Step By Step Action Plan to Drive Blog Traffic,
Grow Your Network and Make More Sales |
Jackie Lee's Empower Network Blog
by Jackie Lee | on November 9, 2012
It’s pretty easy to write and publish a blog post. It’s the part that comes after and all around the
publishing of your posts that drive traffic, grow your network and make you sales.
If you’re blogging and not quite sure about the sharing part… you’re in luck. Today I’m laying out a
step by step plan to build your blog business.
1. Create and Publish a Blog
Post
Write your blog posts as quickly as you can. Create
content that is educational, entertaining and
uniquely your own. Knowing your target market, who
you’re trying to talk to, what they are interested in,
and where they hang out helps this process a lot!
Once you know what your people are looking for
you can easily search trending videos, or facebook
to see what’s popular and create a post around
that.
2. Syndicate Your Post. Otherwise Known as Share Like
Crazy
Syndicating your post means sharing it anywhere and everywhere it is appropriate. Making sure, if
you’re using social networks, the content is appropriate and relevant to any space you’re sharing it
in. Here’s a few places to get you thinking…
Pingler
Social Monkee
Linked In
Facebook (your wall, pages, groups)
2. Twitter
Google +
Pinterest (if you’ve got a good image to share)
Stumbleupon
Social Marker or Only Wire
Slideshare
3. Make new friends and increase your network daily
Add 5-10 new facebook friends
Add 5-10 new likes on your Facebook page
Add 5-10 new LinkedIn connections
Add 25-50 new twitter followers
Add 5-10 new people to your Google+ circles
Join 5 new facebook groups related to your interests
4. Connect and Interact with your network daily
You can do this on the web, but it gets much easier when you pull in a tool called Hootsuite.
Hootsuite is the best way I’ve found to maximize my time and energy and still be active and
connect on social media.
Hootsuite allows you to organize all of your social media accounts, groups, pages etc all on one
screen. You can easily follow conversations, interact as well as schedule posts to share with your
networks.
5. Post at Least 3 status updates daily
You are, of course, going to want to share your blog
posts with your social networks. However, social
media is not a link drop and run strategy. Make sure
you share at least 3 more updates with your
network that are NOT your blog posts.
pictures
videos
articles
quotes
3. All great options… the more of yourself you share the great the connection will be with your
network.
6. Chat with 10 people daily
Using free marketing methods, like social networking, requires you to be social. It requires you to
get out and interact with your network… it works BEST when you connect.
Get out there and chat with at least 10 people daily. Use the message feature on
Facebook… send someone a message… NOT to share your business opportunity, but literally to
have a conversation! Hey, how are you doing today? is a great start.
From there talk to them about how they’re marketing, what they blog about, what kind of business
they are in… make suggestions, offer insight, converse and be helpful. If you have a blog
post that might help them in their journey feel free to send them to it.
Also if you have a group or a page that might be helpful to them, share those resources with them
as well. The goal is to get people connected to you so they can get to know you, and see your
message as you share it on your networks.
Realize you may have to send 30 messages to get 10 conversations going… that’s normal.
7. Listen to positive, educational, motivational audios
daily.
This is easily skipped or let go… but it’s one of the most important things you can do. It’s crucial to
always keep learning and growing. Listening to positive and educational audios also gives you new
ideas/concepts to blog about.
I listen to the Empower Network Inner Circle training audios daily. I always come away with at least
1 nugget to write about (even if I’ve listened to the audio tons of times before). If you’re in
Empower Network and don’t have the Inner Circle training yet, listen to the replay of the Monday
night Empower Hour call… you’ll get something new every time.
If you’re not in Empower Network scour the internet, look for audios or videos to watch or listen to
daily. This is not an optional piece of the puzzle.
8. Read for 30 minutes every day.
One of the biggest things that gets in any entrepreneur’s way is
their mind. You’ve got to keep your brain right to keep with it and
succeed. Much like listening to audio daily, reading something
educational or motivational daily is a must. This will keep your head
4. straight, and also give you tons of new ideas to blog about.
9. Read your personal manifesto twice a
day.
What? You don’t have a personal manifesto? It is KEY! Clarity is the
most crucial element of success. If you don’t know where you’re
going how on earth will you ever get there? Creating your personal manifesto gives you the clarity
you need to move forward on your goals.
I used Justin Verrengia’s model to create my personal manifesto… you can too.
10. Follow the leader
As a blogger there are going to be people you admire, or look up to. Follow their lead. They are
successful bloggers for a reason. Become an aggressive observer. Watch not only what they do,
but how they do it, what they say, where they hang out, everything about them. You’ll learn more
about becoming a stunning blogger from following a leader than just about anything else.
If you’re looking to be up close with some amazing blogging leaders
you’re in luck.
Here’s what you need t o do next .
1. Watch this video. The WHOLE video.
2. When the big add to cart button shows up after the video click it.
3. Get the blogging system and tap into leadership and training like none you’ve ever imagined!
Imagine, if this is what we give away, what we save for the team.
Have an amazing day… you deserve it!
