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!

Lately, I’ve been in a strange phase with my work. For the last 8+ years, my blogs have been my business. They gave me freedom. Income. Even the ability for my husband and me to take a long sabbatical together. But this year feels different. I’m now running the same business while raising a baby. And I’m realizing something: The way I used to work doesn’t fit my life anymore. My time looks different. My priorities look different. Even the content I want to create feels different. For a while,...
I set up my second travel blog right after the pandemic, while I was motorbiking through Malaysia with my brother. The blog earned nothing for a solid year, and suddenly, at 13 months, I was able to monetise it properly and earn USD771.25 You can see proof of my earnings here It’s interesting that in my notes, I wrote: ‘I need to diversify revenue sources.’ Clearly, this was worrying me, but why was it taking me so long to diversify my revenue sources? I'll tell you why : Because it's...
Happy Chinese New Year to those in my community who celebrate it! Recently, I mentioned that I ran an in-person affiliate marketing workshop. You can see how much fun we had here! There were many engaging and useful parts to this workshop, but one section in particular had everyone's eyes widen in surprise. You see, quite a few participants owned blogs but had given up on them because they felt it was so hard to monetise. :( In fact, the workshop was primarily about teaching them how they...
