If you haven’t heard of SiteGround, you are going to be amazed.  I started off not knowing anything about web hosting or anything.  I was LOST.  I was trying to get a WordPress site transferred over to Siteground and gave up. 

The customer service rep chatted with me for over 2 hours until I had everything taken care of.  They are available 24/7.  No sending emails to someone and hoping for a response. 

They are fantastic. 

I have never had a problem with my site going down or running out of space.  If you aren’t on Siteground you need to get started today 

How to find content that is easy to share

Create a Google Alert.  Google alerts are easy to create and give you tons of relevant, content that is up-to-date and easy to share

• Go to Google Alerts
• Create an alert about something related to your business (piano lessons) 
  • It will populate a list of items that Google would send 
    • If you don’t like them, try to change the wording, if you are only interested in piano lessons include quotation marks ,“” “piano lessons” 
  • Click show options 
    • Choose which ones to send you.  
• Next, you don’t want to clutter your email too much, so when the first alert gets sent, filter the message into a new folder (you can use filter in most email platforms, I use G-mail exclusively 
  • When you get the alert, open the message
  • Next to the arrow where you went reply, forward, etc.. you will see 3 vertical dots, click on them 
    • Click → Filter messages like this → Create Filter  
    • Click 
      • Skip the inbox
      • Apply the label → you can create the folder here if you haven’t done so yet 
      • Also apply filter to XX messages
  • Now, when the email comes to you, it will skip your inbox and be filtered into that folder.  
• Read the alerts and the content.   Many have options to share, share on your social media profile.  Add something to it, tell your reader why they should read it as well. This is an easy way to get post out when you are running out of time.

Final tips to get to you to the finish line

• If you can, connect it to your business.  
• Not everything has to be connected to your business.  People enjoy connecting to you and your personal story 
• Create your own hashtag and use it. 
• Post your company logo or name on the post 
• Find ways to inspire creativity. Look around your environment, home, office, outdoors for ideas. Surround yourself with creativity. Look at these coffee mugs & coffee containers. These are sure to help you when you are stuck. Keep them warm with the coffee warmer.

• Think of how you can expand your market.  If you are a B2B, can you connect to B2C, and vice versa. 
• Think globally.  Do you enjoy a particular culture or enjoy traveling overseas?  Think of how you can incorporate it into your postings. 
• Sign up for Shutterstock’s photo of the week.  You get a free high quality photo each week that you can use. 
• Use your own photos.  While stock photos are great, you start seeing the same ones everywhere.  Add a copyright onto it and then use it.  

• Consider hiring a Freelancer to create your images for you, such as Fiverr.
• Carry a little notebook and a pen/pencil with you everywhere.  I found that I can create little bits of ideas when I don’t’ have to pull out my phone, unlock it, open an app. 
• This 12 pack of notebooks would fit easily in your purse, backpack, case, etc.

• Use other programs, suc
• h as Kartra, to handle more of the time consuming stuff such as checkouts, funnels, campaigns, and building leads.
• Use Trello to help you map our what you plan on posting for the month.
• Consider upgrading to more quality photos such as Adobe Stock Photos.  

• Spy on your competitors.  SEMrush allows you to see which hashtags your competitors are using. This is THE best tool for (look away) spying on your competitors.  You can see what social media programs they are using and use those same hashtags.  You can find out where do they get those coveted black links.  So much more, 7 days free trial is included.  You can finally understand not only where you stand but where your competitors outrank you so you can join them in their elitist club!
