4 Simple Ways to Get More Done as a Blogger

Struggling to keep up with all of the responsibilities involved with blogging? Here are 4 simple ideas to implement:

1. Blog When Most People Are Offline

I’ve done this during many seasons of life — and it’s something I still try to practice today. I’ve found that many more people are online in the mornings, but fewer people are online early in the mornings, early afternoons/later afternoons, in the late evenings, and on Saturdays. So I try to plan my blogging and computer times around when more people are offline.Continue Reading

4 Quick Tips to Make More on Black Friday

Affiliate Sales • Making Money 2 Comments

Black Friday is right around the corner and this is an amazing time of year to promote some of your favorite deals and sales. It’s one of our biggest earning times of the year and I can’t stress enough how fantastic a time of year this is to share deals with your blog readers using referral or affiliate links — especially if they are deals on great Christmas gift ideas!

With this in mind, I wanted to share some quick tips to help you make the most of your Black Friday promotions:

1. Share your personal experience with a product.

Talk about how it has impacted you and why you think others should buy it. Don’t just say: Here’s a sale you should check out.

Nope, tell people exactly how this product is going to make a significant difference in their life. Don’t tell them that they should buy; convince them as to why they should buy it.

Some questions to ask yourself as you write posts/do Facebook Lives & IG stories/put together email newsletters about products:

What problem did this product solve for you?
How did this product meet a need in your life?
How did this product impact you in significant way?
How will people benefit right away from buying this product?

2. Send out an email newsletter about this product/sale.

Blog posts and social media posts can be effective, but they will never hold a candle to how an email in someone’s inbox will convert. Don’t be shy; write and send out emails to your email list. (Be sure to keep this in mind when you write your email newsletters.)

Pay special attention to your subject line — that’s what’s going to convince someone to actually open your email. And then make sure that you write an email newsletter that is both interesting but also compelling.

Maybe start by sharing a story of something personal and then tie in the product to that story. Finally, close with telling people how the product will impact their life (bullet points can work great for this!) and why they should buy this weekend because of great sale.

Be sure to include a clear Buy Now button or Click Here to Buy Now type of live link at the bottom. Make it so easy for them to take advantage of the sale!

3. Talk about the product on a Facebook Live or Instagram Story.

You guys, I know that I sound like a broken record, but live video is where it is at. It’s one of the most effective ways to convert sales — in an incredibly organic and engaging way.

Seriously, you gotta try FB Live and IG stories. I know it’s scary. I know it’s outside your comfort zone. I know that it takes practice. But it really, really works. In fact, oftentimes, live video will beat out or match the conversions we see when we send out email newsletters.

Plus, the more you do it, the easier it gets. For real. (I never, ever thought I’d fall in love with live video. But I have!)

As always, the more you can point people to your own personal experience with a product, the more you can promote the specific benefits of a product, and the more you bring your own unique voice, the more effective your promotion will be.

A few tips for live video: make sure that you are personable (use people’s names if they are leaving comments), have a simple outline, be interesting and overly enthusiastic (it translates to energy on the camera), make your call to action very clear, repeat it multiple times, and use your affiliate link in your teaser text on FB Live and in your bio on Instagram (if you don’t yet have the swipe up feature).

4. Promote the product/sale in multiple ways.

For instance, I’m doing a Black Friday sale and Cyber Monday sale on my products and I will do a multiple blog posts, multiple Facebook Lives, an Instagram post, multiple Instagram stories, plus I’ll send out email newsletters and will post several social media posts in Pinterest and Facebook.

I know that might seem like overkill, but remember that not everyone follows you on every platform, not everyone logs into every platform every day, and most platforms now have algorithms in place so not everyone who follows you on them sees all of your posts. But more than that, what I’ve seen to be so true is that people need to hear about something multiple times before they will decide to actually get up and take action! 🙂

What I Am NOT Saying To Do

Now, I’m not saying that you should post the same photo five times on Facebook. That would be boring and would frustrate people.

What I AM saying is to get creative and come up with multiple ways you can promote the sale — focusing on different aspects of the product, sharing it from different angles, sharing a quote photo that you can weave in a message about the product, sharing a picture you took of the product, sharing a video where you talk about how the product has impacted you, and maybe sharing a post specifically about the sale (this is usually most effective during the last few hours of the sale).

