There’s nothing worse than spending time and energy writing on your blog and not reaching the very people who need your help, the ones who have the problems you solve.
I take that back, there is one thing worse, and that’s NOT to write your message at all. At least when you publish on a blog, you put it out there on the world-wide bulletin board. Eventually someone will see it, and if you do a few things right, many will see it.
In my ongoing traffic survey, www.surveymonkey.com/s/getmoreblogtraffic, more than 80% respond that they don’t have enough readers to their blog, and more than half report they’re not sure how to attract their ideal clients.
If you haven’t taken the survey yet, please do so now. I’d like to find out what your challenges are with driving traffic to your blog. Read more
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 Webinar: How to Do Surveys to Attract, Sell, & Profit
One of the challenges with coach and consultant websites and blogs is capturing the attention, engagement and email addresses of visitors. Offering a survey or a quiz is a great way to do so, but it’s not easy to write one that is effective.
A good survey can do several things for you:
- Gather information about your visitors
- Find out more about what they need and want
- Get their opinions, ideas, feedback
- Get social proof & testimonials
- Gauge how much they know, where the gaps are
- Hold their attention long enough for them to remember you
- Make them think (i.e. get them involved and engaged with you)
Here’s another crucial piece of information you’ll need to be aware of: new FTC rulings making many of us afraid that we can’t get the proof we need to bring new clients in and keep the clients we have.
If you’re not sure what the FTC rulings mean for you and your marketing, and want to learn more about surveys and quizzes, don’t miss the Webinar I’m leading with Jeanne Hurlbert, Ph.D., MySurveyExpert.com.
