How social media can be evergreen….
|
Confession I CONSTANTLY feel guilty about my social media strategy For one… I don't have one Two , its not set up to be seamless,curated and automated One quick look at my instagram here and you will notice a few things
I DO try my best to talk about blogging… But if you follow my IG stories you also get a hot mix of relationship advice, motivational pep talks, pics of my family and cat and wisdom from the books I read My IG truly reflects my real life Which is a rollercoaster of emotions, travel and continuous push to help everyone stay positive and stay consistent at our goals
These are questions I often ask myself after I hear yet *another* podcast/ interview from a blogger who hates social media and warns everyone to stay clear and focus instead, on emails and funnels I tended to agree and feel guilty for spending so much time on social media until ….last week I had an epiphany and it finally clicked I’ve realised, with social media, we are investing in the PEOPLE on social media And happy people who trust,like and respect you …..refer and promote your content and products … for FREE again and again and again Let that sink in for a moment Engaged people don't forget about you, they ask if you are ok when you haven't posted in awhile They ask how they can support your blogging business and refer friends to you that buy your products Everytime you post a story, you are building up trust and likeability, with your social media audience And while that post might disappear after 24 hours…. The valuable experiences you share and lessons you teach remain forever in the brains of your audience … this is what I mean by EVERGREEN I share this because I know a lot of you hate social media. (But some of you don't!) You think it involves lots of effort and you need to plan content and drain all your energy just for a post to disappear in 24 hours But this is not how it works for me I post with no consistent strategy or rhyme or reason Sometimes I don't post for weeks because I want to hang out with my family and/or travel I post stuff I like and enjoy and think will be useful for my community If that happens to be pics of a car boot sale or my little cat …or tips on how to set boundaries with your family …so be it Show up as you are, when you can The bare minimum CAN be enough and CAN make you lots of money ! I say this from personal experience And what if you hate social media ? Focus on SEO and email marketing ! Shameless plugin- Here is affordable SEO training that actually WORKS! Equally effective No doubt it helps, but you can still kick butt with your blog without it Just wanted to share this incase you too sometimes feel like your strategy is a bit all over the place and goes against the grain Do you like using social media? Id love to hear, reply and let me know! Aisha xxx PS:Pics of new the neighbourhood!

I think I've been away from a corporate job for so long that I've become delusional. I was complaining that my numbers aren't where I want them to be, but then I remembered... But how many hours do you work in a corporate job ?? If you were like me 15 years ago, you worked around 14 hours a day, sometimes more. I would work through my lunch break and past 5 pm to avoid the traffic and head back at 8 pm, sometimes later. With this in mind, it's miraculous that my business is not where I want...
I’ll be honest with you - my numbers have been down lately. 😱 Not because blogging “doesn’t work”… But because I haven’t actually worked on my blog. And here’s the truth no one tells you: 👉 Passive income isn’t 100% passive. Yes, digital products, affiliate sales, and blog traffic can continue to generate sales long after you hit publish. But if you stop showing up completely? Traffic slows. Engagement dips. Sales decline. It’s like planting a garden: The seeds will grow, but only if you keep...
When I wanted to start earning money from a blog and begin my journey of making money blogging, I just started writing and hoped for the best I had zero plan on how exactly my blog could make me money To be honest, I thought : Let's get lots of traffic, and the rest will come However, I had no plan for generating a lot of traffic either! Let’s be honest — most of us are guilty of this… We publish content without thinking: HOW will it make me money?? We get caught up in writing, editing,...
