Introduction

Here are some of the ways that you can find Guest Post opportunities as a Blogger or content developer.

Backlinks are still one of the key factors to help you climb up Google rankings.

And when it comes to link building, you have only two options:

create great content and wait for people to link to it
(insisting a little can help)
create great content and take action
Guest posting falls into the second category. It’s a process that’s pretty cheap, helps you build relationships and can land you great links. No wonder 2 out of 3 bloggers write guest posts.

That being said, guest posting is not easy. Especially finding new guest post opportunities.

In this article, I’ll share the best techniques to find blogs and websites to guest post on.

Let’s get started!

How to Find Guest Post Opportunities As a Blogger

Guest posts were not created equal.

Before diving into the process, let’s take a look at three important factors that influence the strength of the backlinks in general and guest posts links in particular.

1. The importance of relevance in Guest Post Opportunities search
Sure, the number of backlinks you receive is an important ranking factor.

But quantity isn’t the only parameter here. To identify spammers, Google also takes into account the relevance of the link.

The relevance can be broken down into two dimensions:

Domain relevance: is the website you received a backlink from in the same niche/industry as yours? This is what Majestic’s topical trust flow may help you to evaluate.

Page relevance: does the content of the page where my link was placed has anything to do with my own website and linked page?

Finding the best website to guest post on means you should make sure it belongs to the same industry/niche as yours. It also means that your post needs to be about a topic that’s closely related to your industry.

2. The importance of domain authority

 Relevance is one factor, and authority is another.

Google gives each website a specific authority score. The authority score of the referring website is taken into account to give weight to each backlink that you receive.

To put it simply, a relevant backlink from an authoritative website such as The New York Times will have a much bigger impact than a link from a small blog.

Even though its exact formula is kept secret, a few players in the industry provide estimations of this score with different SEO metrics.

Before contacting the author of the website, make sure its authority is sufficient to have a positive impact on your SEO.

3. Dofollow or nothing when searching for Guest Post Opportunities
In Google’s eyes, there are two kinds of outbound links: dofollow and nofollow links.

In short, any link with the rel=”nofollow” parameter will not pass the authority to your website.

So before reaching out to a webmaster, make sure the links inside the guest posts don’t contain the nofollow parameter. In Google Chrome, for example, you can do that easily by inspecting the link.

Let’s do a quick recap. When looking for your targets, remember to ask yourself these three questions:

Is the website in the same niche as yours?
Has the domain a high authority?
Are links dofollow?
Now you’re ready for the next steps: finding the actual websites to contact.

Technique #1: Check your competitors’ guest posts

One of the easiest ways to find websites that accept guest posts in your niche is to spy on your competitors.

They’ve already done the hard work! You just need to follow their steps to find the right websites.

Using a tool such as Linkminer, you can explore the backlinks your competitor has received. Of course, we don’t want all the backlinks, but only those that are dofollow and from high authority domains.

Linkminer offers two options that allow you to select these websites only. First, you can use the “dofollow” filter so you don’t waste your time with nofollow links. Then, you can sort the backlinks by Link Strength to show only the most authoritative websites.

Will these links be relevant as well? We can assume that they will, since your competitors received links from them. Of course, the final decision is up to your consideration.

When doing the outreach, you can mention your competitor’s article in your email:

“I saw that you mentioned this topic on your blog in this specific article. I’m an expert in this field and I’d like to share a different angle on the topic”… It shows you’ve read their blog and will increase your chances to land a guest post.

Technique #2: Contact your partners

This is one of the most overlooked techniques and also one of the most simple and efficient.

Why?

If you already have a relationship with some people or businesses, they’re more likely to accept a guest post from you as they know you and (probably) want to maintain a good relationship with you.

And as they operate in the same industry, the link will be very relevant.

There’s nothing else to add. It is definitely worth a shot.

Technique #3: Use search operators to find Guest Post opportunities

Let’s start with a quick explanation.

Search operators are search strings that you can add to your query to find specific websites.

The following list includes popular search operators used to find possible guest post opportunities. To maximize the relevance, combine them with a specific niche keyword.

