by 5 Comments

Facebook has over a billion users and is the most popular social network. Being the most popular social network also makes Facebook the noisiest social network in which getting noticed is difficult. However, there are certain ways to get noticed on Facebook and get a lot of people to like your page. Here are 10 ways to do that:

  1. Post consistently. People need to see you as an active user on Facebook in order to remember who you are and go back to your page often.
  2. Host weekly contests that require likes in order to participate. People will like your page to be a part of the giveaway, and soon some of that person’s friends will also want to be a part of the giveaway. You can giveaway your product (book, training course, etc) and get more likes at the same time!
  3. Build your following. The bigger your following is, the more likes you will get. Hosting successful contests is a great way to grow your following on Facebook.
  4. Post what your fans like. If your fans are into social media, posting interesting articles about social media will get more likes.
  5. Embed Facebook posts on your blog. More people will be able to see your post, and as a result more people will like your post.
  6. Post videos. There are some videos that are getting hundreds of thousands of likes on Facebook.
  7. Use humor whenever possible. If you give someone a good laugh, they are more likely to click the like button.
  8. Post random facts that are still relevant to your page. If your page is about social media, posting a daily social media statistic will get the job done.
  9. Post infographics. Infographics are very popular on the web, and most people read the entire infographic because it comes text with pictures.
  10. Post inspirational quotes. Those always get liked on Facebook and shared on any other social network as well.

YouTube Video Tips

YouTube videos are constantly getting uploaded and published. In fact, over 100 hours worth of videos gets published on YouTube every minute. However, not all YouTube videos are created equal. There are components that go into making a quality YouTube video.

The first component of a great YouTube video is an intro. You can’t assume that everyone in the world knows about you (even if you’re one of those power users with a million subscribers). Quickly tell people who you are and where else they can find you on the web.

After the intro, you need to tell your viewers what you are going to talk about or do in the video. I either directly tell people what I am going to talk about or quickly lead to it. The title of your video should be about what you are talking about or doing in the video. People need to know and be reminded about what you are going to do.

After you tell your viewers what it presented in the video, you need to do a good job at presenting. Highlight all of the key points of your speech, taste test all of the foods you said you would taste test, and do anything else that you said you would do.

Another component towards making your YouTube video great is with an added bonus. The added bonus can be almost anything. At the end of the video, you can include a coupon for one your product. You can also provide a teaser for your next video or have two videos in one.

There are over 100 hours of videos published on YouTube every minute. In order to have your videos stand out, you need to implement these components so you create great YouTube videos. After you create a great YouTube video, all you need to do is get more views for that YouTube video.

  3. Find a way to do the interview. I use Google+ Hangouts to host my interviews. Google+ Hangouts are free and reliable, and here’s why you need to use them.
  4. Get started! Keep on finding people who you want to interview and keep on repeating this process. By doing a good job with the first interview, the person is bound to come back for a second interview.

Day by day planning is a big concept in my book, 365 Ways To Improve Your Business In 2014. By planning out your weeks and months day by day, you will have a very clear vision about what needs to get accomplished and when.

I started implementing a day by day plan, and I have gotten more accomplished than ever before. I am writing more blog posts and giving myself more time than ever before to write those blog posts. I have been able to do more YouTube videos in a day than I usually do in a month. I have also learned more about my niche by reading numerous books and blog posts.

The day by day plan is one that involves some uncomfort on your part. The goals worth accomplishing and doing the work for are the ones that involve some uncomfort in order to accomplish them. You may have to work an extra hour every day in order to get your goals accomplished.

Having a day by day action plan will give yourself the commitment you need to accomplish your goals. When I write goals in my notebook, I do everything I can to get those goals accomplished. Writing down goals is like giving your signature which is like giving your word. The day by day plan has motivated me to do a lot of the things that I do now.

Try out the day by day plan. The day by day plan has changed the way I accomplish my goals, and it can help you too.

 

The Niche Stampede

by Leave a Comment

The competition is looking for the pattern that works. Lower prices may be the pattern. Quality with a temporary coupon may be the pattern. No matter what the pattern is, the competition is looking for the pattern that works.

When the pattern that works is found, most of the competition learns about it. The result is a stampede of competitors trying to implement the pattern and have the pattern work for them. The pattern will work for the competitors, but it will work differently for different people. Some of the competitors will be able to get results similar to the person who found the pattern. Others will end up with something that works, but the results won’t be as good.

In order to lead the stampede, you need to be different from the competition while implementing the pattern that works. That is how you will be able to stand out and ultimately lead the stampede.

Get More Blog Traffic

Getting traffic is essential towards the success of any blog. You need people to see your blog in order to get more sales, more subscribers, and more visibility. For all new bloggers, getting traffic is a challenge. There are some blogs right now that have been around for a long time but still aren’t getting a lot of traffic. Some bloggers want to go from 100 visitors every day to 1,000 visitors every day and keep on growing. Regardless of where your blog stands, here are 10 ways to get more blog traffic.

  1. Post regularly and consistently. Writing 2 blog posts every day increased my traffic by 50%. Before that, I only wrote 1 blog post every day.
  2. Utilize SEO in your blogging strategy. There are a lot of things that you need to know about SEO. Here are two articles that will help you increase your blog’s SEO.
  3. Share your blog posts on your social networks. Your audience of followers won’t know about your blog until you tell them about it.
  4. Guest post on other blogs. Guest blogging will allow you to establish yourself as a quality writer. When people see you as a quality writer, they will visit your blog. In addition, writing the guest post gives your blog an extra backlink if you include it in the guest post or in your bio for the guest blog.
  5. Talk about your blog posts on YouTube. People will be able to see you and hear your voice as you describe your blog post. At the end of the video, you should promote your blog by telling others about it or having your blog’s URL on display.
  6. Answer questions on Yahoo! Answers And Wiki Answers. You can establish yourself as an expert of your niche, and you can add a link to your blog at the end of the answer.
  7. Use Help A Reporter Out. Help A Reporter Out (HARO) is one of the ways to get people to write about you. As more people write about you, you will get more backlinks and visibility.
  8. Have a product. You can use your product to promote your blog or have coupons that are exclusive to your visitors (which will encourage more people to join your blog). Having a product will also establish yourself as an expert.
  9. Include a link to your blog in your email signature. The people you email could be your friends, clients, or other people who you happen to know. They would be interested if you showed them your blog.
  10. Add social sharing buttons to your blog. This will allow your visitors to share your blog posts on their social networks, and this will result in an increase in traffic.
