Care to Share? What Was YOUR Most Popular Post of 2014?

Posted: 21 Dec 2014 06:50 AM PST

Share your most popular posts of 2104

So last week we went right through the top five posts on ProBlogger 2014 in each of the categories of monetization, creating content, social media, writing, and general tips. Some of them were surprising, but most weren’t – good advice is good advice, after all! I know a lot of you have seen real results from making these changes to the way you work.

So what we wanted to know was – what is the most popular post on your blog this year? Can you see why it was popular? And more importantly – what can you learn from it that will help you for your content next year? Is it a topic you can find a new angle on? Something you can update for your readers? Something you can turn into a series, an eBook, an eCourse? Is it a topic you enjoyed writing about? Is there a way you can repackage it, say as an audio file or a slideshare? The possibilities are endless, and having information you know your readers already resonate with is a great place to start.

So link up your most popular post in the comments and share it with the ProBlogger community. If you read one you love, tweet it to your friends and followers. I can’t wait to see all the different genres everyone covers.

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 06:14 AM PST

Setting up your company and going through the process of branding it may seem like a difficult thing to do for people from all around the world, but the truth that is once you get the hang of it, branding with the use of social media can turn out to be quite easy to handle from all the points of view.

With that being said, there are a couple of mistakes to avoid, but also tips that must be followed in order to ensure that the branding of a business with social media goes according to plan. Without further ado, here's how to use social media for branding:

1. Manage your reputation and listen

One thing is clear: Once you decide to put your business on the Internet and to promote it to other people, most of them will begin to think and to talk about your business. This is exactly the case when it comes down to social media, as users will go ahead and discuss more about your services on the social media platform that you chose, but also give advice and express their concerns in order to make sure that you are able to improve your business. Once this happens, an essential aspect of branding is to listen and to take action, as keeping your customers and possible customers satisfied is indispensable.

2. Creating a community

As mentioned earlier, on social media, people will inevitably come by your profile page. Once this is done and you gain a larger number of followers, it is important to come up with a plan that will keep everyone engage and make you shine as a brand. With this factor in mind, you must find a way to activate your fans, thus giving them something to do, through ideas like apps, quick quizzes, events and so on.

3. Network on social media

Unlike other areas of the Internet, most social media platforms that are available at this moment are great when it comes down to allowing a business owner to connect with another. By doing so, new partnerships and connections can be created between businesses and service providers, most of them which can actually turn out to be of great help. With this being said, it is important to hunt for those who are working in a similar niche as you are and discuss strategies and potential partnerships, as a business with connections is a strong brand.

By keeping all of the aspects related to branding your business through social media marketing, not only will you be able to quickly attain a number of followers, but you'll also make sure that they are there to stay and that they are engaged, thus providing you with a pool of clients that will see you as a brand and continue purchasing whatever services that you may be currently offering. Develop relationships, keep your users engaged, while also making sure to listen to all a potential customer has got to say, in order to be able to serve well and to gain all of the benefits of successful social media branding.
