How To Use A Blog And Social Media To Make More Money!

May 15, 2012 By Shanda Sumpter

Great news! You can make more money by using social media and blogging together.

Warning—Typical Excuse From Busy Women:

I don’t have the money and I don’t have the time!

What I am about to share with you can change the scope of your life by saving you time and making you some well-deserved passive income.

In fact, this post explains how women are happier working from home.

However, you will have to work through a learning curve that may take you thirty days or so.  But know that it’s worth every penny you’ll receive from doing the work.

To start, make sure that you have a blog on WordPress.org.  If you are using anything else, you will not get the same results online.  Google and WordPress.org (not .com) have a tight relationship, and you get to reap the inheritance just by using them.

Now, let’s get into this!

First:  Research content that your client wants to know and then write about it.  Do not blog random material and expect readers to stick.  You can gain  insight on what they want based on surveying your list to find out what they want help with.

If you don’t have a list, then do a keyword search on Amazon and read the customer comments on a related book topic.  You can gain a lot of information by seeing what upset the reader and what they appreciated from the author. It will give you a targeted viewpoint on what your client wants more of.

Second Step: Blog regularly. Let’s define that more precisely.  Blog at least three times a week, and more if you can.  Solve problems in your blogs.  It’s your time to educate your readers, and that leads to connecting deeper in their hearts.  When you make a difference for someone, they give you their trust automatically.  So give your best stuff in your blogs and love up your clients exactly where they want.

Third Step: Market your blog posts using su.pr, because thousands of new eyes will see your articles, bringing you a slew of new clients.

All you do is post your article on your blog. Then take the URL for that specific blog post and “just shorten it” in the comment box once to set up your free account with them.

Then you write a comment before the shortened link and press “post.”

I like to use hash tags when I use su.pr; however, you don’t have to.

Fourth Step: Here’s the money-making step.  Add a reliable pop-up to your site and offer an irresistible FR.EE training, E-book, or program to the new blog reader.  This needs to be EXCELLENT and provide the reader with an instant result by solving a real problem they have.

Tip: Make this report seven days, seven pages… something powerful and life-changing, but do not give them so much information that they can’t consume it fast.  Otherwise, they will not finish your giveaway and you’ll lose a connection with them.

We use Pop-Up Domination as our HeartCore Women pop-up.

Fifth Step: People drop the ball on this ALL the TIME! Look, if you want to serve more people and make more money, you are going to have to connect with your clients weekly—preferably multiple times a week.

You do this by sending out a simple newsletter once a week.  Mondays and Thursdays are the best days to send newsletters.  Feel free to send them on both days.  However, you must stay CONSISTENT for this to work.  Send your newsletter on the same day at the same time.

This is where you get to continue to build a relationship and help your client make some real shifts.  The more you help them, the more likely they will actually work with you.

This also sets the stage for you to launch e-mail campaigns, product launches, and update new programs, products, or services that you have in the newsletter.

I hope that you found this article helpful.

    Cherry, if you ever get stuck you can also look up a competitors book on Amazon and look at the customer comments. Your clients will be posting what they liked about the book. That will also give you good idea’s on what your ideal client wants to know more about! Good luck~ Shanda

    Adding a video related to what your blogging about gives value to your page.Search engines also look at how long your site visiters stay.the longer they stay the beter it looks in the eyes of the search engines.If you have a good video, people stay longer,just be sure to make it relavent to your blog.