For example, if I were to look for guest post opportunities for an online marketing tool, I would combine all these search operators with “online marketing” and would search for “submit post” online marketing, “bloggers wanted” online marketing, etc.

“write for us”
“guest post”
“submit post”
“guest post by”
“bloggers wanted”
“writers wanted”
“submit guest post”
“submit a guest post”
“submit blog post”
“become a guest blogger”
“guest post guidelines”
“submit an article”
“become an author”
“become a contributor”
“guest bloggers wanted”
“contribute to our site”
“become a guest writer”
“submission guidelines”
“the following guest post”
inurl:guest-post-guidelines
inurl:guest-posts
inurl:write-for-us

You can do these searches manually, or you can use Scrapebox to automate the process (the website looks shady but the tool is actually safe and super useful).

Once your list is ready, extract the root domain for each link, remove duplicate domains and rank the websites by authority.

Technique #4: Check directories
This one is easy.

Some people have already prepared lists of websites that accept guest posts.

To find them, simply look for “websites that accept guest posts” on Google + your industry.

A preview of Google results for “websites that accept guest posts online marketing”

It may look easy, but it may be tricky. The websites included in these lists often receive tons of guest post propositions. You’ll have to write a very convincing outreach email to stand out from the crowd.

Technique #5: Monitor your industry keywords

The 4 techniques I shared so far are good to create a static list to start from.

But what if you want to grow your guest post opportunities list over time?

Monitoring specific keywords can help a great deal. First, because it can help you spot your competitors’ new guest posts and apply technique #1 in real-time. To do so, simply monitor your competitors’ names.

It can also help you to spot the websites that talk about topics related to your service. In my experience, reaching out to these websites with a guest post proposition related to a topic they recently mentioned works pretty well. To do so, monitor 4-10 keywords related to the service you offer.

Now, what tool can you use to do it?

I personally use Mention. But there are alternatives such as Google Alert (not so great in my experience), Awario or Brand24.

Wrap-up

Once you’ve applied these 5 techniques, you should come up with a pretty long Excel sheet.

Don’t get discouraged! Prioritize by relevance and authority (the authority being the most objective factor).

Then, it’s time to contact these websites. Good luck.

If you’re looking to increase your return on investment, the first step is figuring out how much you’re currently getting from your internet marketing efforts. Don’t worry, though; it doesn’t take a bunch of complicated calculations to figure this out.

You just need to know two things about your existing situation and determine what changes you want to make based on that information.

Here are three easy ways to do that and start increasing your ROI with internet marketing optimization today!

#1 Keyword Analysis

The first step in internet marketing optimization is understanding which keywords potential customers are using to find your product or service. To do this, you can use a keyword research tool like Google AdWords Keyword Planner.

Once you know which keywords are most popular, you can incorporate them into your website and other marketing materials.

#2 Website Design

Your website is the first impression potential customers will have of your business. It needs to be well-designed and easy to navigate, with clear calls to action that make it easy for visitors to learn more about your products or services and get in touch with you.

An effective website design will help you stand out from your competitors and make a good impression on potential customers.

Here are some tips for designing a website that will help you achieve your internet marketing goals:

1. Keep it simple.
2. Don’t make users scroll endlessly to find what they’re looking for.
3. Choose content carefully and focus on quality over quantity.
4. Make sure your site loads quickly on mobile devices so people can find what they need quickly no matter where they are browsing from.

#3 Long Tail Keywords

If you want to stand out in the online world, you need to make sure you’re using long tail keywords.

These are specific phrases that potential customers are more likely to use when they’re close to making a purchase.

By optimizing your website and content for these keywords, you can increase your chances of getting found by people who are ready to buy.

#4  Digital Marketing Campaigns

You can’t just create a digital marketing campaign and forget about it. You need to constantly monitor and adjust your campaigns to ensure that you’re getting the most return on your investment (ROI).

Here are some tips on how to optimize your internet marketing campaigns for maximum ROI:

1. Define your goals and objectives: What do you want to achieve with your digital marketing campaign? If you don’t know, then you won’t be able to measure your success.

