There’s a way to set yourself apart online. Whether it’s for attention, to make money, or just to have fun. It’s possible. You can set yourself apart online if you put just a little bit of effort in. Make sure you have a well rounded web presence. If you have a well rounded web presence, I think the next decade will be pretty easy for you. Otherwise, things are going to be pretty tough. Here’s why, along with what you can do to curate a good web presence.
Most people are lazy
This makes sense. A lot of people don’t fully make their money from social media yet, or they make their money some which doesn’t yet force them to be findable on the public internet. So while most people care about their digital footprint, it’s not to the same extent that you should as an online business owner. 5-6 well curated social media accounts probably puts you in the “top” 1% of adults worldwide when it comes tot caring about social media. Most people don’t care and caring makes you different. A lot of people work for the government This puts them in a precarious position. They can’t have much of a web presence beyond what’s required for their career. Even if they do have a presence, it’s a liability. You set yourself apart from them simply by existing.
Have your own website
Even if all it is is an About page and a few affiliate links, having your own website is the key. This is where you ration traffic and turn it into money. You also own your own site. This gives you power over the content on that site. If you don’t have power over the final content and mechanism of payment, you don’t have an asset. If you want to make visual art, don’t become a YouTuber. It’s just not a real business model.
Get on Pinterest
Pinterest is the only site designed for you to get published online and send people directly to your site. You should take advantage of it for as long as it exists and sends traffic, no matter how saturated it gets. Make pins of your blog post or merchandise so you can get attention without spending money.Make YouTube VideosLong form YouTube videos seem to be doing well, and they seem incredibly unlikely to go out of style in the medium term. They might get easier to make, but they still take some time and effort to create. There is a barrier for entry. In conjuction with other elements, and established YouTube channel can do a lot to bring traffic and revenue to your brand. Make short videosThe beauty of short videos is that you can repost them everywhere. A single.short video can go viral on 6-7 platforms at the same time, with a bit of knowledge and luck. If you create intelligent content and post on a couple of platforms, the casino effect goes away. Over time, you will have a real business, and your conversions will be a matter of statistics rather than virality. Meaning you can create a marketing apartus for a company based on short video alone.
Post on popular forums
It seems to me as though the world of forums is consolidating. The most popular forums seem to be getting larger while smaller ones are falling into disrepair. Still, the large ones are good for SEO. Become an active participant and profit. People will interact if you make sense.
Solve a high value set of problems on your website
The more perceived value you give, the more money you make from each visit to your site. This means that solving bigger problems allows you to avoid creating content. The higher value the nature of your overall site, the less attention you need to pay to the other details. It’s way easier to create a passive income machine why you focus on value rather than generalized consumption levels, at least in the world of info products. All ads should capture emails
Don’t waste your money buying ads unless you’re going to take people’s contact information. You want to pay for some form of equity, not just an opportunity to be seen. Master landing pages, getting people’s contact information, and email markekting. These skills will become invaluable with time. If you have a good organic presence, you don’t need to spend money to get attention, make friends, or acquire customers.
Maintain your brand’s organic presence
Honestly, create an organic presence before you build a brand. A solid organic web presence experienced by people who like you is a surefire way to win in today’s day and age.
If you want to become financially free, cultivate a strong web presence. Guaranteed web traffic in today’s world is one of the best and most reliable ways to get money. Cultivate it, provide a good service, and be a good person and you should prosper.
Thanks for paying attention.
