8 Tips for New Influencers & Bloggers
If you are just getting started with your blog, Instagram, or social media accounts, this podcast episode is for you.
Here 8 tips for new bloggers and influencers:
1. Define your purpose
If you’re just starting out or have recently started a new blog or new Instagram, I would recommend taking the time to define why you’re starting you’re platform.
· Are you passionate about cooking healthy meals at home on a budget?
· Are you wanting to share your financial expertise with other women?
· Are you excited to share what drug store make up products are the best?
2. Create a clear point of view
Creating a clear point of view helps your audience understand what type of content they can expect from you. It also helps your audience understand what type of content they can go to you for.
3. Choose a channel that works with your communication style
- If you’re comfortable taking photos, maybe you should start an Instagram.
- If you love writing, you should start a blog.
- If you’re not comfortable speaking in front of a camera but want to be conversational with your audience, I would recommend starting a podcast.
- If you’re comfortable speaking on camera, start a YouTube channel.
We highly recommend thinking about what sounds most fun to you and what your strengths are.
If you choose a medium that DOESN’T fit your communication style, it’s going to be difficult to show up every day.