2. Determine what is working and what isn’t: Track conversions, revenue, traffic sources, etc., so that you can tell which parts of your campaign are working or not working.

3. Evaluate your competitors: Take note of their advertising techniques, websites, videos, blogs, social media sites and more. Figure out what they’re doing right and incorporate it into your own campaign if necessary.

4. Make adjustments based on feedback: Don’t get discouraged if things aren’t going as planned; make adjustments in areas where needed to see if it helps any.

#5 SEO on Youtube

You can use YouTube to not only host your videos, but also to improve your video’s SEO. Here are a few tips:
1. Use keyword-rich titles and descriptions
2. Create transcripts of your videos for better indexing
3. Optimize your thumbnails and channel art
4. Use annotations and cards to encourage viewers to take action
5. Leverage YouTube’s advertising options

#6 Guest Blogging

If you’re not already guest blogging, you should be. It’s an excellent way to get your name and your website in front of a new audience, and it can also help boost your SEO. But how do you make sure you’re getting the most out of your guest blogging efforts?

Here are a few tips:

1. Do your research: Make sure you’re guest blogging on a site that’s relevant to your niche. Otherwise, you’re just wasting your time. If you don’t have any specific sites in mind, search for blogs in your industry and see who has openings for guest bloggers. Don’t forget to read the rules for posting as well so you know what is expected of you before sending anything over.

2. Think about topics beyond posts: Many people view blog posts as the only form of content they need to provide when they blog on someone else’s site – but this isn’t true!

#7 Email Marketing

Email marketing is a form of direct marketing that uses electronic mail as a means of communicating commercial or fundraising messages to an audience. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or current customer could be considered email marketing.

The goal of any such campaign is usually either the acquisition of new customers or the retention and growth of existing ones.

Consequently, these campaigns generally provide special offers, promotions and discounts to entice recipients to take some desired action, such as signing up for a newsletter or purchasing a product online.

#8 Personal Branding

Personal branding is one of the most important aspects of internet marketing. By creating a strong personal brand, you can increase your chances of success online. Here are five tips for creating a strong personal brand:

1. Keep it consistent: Your personal brand should be consistent across all platforms, from your website to your social media profiles.

2. Be unique: Stand out from the crowd by being unique and offering something different from everyone else.

3. Be authentic: Authenticity is crucial in building trust with your audience. When people know that they can relate to you on a personal level, they will be more likely to buy from you or do business with you. 4. Stay true to yourself: Don’t try to create an image that isn’t true to who you are as a person or company in order for it conform better with what others want.

5. Pay attention: You need to pay attention to every aspect of your personal brand. Every time you’re posting on social media, updating your blog, etc., ask yourself if it’s going to strengthen your reputation and stand out from the rest.

The above question has been a common question among bloggers and this post will you improve your blog. Keep reading…

If you want to drive more traffic to your blog and increase your visibility, you’re going to need to ensure that you aren’t leaving anything on the table. You’ll want to maximize every single opportunity that you can, which means looking at different ways that you can drive traffic from multiple sources.

Here are six great methods that you can use today to help drive traffic to your blog and increase your online presence.

#1. Write Great Content

The number one thing you can do today to increase your traffic is simply published great content. If you’re interested in driving a lot of organic traffic, focus on consistently publishing great content that people want to read and share.

This will make it easier for search engines to find your site and rank it highly for relevant terms. It will also make it easier for other bloggers to share your content with their readers, which can lead to more referral traffic.

#2. Create Quality Backlinks

You’ve got a great piece of content and it’s on a topic that people want to read about, but no one knows it exists yet. The only way they’re going to find out is if you can get quality backlinks pointing at your site.

Don’t just ask anyone either, find credible sites in your industry or niche and make sure you exchange links with them. If you don’t know how to do that, use an SEO tool like Ahrefs to analyze their link profile first. It will show you what kind of anchor text they are using for their backlinks.

Then, simply replicate their process by making your relevant links with similar anchor texts so that Google sees you as someone who shares information rather than someone trying to game its system.

