I'm a Steemit Newbie, but a YouTube Veteran
Hi everyone! Today marks only my 9th day on the Steemit platform. What then, you might be asking yourself, do I have to offer in teaching anyone how to improve their Steemit blog? A couple years ago, based on marketing principles that I believe to be universal, I worked to grow my YouTube channel from about 500 subscribers (at the time,) to over 22,000 subscribers.
Speaking of which, I owe a significant amount thanks to Tim Schmoyer of the VideoCreators channel for helping me out through his content and consultation calls. I've noticed that a lot of the techniques I used to grow on YouTube are absolutely applicable on this platform and I have yet to find a single post (or a series of posts) that contain all the information that I would like to present. This is the reason for this series!
What I'll be covering
Each day, for 7 days, I'll make a post detailing specific & actionable change you can make to your blog in order to increase the chances of it being more successful. I'll also briefly write about the marketing theory behind the changes and - when applicable - provide links to the articles, books, and videos where I first learned the information.
Here's a sneak peak of what's on the agenda.
* Identifying Your Target Audience - Who reads your blog? What do they like? What do they dislike? What are their wants, needs, and desires?
* Designing a Value Proposition - What do you have to offer your readers and how is it reflected in your content and aligned with your target audience?
* Blog Design - How to utilize all the available features in Steemit (like the cover image and the about section to communicate the value you have to offer to a first time visitor.
* Content Creation - How can a post be designed to increase the chances of it being read and shared?
* Community - The Steemit community is incredibly similar to what the YouTube community was like 10 years ago, and genuinely engaging & serving the community is a must for circulating your content.
* And More :)
I'll be blogging every day, for the next 7 days. So Stay Tuned!