Any time I’m planning to promote a product in earnest on my site/social media, I will sit down and brainstorm ideas for different ways I can promote it, different pictures I can use, different angles I can approach it from, different features I can focus on.

Then, I think about which platform is best for which type of promotion and then I map out a plan for promotion where I write down each idea and what day and what platform I’ll use.

This really helps me so that I’m able to promote the same sale over and over again without frustrating or boring people — and it also helps me to not fall into a creative rut.

So there you have it! My top 4 tips for making more on Black Friday! What tips would you add to my list? I’d love to hear! Hit reply and share them with me!

P.S. I’ll be running a sale on Blog Start-Up 101 and WordPress 101 for Black Friday! Look for a post on Friday with details on those special prices! 🙂

Should I set my WordPress site to automatically update?

Featured Question • WordPress Tutorials 5 Comments

Recently, I received this really great question from one of my students over at Your Blogging University™:

“Should I have my blog and plugins set to automatically update or not? I currently do, but I read something that caused me to question whether that was a good idea. I wondered if sometimes an update could be the cause of my site not loading?” -Josette

Updates can definitely be a cause for confusion when it comes to maintaining your blog. To save time, some bloggers set their updates to automatically run so they don’t have to think about it.

But when it comes to updates, I don’t recommend setting your updates to run automatically. Here’s why:

Sometimes updates can conflict with your site’s settings, your version of WordPress, or other plugins you have installed on your site. When this happens, we always recommend looking at your most recent updates to see if an update to a plugin has caused a conflict.

Having your updates set to run automatically makes it a LOT more difficult to figure out the cause of a particular issue should one arise. Why? Because now you really have no idea if an update was performed and what exactly was updated.

Therefore, updating plugins, themes, and WordPress itself manually one at a time makes it far easier to isolate any issue that might befall your site due to an update.

Note: It’s important to always keep your WordPress site, plugins, and themes up to date to avoid any added security threats that are addressed within the latest provided updates. We do not recommend skipping updates altogether, but we do advocate having more control over when and how your site is updated.

Want more control over your WordPress updates? Check out the Easy Update Manager plugin to make this process easy and hassle free.

Having site troubles after performing updates? Here’s what you should do:

1. Deactivate updated plugins. If you updated a group of plugins, deactivated all of them. Did the issue resolve? If yes, then you know it’s a plugin.

2. Reactivate plugins one at a time, checking each time to see if the issue has returned. This will help you isolate which plugin is causing the issue.

3. Restore previous version of the affected plugin. You can do this by using a plugin such as WP Rollback. You can find that plugin here. Once WP Rollback is installed and activated, you’ll be able to easily roll back your plugins to any previous available version.

You can also use WP Rollback to restore the previous version WordPress or your theme if you discover a plugin is not the culprit.

My 4-Step System to Achieve Inbox Zero Every Day

Blogging Tips • Email Marketing 26 Comments

Overwhelmed by and overflowing email inbox? Here’s my 4-step system to achieve Inbox Zero almost every single day:

1. Unsubscribe Ruthlessly

I regularly examine every single email list I am subscribed to. I ask myself, “Have I found something from this email list to be valuable in the past few months?”

If I realize that I am deleting most of the emails that come into my inbox from a particular list, I unsubscribe. My philosophy: Why waste a few seconds deleting emails that aren’t valuable to me when I could take 5 seconds to unsubscribe and never see an email from that company in my inbox again?

The act of ruthlessly unsubscribing from email lists could save you a good five to 10 minutes of time every single day — or more! That doesn’t seem like too much, until you multiply that out over the course of a week (35 to 70 minutes), a month (150 to 30 minutes), or a year (1,825 to 3,650 minutes). That’s a lot of minutes saved!

Stop the Social Media Insanity!

Please do yourself a favor and unsubscribe from all notifications you possibly can from social media. You can always go look up and see who your new Twitter followers are or who left you a comment on Facebook. You don’t need those notifications interrupting your workflow throughout the day. I promise you will survive just fine without them! 😉

2. Use the Delete Button Liberally

The delete button is your friend. Use it as your secret productivity weapon. If you don’t need an email, just delete it. Right now. There’s no need to leave it sitting in your inbox. Just get rid of it and free up precious space in your inbox.

If you think you might need some of the information on it in the future, then just use the handy-dandy feature on Gmail called “Archive”. This means, it’s deleted from your inbox, but it’s saved in your archives. So if you ever need it in the future, you can search for it and find it.