#3. Share on Social Media, Comment on Other Blogs

The best way to drive a ton of traffic is by commenting on other blogs, as well as sharing on social media. Since you’re adding value and giving away information for free, people will start following you and driving even more traffic back to your site. The key here is linking back to original content with contextual links.

If someone asks a question in their post, answer it directly in your comment. If they link to an outside resource, use that link when referencing it in your comment. This helps create a natural flow of traffic from one post to another that drives targeted visitors back to your website.

#4. Ask For Feedback

If you know someone who reads or writes for a living, ask them for feedback on your writing. Specifically, ask if there’s anything that sounds awkward or is difficult to read.

Sometimes it can be hard to see our own mistakes and find flaws in our writing without another person’s perspective. If you feel comfortable doing so, ask them if they have any suggestions on how you could make it better.

You may even consider sending them an entire draft of something you’re working on rather than just asking for feedback from one specific piece. The more eyes you get looking at your work, the more likely it will be improved before publishing.

#5. Participate in a Community or Network of Bloggers

One of the best ways to increase your exposure on Google is by participating in a community or network of bloggers. There are tons of these out there; blogging has become an integral part of internet culture over recent years, so finding one that fits you is pretty simple.

Once you’ve got that down, it’s just a matter of sharing links and commenting frequently on others’ blogs (Just make sure you read their posts before leaving comments!)

By being active within these communities, you can build relationships with other bloggers who will share your content, and maybe even link back to it, helping you get more exposure from search engines.

#6. SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Although Google is less dependent on keywords in rankings than it used to be, having a site filled with words and phrases that people are likely to search for will still give you an edge over those who lack a keyword strategy.

SEO isn’t just about stuffing as many keywords into your pages as possible, though, it’s also about choosing carefully what words and phrases you target, and how those words and phrases appear on your page.

For example, How to make money blogging may have more traffic potential than Blogging for profit tips. Your goal should be to make sure that every page of your website has at least one or two keywords or keyphrases in it somewhere; otherwise, you might find yourself getting lost in the shuffle when it comes time for search engines to do their thing.

You can use tools like Google AdWords Keyword Planner to research which keywords and keyphrases are most popular among searchers.

These are obviously the free ways to drive traffic to your blog. Slow and steady wins the raise.

Why My Blog is Not Getting Traffic?

To understand why Google might not be sending you as much traffic as you’d like, let’s first talk about why Google likes a site.

For example, if a lot of other sites link to yours (the linking concept is called link popularity), or if a lot of people read and share content on yours regularly (called engagement), then that tells Google that yours is a popular and engaging site, so it will send more visitors to you.

If none of these things are happening for you, then there are a few reasons why. You could have chosen an unpopular topic for your website—if no one cares about what you’re writing about, they won’t go to your site and tell their friends either.

Or maybe you don’t have any quality content—if readers can’t find anything useful when they get to your site, they won’t come back again.

What is Good Traffic For a Blog?

Various metrics can be used to determine whether or not a website is popular, and how much traffic it has. One of these metrics is Google PageRank, which uses a scale of 1–10 to measure how important a site is.

The higher a site’s PageRank score, the more likely it will appear in search results. However, there are many factors involved in determining how high a site appears on search engine result pages (SERPs).

For example, how often people link to you from other sites—known as backlinks—is an important factor. In addition, how popular your topic is can also affect how high you rank on SERPs.

This is why choosing a niche for your website can help increase its popularity; if you choose a highly-popular niche, chances are that more people will be searching for information related to your site than if you chose a less-popular niche.

Finally, how frequently new content is added to your site can influence how well it ranks on SERPs; Google likes sites with fresh content because they tend to have higher visitor engagement rates than those without new content.

Blog Traffic Checker

There are a lot of different tools that will allow you to check statistics on your website, but one of my favourites is Google Analytics.

You can use it to see where people are coming from when they click on your links, what they’re searching for in search engines, how much time they spend on each page, and which pages convert most effectively (i.e., what action do they take after reading that particular page).

