Commit to Consistency to Get Results from Social Media

In my prior post I addressed the issue of blogging with purpose as a first step to getting started with Social Media and networking online.  I share this with you in the context of leveraging the Internet to build your brand, traffic to your site or blog, and converting this traffic to generate more leads and new customers for your business.

Assuming you buy into my suggestion that you set up a blog with these ideas in mind, it’s essential to commit to being consistent with your blogging and other activities related to social networking.  Why is this so important?  Because with a consistent effort blogging and letting your network know what’s going on with your blogging (micro blogging, email marketing, etc.)  you can develop some loyal followers and achieve your goals.

The foundation of your blogging effort should not be selling in most cases.  It should be educating your readers about what matters most to them.  This means you must be consistent in order to keep readers coming back and spreading the word about what you are writing and what you stand for as a business or person.

Consistency in terms of regularly adding content is essential.  It is also important to be consistent in terms of the content you are adding for your readers or audience.  For example, I probably wouldn’t be helping the WealthNet community and it’s regular visitors if I were to shift gears and start writing about organic gardening.  First, I don’t garden.  More importantly, WealthNet Partners is about creating wealth through entrepreneurship and business development.

Start with what matters most to you when it comes to content.  Be passionate about your subject and it makes it a heck of a lot easier to write on a consistent basis.  And start with a frequency that you can maintain, even if it’s only once a week.  This will give your readers ample reason to check back with you and visit your website or blog.

In subsequent posts I will help you understand how to find your voice, how to be relevant when you add content, and other factors that will make your Social Media and online networking efforts successful.

How often do commit to adding content to your blog?  What’s working well for you and how do you feel about your results?  Ask us questions and please share your comments.