(You are on Gmail, right? I am convinced is the best productivity email service on the planet! Yes, I may be biased!)

For those of you who currently have 35,000 emails in your inbox, the delete button needs to become your very best friend. Today. To save yourself the extra time and effort, you can also check out Unroll.me.

Save Yourself a Little Time With Send & Archive

Have you added the Google Send & Archive option to your email? This saves you the step of having to send an email and then delete it. Just press Send & Archive and your email is sent and archived. Ta-da!

3. Set Up Filters Fanatically

Maybe you can’t unsubscribe from an email, but you can always filter it — provided you have Gmail. I use filters for affiliate notifications that I can’t turn off, junk email that I can’t subscribe from, and more. (Not sure how to use filters? Here’s how to set up filters in Gmail.)

I also have filters set up for submissions to my site. So if you submit a deal or a guest post, those go in a separate folder that I check when I’m posting deals or reviewing guest posts. This keeps them in an organized place that I can easily access, without taking up real estate in my inbox.

4. Deal With Email Immediately

I saved this suggestion for last, because this is truly what makes such a difference for my inbox. As much as is possible, I try to answer the emails as soon as I read them — especially if I can do it in less than a minute (which are most emails for me).

Usually, there are a few emails that will require longer answers or that I will need to do some research or put some thought into answering. In that case, I’ll file those few to answer later when I have a longer time-slot to deal with them.

I have two folders I use for filing email — one for emails that need to be answered in the next day, one for emails that require a longer answer or more time but don’t need to be answered right away. I have a time slot every day when I deal with the first folder and then a time slot on the weekends (or Friday) when I deal with the second folder.

How I Process Emails Every Day

A. Check Email

B. Immediately Delete Any Emails That Don’t Require Opening or Answering (such as someone just responding with a one-sentence confirmation)

C. Unsubscribe From Any Subscription That Has Still Made It Into My Inbox (that I don’t want to be receiving!)

D. Open and Deal With All Emails

Respond to those requiring only a few-sentence response first.

File emails that need to be filed and forward on any emails that need to be forwarded on (to others on my team, etc.)

If time, respond to as many emails as possible that require a lengthier response. Oftentimes, I find that it doesn’t take me at all as long as I think it will if I just dive in and start writing!

E. Never Allow There to Be Any More Than Four Emails In My Inbox <— This has been key for me. If there are more than four, it means that I highly prioritize email answering above other computer work.

5 Strategies to Get Started as a Social Media Rockstar

Social Media 20 Comments

I believe that being strategic on social media is one of the best ways to grow your blog, your income, and your online presence. And in this current online climate, having a social media presence is a vital piece of your blogging success.

It’s hard to remember what it was like without social media, however, when I first started blogging around 13 years ago, social media wasn’t even a thing. Can you believe that??

I remember when Pages first came out on Facebook, and my husband encouraged me to set one up for my blog. I was skeptical of using that platform for my blog, because I didn’t really know other bloggers using it and it seemed weird and self-serving. Plus, I didn’t think it would even work.

But I’m so glad that I listened to my husband, because my Facebook Page took off quickly and ended up being one of our largest referral sources for the blog for years and years. In addition to Facebook, we also now have active profiles on Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.

So many people ask me how to be successful on social media and I wanted to share a few of my tips for getting started:

1. Start Slowly

Managing a lot of social media profiles for a blog can quickly become overwhelming. Instead of trying to start learning them all at once, I recommend keeping it simple.

Pace yourself — especially in the beginning — and choose to only post on one social media. I know it feels like doing so would go against all the “rules”, but I think it’s so much better to start slowly and do a really fantastic job on one social media platform, than to try to do all the social media platforms and do a poor job of all of them and feel constantly overwhelmed.

(I DO recommend setting up profiles from the get-go so that you go ahead and get your names held on each of the social media platforms for if and when you decide to use them. I didn’t do this on a few of the social media platforms with MoneySavingMom.com and I’ve forever regretted it when someone else snatched up my name before I did!)

2. Choose Wisely

Which social media platform should you start with? Well, I’d recommend choosing one of the top 4 social media platforms to begin with: Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter.

The only exception I would make to this would be if you already have a strong social media presence built somewhere else (such as YouTube). If that’s the case, start where you already have a platform built and then build from there.

