NOTES FOR S2 E8:
- For a hosting company, there are many options. I love\xa0HostGator\xa0& my tech website friend recommends\xa0DreamHost. (I talk more about hosting in episode 6 of this season as well.)
- If you\u2019re using a Wordpress free theme work at customizing it yourself, find a professional designer\u2014\xa0use the nifty designer search tool here\xa0\u2014or\xa0check out these guys and the awesome sites they create.
- Look into Search Engine Optimization. The free resource I mentioned: This is the helpful free resource for choosing valuable, well-searched key words. (2-3 searches a day). Decide best wording (see what google says) use that in title & 1 subtitle and a few times in article so google knows what you\u2019re writing about. Learn how to get it pinned. A lot. And see if you can get strong backlinks to it. But if you want to dive in and learn from a pro, my friend Kelly of StickyBlogging seriously teaches you everything you need to know about SEO and it all starts with the great free content she has for you right here.
- Set up an email service, with\xa0MailChimp,\xa0ConvertKit, or\xa0Flodesk. Then create funnel ebooks or printable or exclusive access videos. Decide 3-4 topics and create something irresistible. (I use Canva Pro) Store it in google drive or dropbox or on website then create shareable links and share that as a url that auto pops up when subscribe. Create 3-4 sets of emails that eventually offers them a product you\u2019re selling in that category and then adds them into your weekly email when they\u2019re done the funnel.
- Start social media accounts, creating all the accounts in the same name as your blog\u2019s name. (My ig isn\u2019t)
Finally, consider learning from a true pro, with Lisa\u2019s classes\xa0Create Your Blog Dream\xa0and\xa0Video for Bloggers. (Or\xa0sign up for both right here.) And StickyBlogging is invaluable for learning about SEO.
