One of the most common problems our clients run into is that they don't take the time to write blogs. This may be because they really don't have time in their schedule, they don't know what to write about or they don't feel confident in their writing skills. Whatever the reason, it's not getting done consistently.
So in order to market yourself online you need to have lots of information that you've published online. You can write short, quick blogs or you can do a quick video of a thought you'd like to share. Whatever it is you need to be doing it. If you aren't publishing information, nobody else will either.
The more you publish, the more followers you will have, the more leads you will get and the happier your followers will be. We have some great blog topic ideas in both our books and previous blogs. As a quick review I'll go over some popular blog topics:
* Your Story- How did you get where you are today?
* Q&A- Interview-style format
* Learning From Mistakes- Let your readers know how to avoid pitfalls you've come across.
* What You Wish You Had Known- Do you have tips to jump start someone on the track to success in your industry?
* How To- Everybody loves these. They make great YouTube videos as well
* Favorite Products and Services- Help your readers avoid shoddy products or get the most bang for their buck.
* Top 10 Lists- Have you ever watched a late night talk show?
Whether you have something awe inspiring right now or not, start writing. It will come to you. Get your content out there and market yourself as anything you want to be.
