There is value in increased web traffic and brand reputation from being more frequent and consistent with business blogging. But achieving a multiple times per week business blogging schedule can be a challenge when an organization does not have enough people to handle everything it needs to get done.
In those cases, it is beneficial to consider easy ways to enhance your social media productivity by taking advantage of normal business activities to create one more easy post weekly.
Seven Ways to Enhance Your Business Blogging and Social Media Productivity
A key to improving your social media productivity with business blogging is to tie the extra weekly blog posts to typical weekly business activities you (or your organization) are doing any way. Here are seven ways to take advantage of your:
- Online Reading – Create a compilation blog post featuring links to valuable articles you read in the past week.
- Tweeting – Put together a post with ten of your most pithy tweets (or use Facebook or Google+ status updates instead).
- Customer Service Calls – Feature a customer service question of the week along with the answer.
- Email Inbox – Summarize the most intriguing upcoming webinars and conferences related to your industry that you’ve been invited to this week.
- Web Analytics – Create a compilation post listing previous blog posts receiving the most recent visits related to specific keywords of interest.
- Sales Calls – By using a three- or five-question set of guest blog interview questions, feature a written or video interview with a client or business partner of interest to your readers.
- Business Conversations – Share insights and industry commentary from discussions you’ve had with business associates and clients.
Through these ideas, it is possible to create an easy one or two additional blog posts weekly. If you’re better with video or images than writing, there are even more possibilities. This boost to your social media productivity can move our business blogging from one post weekly to a consistent multiple times per week blogging frequency. - Mike Brown
