Can you really succeed with consistence
The answer is HELL YES!
As I have grown in my business and began coaching people along the way to grow their own business in – the one commonhold back in people who say they want to build a business is consistency. They buy programs and go to events to get all fired up then in 30 days if they aren’t making kick-ass money they fall back into running their business when they think about it.
Blogging is where I started – I remember well how it felt to write a blog post twice a week every single week and get 2-5 reads or less than 100 readers for the week.
I continued.
I had to learn WHAT my readers wanted to read more of so I found out. Not only did they start reading but 70% returned to read more than one post. Then share it with the social icons.
I followed many people who blogged with huge success. Value is a must to catch people’s interest enough to come back more than once – or to expect a post to happen on a certain date.
If you are a newspaper reading person and you are commuting to work every day, and stopped to get the paper before you started that journey each morning. Then out of the blue, the paper was not there every morning but most of the time. It would frustrate you. It wasn’t the stories that you missed it was the consistency of the paper being for sale at that time of day every day. Most people who read the paper don’t give it a second thought – if the paper will be for sale the next day…. they know it will be there.
Same with your blog post and your social media post.
If you are following me on Facebook – you will see I have my last post go out every night at 10 PM saying Good Night #Godwinks. You will not get another social media Facebook post from me until 6 AM.
My blog post goes up on Monday and Thursday on AngelaBrook.com and out to my newsletter. People expect it to show up in their inbox.
When people learn what to expect from you they will follow your content closer.
If you are not using social media on a pattern of 6 am-11 am-3 pm-6 pm-10 pm then find out when your readers are responding at peak times and set up a post for them at those times.
How long have you been blogging? Tell me below.
Angela, thanks for this article and for motivating me to get back to publishing two articles each week. I ran out of steam for a while there but I am back on. Thanks, again!
love this post. That was actually eye opening for me. I am exhibiting NO consistency.
Awesome – sometimes we all need a kick in the pants 🙂
so good to hear that! Remember you have a goal with all this work – there is a golden pot at the end of your goals but it takes work to get there
Angela, I just started a Facebook Fan page last Thursday night; already have 159 page likes in 4 days! Yay! I am hoping to get a website up in the next few weeks; then start a blog. I have figured out how to “schedule” posts on FB, but I am a complete novice at Instagram, Pintrest, Twitter. I am fumbling around on those. Any ideas on how to “schedule” those as well? Or post I. One place have it go to all? Thanks for this article…really enjoying your info! Stacy
Your website is your blog if you us wordpress – which you should do.
Yes I know how to schedule with a wonderful tool I use called hootsuite.
Love it
