How to Get Your Business Seen Without Using Social Media

Darlene Hawley

I truly see how social media is a great way to nurture your prospects and clients. It's not the “bee all tell all” I always thought it was for growing your business.

Spend hours a day on social media creating daily content, go into all of the FB groups...  I know, I know.

Most people you see are telling you to use social media to grow your business. Shoot even I would have told you that it was a great way to grow your business just 4 months ago.

Now that I have no access to Facebook and Instagram, (thanks hackers) I truly see how social media is a great way to nurture your prospects and clients. It's not the “bee all tell all” I always thought it was for growing your business. 


Here’s what I’ve learned since I changed my marketing game:


1.  You need an email list. Email marketing is still king and it’s definitely not dead.


2. SEO. It’s the best place to find cold leads and bring them into your community so that you can nurture them. Here are my favorite three ways to use SEO in my business.


 

 


   

   

  • Blogging allows you to get found on Google and Keywords are your best friends.
  • Pinterest has so much potential.
  • YouTube/Video
  • Podcasting
  • Features- Guest Posting

 

   

 

 

 



3. Now that you’ve got all of these new leads it’s time to nurture them. Send an email each week. Create a nurture sequence to warm them up. Send personal emails. Offer masterclasses. Create challenges. Add a ton of value so that when they’re ready they come to you.
