How to Finds New, Fans, Funny, Engagement Blogging Topics ?

How to Finds New, Fans, Funny, Engagement  Blogging Topics ?

I find running them manually works best for boosting engagement (e.g. ... Statistics or data: Share new, relevant industry statistics (these perform ...If you’res likes most of us, sometimes you get stuck. No matter how
Engagement  Blogging Topics

hard you try you can’t think of what to write that will interest your

blogging network.
The problem is that we can’t just write about whats we want, right? We

have to write topics that are geared towards our audience. So, when

I’ve hit a dead end, I like tos:
Look on social media
I’m sure that you’ve read lots of advice about how to figure out what

went viral and use it in your business. Well, don’t do that.

Seriouslys, stop blogging what everyone else is blogging.
Instead, I want you to spin the ideas you see on social media

differently than you are currently seeing them. If someone wrote an

article titled, The 10 Bests of something, go ahead and write, The 10

Worst of the same thing. If you see that a friends is asking a

question, answer the question … in a blog.
If their question is: Where should I take my family for a beach

vacation?
The blog will be: 3 Best Beaches for Kids (That Won’t Break the Banks)
Here’s an extra tip: Throw your post into the comment section after

you’re done. You’ll get to piggy-back on their following but in a

meaningful way that shouldn’t get you the stink eye from social media

moderators.
Ask for ideas from your audience
Companies sometimes forget one major thing about mining for new

content; You can ask your people what they want to read from you. I

recently read a true-story adventure book by an author who never once

mentioned her personal life.
She popped in references to Whole Foods and Gucci shoes, but I’ll be

darned if after 300 pages I knew if she had a boyfriend at home or not

… or a cat, for that matter.
You can also ask your contractorss, vendors, employees and other

associates to give you three topics each. Title a mass email: “Blog

Help, Please” and let your team give you advice.
Have a good following? Send out a Survey Monkey questionnaire. Phrase

every question in a way that makes it necessary to give solid answers.

So, if you’re a travel agency, mining for new beach content:
Where is your favorite beach?
How many days are ideal for a beach vacation?
What three things make a good beachs?
Turn the answers into a research based blog topic that will be

completely unique to you – a hugely shareable feature of blogs, by the

way – such as: “Wow! 300 People Said This Was Their Best Beach

Destination.”
Take pictures to inspire yous Oncse upon a time, long long ago when

being a professional copywriter was just a twinkle in my 20-something

year old eye, I had to write for a sign company blog. Bleh.
And it was brutal to get some of those SEO keywords into the blog. I

learned one little trick that helped me rank some of the top blogs in

the company; I started to use pictures.
When you see anything at all related to your field sin action, snap a

picture with your phone. I was able to show my audience a rusted

channel letter (and hows to fix it or call a sign service to fix it)

as well as exactly how grocery stores were using floor graphics.
The bonus is that you own the photoss. Plus you probably won’t find

any images specific to those topics online. It makes it easy to

discuss whats you need to without any fear that you won’t be offering

a fun, funny, cool Engagement topic.

When it comes to business, social networks are an amazing communication tool. They connect new relationships and re-kindle the old. They facilitate conversation, help organize events, and spread information. They can even be a great place to promote your business… when you do it correctly!
How to FAIL at Network Marketing on Social Media
How to FAIL at Network Marketing on Social Media

If you’re active on a social network, such as Facebook, you may know a person who uses it to SPAM their business promotions. They push their products, invite you to countless events, pretend to be genuine, and simply plug your feed with endless promotional JUNK until you’re compelled to unfollow or defriend them.

Because some of our article writers are involved with affiliate or network marketing, we want to share some insight on the best practices.

So, how do you know when your social network promotion is pushing the limit? Easy.

Here are 3 people you DON’T want to become.


The “Get Rich Quick” Girl – This young lady joined a network marketing business because she wanted to be a stay at home mom and make quick, easy money while doing it. She doesn’t have business experience, but her brand ambassador assured her it would be simple. She primarily uses Facebook to promote her products, and her posts sound more like a PLEA than a quality pitch. A supportive friend asked for product information and she simply led them to a website to answer their questions. She mysteriously stopped selling after 6 months.

Lesson: Network marketing isn’t a “get rich quick” solution. It requires tons of dedication and hard work. If you’re going to sell a product, know your product! Compare it to a person who goes to work, but doesn’t know how to do their job. They won’t have a paycheck for long!

The Cult Recruiter – This person knows they need to get others on board in order to succeed. He spends hours sending messages to everybody on his friend lists. He tags people in all of his posts about the product. Slowly you start seeing more people you know joining his “cult.” He continues to push the “cool factor” and makes it seem like everybody is joining. Ultimately, he dedicates too much time to recruiting his clique and everything falls apart because the product was a failure. He loses friends in the process.

Lesson: Don’t be a bully. Be sure people join for the right reasons. Running a network marketing business shouldn’t be something you lose friends over because of the false promises you made. Make sure you BELIEVE in your product!

Miss Insincere – She fills your news feed with product testimonials that were copied from others in her network marketing circle. She posts terrible quality graphics and photographs that she found in an image search of her company name. Her posts are obnoxiously long and you wonder: Does anybody actually read all of this?

Lesson: Be genuine in your Facebook posting. People will know if you took the time to compose the post. They will know if you simply plugged in images from others in your niche. Don’t write a novel. Do be short, sweet and sincere.

To Recap Our Points:

1. Be dedicated and ready to work hard.
2. Know your product inside and out.
3. BELIEVE in your product.
4. Don’t make false promises to recruit others.
5. Be genuine in your efforts.
6. Don’t SPAM your social circle.

Follow these principles and you’re on the right track to build a successful affiliate or a network marketing business for the right reasons!