These are important factors to consider when trying to increase your visitors. The more you know about how people interact with your site, the better equipped you’ll be to make changes that improve performance.

In my previous articles, I have talked about some of the factors that you need to consider when you have to host your website. I have also talked about some of the elements of a good web design. In this article, I would like to talk about fifteen guidelines for creating effective web content. Follow me as we are going to look at that in this article.

Here are the guidelines…

#1 Clear and simple language

When you are writing your content for publishing, you have to make sure that you are writing in a simple and clear language. You should avoid the use of ambiguous words that will make it difficult for your user to understand the message that you are trying to pass across. You need to ensure that you also make use of short sentences when you need to write your article.

#2 One paragraph. One idea

Also, when you are writing your content, please you need to ensure that your ideas are not jammed together. You need to make sure that it is only one idea that is been discussed in one paragraph. This will ensure that the whole concept sank into the mind of your audience. Doing this will prove to your reader that you know what you are talking about. It will allow them to stay longer on your website.

#3 Descriptive subheadings

Also, if you want to write great online content, you need to adopt the use of descriptive subheadings that tells your users what a particular paragraph is talking about. This will enable the spiders to know what a particular paragraph is talking about. But you have to really indicate it that it is a subheading by using H2 or H3 headers.

#4 Highlight important words

In addition, if you are creating great web content for your website, you need to ensure that important words are highlighted and bolded so that users can reckon with those words. This will allow your users to know the key takeaway from a particular article. It will also allow the major points of a particular article to sink in the mind of your audience.

#5 Use Descriptive link text

Also, when you are trying to create online web content, you need to include links that relate to your previous articles. It is also ideal for you to link to articles that are outside your blog or website. Those links should be descriptive enough and they should be linked to articles that are similar to what is highlighted. This will help Spiders to understand your blog better. It will also reduce bounce on your website.

#6 Left Align Text

By and large, when you are writing your content, you need to ensure that your articles are aligned from the left to the right side. That seems to be the normal way for most languages. This also goes with the natural eye movement when people are reading content on websites. This will definitely assist spiders in understanding your content better.

#7 Visual alignment

Also, when you are creating your web content, you need to ensure that graphics are added in order to drive home your points. Adding graphics will also assist in conveying the messages that you are trying to pass across to your target audience but you need to ensure that the texts and the graphics work together. The two must be conveying the same message.

#8 Proper structure element

Also, when you are presenting your online content, you need to make sure that you are using a document structure that will make your article easier to understand. You need to make sure that the paragraphs are well arranged so that it will be easy for your users to follow your article.

#9 Use natural-sounding language

Also, when you are creating your online content, you need to make use of a natural-sounding language. You must write the content as if you are explaining to someone that already knows nothing about the topic being discussed. You must be persuasive enough when you are trying to present the idea to your target audience.

#10  Be direct with the audience

Also, when it comes to creating great content, you need to be direct with your audience. There is no need for you to cajole your audience. You need to try as much as possible to let them know that you understand their problem and you have what it takes to solve their problem. You must be able to convince your audience that you are an authority when it comes to resolving issues that have to do with your customers.

#11 Creating Tables

 Also, as far as your customers and readers are concerned, you need to create tables that transform with different browsers. I have said it one of my articles that you should be mindful of using tables. You need to make sure that your tables are browser responsive. It should remain intact when that table is opened from different browsers.

#12 User interface

Also, you have to ensure that the user interfaces are accessible. When you are creating content, you need to make sure that your tabs and other elements that you need to access when you are on that particular page. If it is a website that people have to make payments to, you need to ensure that the payment buttons are available even on mobile phones.

#13 Page activation

Also, you need to make sure that you design device-independent page elements that can be activated through a variety of input devices. You can design your website to open different pages or contents based on the type of device that the user is using to access the content.

#14 Temporary accessibility solutions

Also, when it comes to accessibility and the design of your content, you need to make sure that you create temporary accessibility solutions for your content. That means, if it happens that the main content that the user is trying to access is not available, there should be a particular content that will be made available to users while they are waiting for the actual content to open.

