The key to creating content that will be valuable to your perfect customer

In my next blog I aim to answer a question that came in from a local business owner, Laura, who wants to know what type of content she should be posting to enhance engagement from her target audience. 

“I’ve read everywhere that I should publish content that is valuable for my target audience. But it seems that what is valuable to my target audience is not really connected with services offered by my company. So, what should I publish on the company’s page?” – Says Laura, a start-up business owner.

The Key to an Entrepreneur’s Mindset

I recently got asked what the mindset of a successful entrepreneur is.

I feel humbled to have been asked this question, however, whilst I do have an element of success and I have a number of businesses that are performing quite well, for me, this is just the beginning. And perhaps a lot of the successful entreprenures of this world feel the same,  they may not see themselves as being overly successful either, in that it’s a journey, not a destination.

Are you using brand ambassadors to build your brand and online presence?

Back in my corporate days, finding somebody famous or who had attention of an audience, to become your ambassador was quite an expensive exercise, and it still can be depending on who it is. But what I love about ambassadors and social media in particular is that now it can be a relatively cost effective strategy to implement for your brand.

Micro Influencers, Marketing of the Future

I am writing my next blog to outline what a micro influencer is, and how you can activate them for the benefit of your business.

We live in a world of social media, and there are many ways to use this to our advantage, such as the plethora of ‘Insta-famous’, micro influencers.

So, what is a micro influencer you might ask? For me, I define a micro influencer as somebody who has influence over a direct network of people, say on their various social media platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest and Facebook. Now, focusing on the amount of followers these people have can be one way at determining if they are an influencer, but paying careful attention to the actual people following them is key. Because these are the people who you want as you clients or customers. So, the aim here is to get the mico influencer to ‘seed’ or ‘plug’ your product in the hope that their audience will follow and purchase such products.

This question came about because he wanted to know if Instagram is enough to be gaining attention from potential sponsors, or whether he should create a website with a blog and generate attention this way.

And it’s a great question because when it comes to personal brands and when it comes to leveraging that personal brand for sponsorship and understanding where and how to play is so important. I would recommend that the first thing you do is to put yourself in the eyes of the potential sponsors. So, I would like to start by touching on this from the perspective of the potential sponsor.
