The Tangled Web That’s Weaved
All of us bloggers share one thing in common, we’re out to make our web space not only the best destination possible, but to make it something that droves of people will come and experience day in and day out, leading us to make lots of money via ad revenue, increased Instagram followers, and tons of paid promotion along the way, but there are methods to that madness we want to achieve, Wednesday’s edition of “Asking For A Friend” with Lauren Conrad shares the experience of Rachel Rosenbloom and Ilana Saul, who run LaurenConrad.com and the rest of Lauren’s websites, on creating a web space everyone will come to.
Rachel and Ilana of Polka Dot Media stress first that you must create a blog business for all the right reasons, don’t do it for the money, don’t do it to get free stuff, don’t do it for the fame, and don’t copy anybody else, you must make it your own by being original, doing something that the market place hasn’t seen or done before.
A few things to remember about social media like Instagram are post at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. your time (according to where you’re audience is focused), push yourself on Pinterest, only link up with affiliates and brands that you truly believe in, seek as much help as possible with your blog for better success, take good pictures, and find places like WordPress that make building a website easier.
Lauren Conrad and the LC.com team continued Wednesday with 5 tips to start a website, blog, or social accounts determining first if you want your web presence to be personal or business, create a style of your own that you want to brand, secure social handles to protect your brand from others claiming it later on, post consistently on all platforms to keep and gain presence where you go as far as planning timely post with Planoly, and engage with those that follow you on all your web and social media platforms where it can lead to all kinds of opportunities now and later on.