#15 Contextual information

Also, you need to include contextual information that will allow your users to understand your content better. You should not present your content as if you are writing in parables. You need to ensure that you include examples and illustrations that will allow your readers to understand your content better.

The performance of affiliate link promotion depends on the type of interaction you have with your audience, as well as on the influence you have in the online community. Also, it might be a matter of preference choosing one strategy and not the other.

It is crucial to monitor affiliate marketing efforts and to evaluate the performance of this type of online marketing. The most relevant statistics you need to keep an eye on are the following:

The products that get most clicks/conversions

Monitor the data above for each type of promotion to conclude if one (or several) of these show outstanding performance and are able to generate the highest number of conversions.

This evaluation can show if certain products perform better than the rest, and it can also show the type of promotion that gets most conversions. It can also be used to find out more about your audience and how each of these approaches is effective among those users.

For example, some products might be particularly popular among users from a specific location. Or a product mention strategy might be converting better than a banner. All of this can greatly influence your planning and the road you will take with developing your affiliate marketing strategy even further.

• The number of clicks
• The number of conversions
• The data about those who click (age group, gender, location, etc.)

The online world has tremendously affected our everyday lives that sometimes it might even seem impossible to imagine our lives without technology and online communication. This trend naturally transferred to the business world, where the new technologies opened up so many exciting opportunities.

The businesses out there were no longer confined by location or restricted by infrastructure. Once everyone hurled to the big cities because these have been places enabling your business to grow. Businesses needed more qualified employees, they wanted exposure to more customers and opportunities to network and create partnerships.

All of these required your business having headquarters in a big city, but this is no longer needed. All you need is a computer and the internet connection, and you are ready to take your business anywhere you want. In this article, I want to talk about some Fundamental Facts about Affiliate Marketing.

Speaking of the business world, this term has so long been used in relation to big corporations and management teams, but nowadays, we see more and more one-man businesses that grow and expand their reach globally.

There is a significant number of businesses completely set up and run by a single person. Or they start as such, only to expand as their influence online begins to increase. Entrepreneurship has become a popular business model which helped so many wonderful business ideas come to life.

The possibilities on the market are numerous, especially if we have in mind the online market. There are so many different ways and strategies to set up and grow a business, depending on the niche, resources, knowledge, etc. What is safe to say is that these opportunities are a part of the online world, and new opportunities keep popping up. One of those is affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing

While every business starting out nowadays will first create a website, optimize it and then head to social media to establish a presence there, not everyone will consider affiliate marketing as an opportunity at first. The goal of this ebook will be to show you the real potential of affiliate marketing and how developing a strategy of your own can help your profits soar and your business grow.

For starters, you will need to understand the difference between being a merchant and an affiliate because these require two completely different strategies.

In fact, these can develop your business in different ways, so you can either focus on one or choose to be both, a merchant and an affiliate, which, although less frequent, is still doable. You will also learn about business models that are available in affiliate marketing.

Affiliate programs and tools will be essential parts of your strategy, which is why you need to learn about those as well.

Your goal will be to learn as much as possible about affiliate marketing opportunities and about different affiliate programs and tools that enable you to form your own custom strategy, an approach and a plan which will be oriented towards one idea – improve your business through affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is a part of online marketing, which means it is connected and related to all of the segments of online marketing. This is why there will be a chapter about this connection, and how using affiliate marketing requires at least basic knowledge of online marketing in general.

Content Marketing Strategy: How To Develop A Plan

Having an effective content marketing strategy can help you spread your brand far and wide, helping to generate more leads, drive more sales, and increase your overall business visibility.

However, creating an effective content marketing strategy can be challenging without any prior experience.

Here are some tips to help you create an effective content marketing strategy in no time at all.

What Are Content Marketing Strategies?

Content marketing is no longer an option. In 2017, 64% of marketers are creating content for their businesses.

It’s crucial to stay ahead of your competition by creating and sharing high-quality, unique content with your target audience on social media, in blogs, and in email newsletters.

