so many thoughtful and enthusiastic responses that I wanted to share it here as well. (Most of my emails don’t end up anywhere but in subscriber inboxes, so jump on my list to receive my weekly emails if you aren’t already subscribed.) Today I want to talk about one of the negative…
How many people start blogs, get so excited to create content and share what they’re passionate about online, and then give up after just a few months? Judging from some quick and dirty internet research, it’s A TON. So here are 4 things that lead beginner bloggers straight toward failure so that you can grow your blog AND keep it going strong for a long time.
Today we’re going to talk about something that some bloggers find really fun and some bloggers seriously struggle with. And that thing is . . . branding. Now, we’re not just talking about a logo here. We’re talking about all the visuals for your blog and how those visuals + what you share makes your readers feel. Because branding is less about picking fonts (though…
So you know you need to be blogging every week and you know you need to be posting on social media multiple times every day. But I’m guessing one of the things slowing you down and keeping you from posting consistently is your images. Specifically taking your own photos that look somewhat professional, well styled, and on-brand. The good new is, you don’t need to take photography classes and…
Funny story…for as long as I have been blogging and as much as I promote blogging as the best marketing tool today, I did not actually write a blog for my business when I started freelancing. Oops . . . I did have a blog and that is where most of my clients came from, but I was blogging about make-up and music and what…
Does this sound familiar . . . You’re into the idea of blogging and you know you need to create content on a regular basis, but actually sitting down to write…not really happening. Maybe your spelling skills aren’t great or cranking out over 1000 words every week sounds like torture, or maybe you’re fine with writing but what you’ve been publishing isn’t gaining much traction. Good…
If you’re not sure you can turn your passions into a successful blog because your niche is too small or weird. Or you’re worried there aren’t enough people interested in the same things, take note my friend. You don’t have to blog about blogging, business, fashion, or beauty, you don’t have to be a mommy blogger or a “lifestyle” blogger (whatever that is) in order to grow…
I’m one of those weirdos that likes a process for everything. I’ve had the exact same morning routine for over two years. I get dressed, walk the dog, feed the dog, make tea and a breakfast burrito, and then park it on the couch to load TailWind with pins and answer questions in my blogging communities. Same tasks, same order, every single day. Now, this…
If you’ve been thinking about starting your very first blog, but have yet to make it happen, today is the day. Blogging is one of the best (and easiest!) ways to build your tribe online, grow your business, and even make a little extra cash on the side. (YES, just from blogging.) It was my hobby for 16 years and now my business for over…
So you probably already know that publishing content on your blog, your email list, and on social on a regular basis is KEY in growing your online presence and getting those clients and customers, right? And because of this you’ve probably felt stressed or overwhelmed trying to figure out how you’re supposed to come up with new and original stuff for all of those platforms every single…
