subject: Internet Marketing Training - 3 Simple Steps To Grow Your List With Blogging [print this page] Are you generating internet marketing leads through your blog?
Do you even use your blog as a lead generating tool?
Treat your blog like a business tool.
Are you blogging for a hobby? Fine. No need to set up an image to your squeeze page. Or opt-in form. Or calls to action.
But if you run an online business or cash gifting team you better treat your blog like a business tool. The blog is simply a gateway to The Next Step.
What is the next step? Could be signing up for your list. Or buying a product. Or joining your Facebook Fan Page. Whatever it is, gotta direct readers to do it next.
Because if you don't set up the next step - to grow your opportunity - readers will never take the next step.
Internet Marketing Training
Step 1 - Be Brutally Obvious
Take guesswork entirely out of the equation. "Sign up for my free internet marketing ecourse here." Yeah, that's pretty direct. No beating around the bush.
Because your readers are not mind readers. Your readers need to see and feel your clarity, if they are to respond to your call to action.
Be explicit. Sign up for this. Click here. Or include an opt-in form on your site. No vague-ness. No hiding away. No pushing your call under layer after layer of pages, or copy.
Step 2 - Create One Post Daily
Search engines love it. Readers love it. Each creative act is prospered, so the Universe loves it too. Blog daily. Yeah I know, too much, you ran out of ideas, etc...but here's the deal.
The more you create the less you compete. Churn out a good, helpful usable content rich post daily, for a period of months, and guess how quickly you can crank out a 600 word post, like this?
It will take you no longer than 20 minutes to write. All struggle, straining, writing blocks, etc...all those people who take hours to write posts, simply don't practice enough...or they are too attached to their writing.
Now, you can post every 2 or 3 days and still generate leads. But if can create more evergreen, helpful, usable content, your web presence expands, your work goes in front of more eyeballs and you will generate more leads than the infrequent poster. Because you are creating more, you are prolific, and you prosper accordingly.
Step 3 - Promote Others
My #1 tip to new cash gifting team members, network marketing mentors...or heck, anybody...promote the living stuffing out of others. Because some people will promote you back.
As more people promote your stuff guess who generates more leads? Because you reach out to 3 networks, then 10, then 35, then 50...you get the picture.
Promote others. Shout 'em out! Your job becomes infinitely easier because those of your friends with the pay it forward mindset will happily promote you.
Give freely receive generously. Or give freely receive easily. Just keep giving. Promote others. Aggressively. Grow your list.
Internet Marketing Training - Summary
Post explicit and clear calls on your blog. Post daily. Promote others.
Take these 3 steps to grow your list with blogging.