A solid content marketing strategy helps you reach your business goals while boosting engagement with customers and prospects through sharing valuable information they want.

Types of Content Marketing

The type of content marketing you’ll choose will depend on your end goals and on who your target audience is.

If you’re looking for brand awareness, social media or blogging would work well;

if you want to build interest in a product, try email;

if you are trying to generate sales leads, search engine optimization (SEO) would be ideal.

Knowing your objective before starting will help ensure that your content campaign is successful.

How Will You Find The Time?

When you’re just starting, it can be difficult to justify spending much time or money on content marketing. Even if you do have additional resources, developing and executing a coherent content marketing strategy will require some attention from you to get it off the ground.

To make things easier, consider outsourcing some of your content creation efforts or hiring an agency or freelancer for specific projects—or look into various tools and resources that can help with certain aspects of your strategy.

Who Is Your Audience?

The key to good content marketing is knowing who you’re talking to. It sounds obvious, but many people forget that you can’t speak in generalities and expect anyone and everyone to get it.

Figure out your main audience, and use that group as a starting point for understanding their needs, values, pain points, and preferred media channels.

Choose Your Target Audience First

You’ll want to consider your target audience and make sure that your content meets their needs. Once you know who they are, start figuring out what they want.

This might mean spending some time researching blogs in your niche or even taking surveys of current customers.

Try creating an ideal buyer persona based on market research so you can tailor your content specifically for that audience.

Build Relationships with Influencers and Communities

A content marketing strategy for small businesses starts with building relationships with communities and influencers.

The first step is identifying which online communities you’d like to join. Look at hashtags, LinkedIn groups, blogs, Facebook groups, and Twitter chats to find where your customers hang out online. When joining these groups, be sure to post valuable information.

Once you’ve identified the online communities that align most closely with your business goals, begin participating in conversations by posting relevant content or sharing articles from reputable sources.

Where will you create your content?

It’s important to pick a channel that best fits your target audience. For example, it may be better for you to create videos instead of writing blogs if you know most of your potential customers are visual learners and come from social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

Similarly, if you think your target customer is more likely to visit LinkedIn than YouTube, choose blogging over video as your main content creation method.

Other factors to consider when deciding where to create your content include the amount of time and resources you have available, the type of message you want to send out (if it’s an advertisement), or what types of questions people ask about your product.

Get Familiar with Keyword Research Tools

Google’s Keyword Planner is excellent for determining which keywords people are using in search of products or services like yours.

Use these terms in your content, on your site, and in social media posts. Make sure to include them in the body copy as well as the title tags and meta descriptions.

In this way, you can attract new visitors who are already interested in what you have to offer! For example, if your company offers custom gifts such as promotional pens, that may be a keyword such as promotional pens.

If someone searched for promotional pens, they would find one of your pages that had an appealing headline about custom-made pens and would likely click through to read more about it.

You want to include those keywords throughout your blog post so it shows up when someone searches for them on Google Search.

Learn from Others’ Successes, Mistakes, and Strategies

One way is to learn from others’ successes, mistakes, and strategies. The best resource for learning what others have done right or wrong is by reading blogs. Find out what works for others and make it work for you.

The best time management tip I can give is to read more blogs! Most successful bloggers share their own experiences in detail about their journey, especially if it has some pain points or bumps in it. Look at what they did wrong, and what they could have done better, and adjust your approach accordingly.

When writing a blog post you may want to ask yourself the following questions: What am I trying to say? How do I want readers to feel after reading my post? Which type of language should I use?

What words should I avoid using? Which keywords should I include? Where do these keywords go on the page? When should I post my new content? Which social media platforms should I be active on? Who is my target audience, and where are they online most often? Is this content relevant to them? Does it solve a problem for them? How can I get traffic to this site through other sites (aka backlinks)? And finally, when will I start seeing results from this content marketing strategy?

In general, it takes 3-6 months before any major changes happen when doing content marketing. However, once you are active in publishing monthly, you would start getting visitors to your site and engagement with your brand in short order.

Just remember that patience is key because no tactic works overnight.