I’d ask yourself two questions when deciding which platform to start with: 1) Where would my ideal audience hang out? 2) What platform do I feel the most comfortable with?

Even though your ideal audience might hang out more on Facebook than on Instagram, if you feel most comfortable with Instagram and you know that some of your audience is there, I’d start where you feel most comfortable. Why? Because it will make it easier to start and get going. 🙂

3. Build Gradually

Once you have started posting on one social media platform and you feel really comfortable with posting there, if you have the margin and capacity to do so, it’s time to consider adding another social media platform to the mix.

Take your time when adding new social media platforms. Really invest some energy into paying attention to which platform makes the most sense for your blog and learning what you think would work.

I encourage you to look at other bloggers in your niche and see where they are focusing the majority of their energy. See what type of engagement they are receiving on their posts to get an idea of where your ideal audience would hang out and where your posts would do the best.

Then, develop a simple game plan for how you will post on that new social media platform and what you’ll do to learn more about the platform itself (take a course, follow 30 people who are successful and watch what they are doing, read a book on it, etc.).

4. Track Religiously

Install Google Analytics on your site and really start tracking what is working and what is not working. Look at which posts are bringing in the most traffic. Also, look at which posts aren’t bringing in traffic.

In addition, watch your shares and engagement on social media for your individual posts. Which types of posts do best? Which ones seem to be duds? Why is that?

5. Experiment Regularly

As you track what is working, also challenge yourself to try a few new things. Maybe change up the way you post or when you post or what types of posts you’re sharing or how often you post. Try your hand at video on Instagram or Facebook. Get brave and experiment with new things.

Also, be on the lookout for new things that others are doing that are working well for them. Don’t copy others, but learn from their failures and successes and find ways to implement what you learn into experiments on your own social media platforms.

Don’t ever get stuck in a rut… because that’s a surefire way to kill your online momentum.

A Final Word of Advice

There are so many, many things you can do with social media. But remember this: There’s no way you can do it all.

Set boundaries for how much time you can invest into social media. These boundaries will motivate you to make the best use of your time instead of getting sucked in the vortex of social media land with nothing to show for your time!

There are a lot of very smart people out there who will tell you that you must do all of these things to be successful. I disagree. Those things are probably great things, but it’s better for you to pick a few priorities, focus on those, and do the best you can with the time you have.

How to Use Trello as an Editorial Calendar

Blogging Tips • WordPress Tutorials 15 Comments

Have you heard the term “editorial calendar” and wondered what it meant? Or have you always wanted to set one up but you just needed someone to show you how? Or maybe you are feeling overwhelmed with trying to stay organized and have quality, fresh content as a blogger? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I think you’ll find today’s guest post incredibly helpful! -Crystal

Guest post by Tracy Kulwicki at Working Moms Balance

Creating consistent content for your blog is really important, but it can also feel like you’re on a hamster wheel, never able to keep up. You come up with a few great ideas in a row and get them written and published while you’re feeling inspired.

Then suddenly, it’s as if the well has gone dry. It’s the morning of your regularly scheduled posting day, and you’ve got nothing but a blank screen staring at you.

This is why having a plan, also known as an editorial or content calendar, is vital to your success — or at least a less-stressed version of success.

I’ve tried so many different options for creating an editorial calendar including, a simple paper and pen, an Excel spreadsheet, a WordPress Plugin, Google Calendar, and I’ve finally settled on using Trello. And it has been the perfect solution.

What is Trello?

Trello is a project management application that can help you organize and manage a variety of different projects. You can access Trello online through their web application or desktop application.

They also have a very handy mobile app (iPhone and Google Play) to help you manage your projects on the go. Best of all, Trello is completely free for all the features you need for creating an Editorial Calendar.

Through the use of lists, cards, boards, labels, and even handy collaboration tools you can create a very organized plan for the content creation on your blog. Trello also includes a Calendar “power up” feature that makes it a perfect option for creating an Editorial Calendar.

How does Trello work?

Within Trello you will be able to create a number of boards. Boards are essentially created for each project or master category you want to organize through Trello. Besides my Editorial Calendar board, I have a board for product and freebie ideas that I’m brainstorming and working on, as well as a board that helped me create and manage a recent email challenge that I ran on my blog.

Within each board, you will create a number of lists. Lists are the various categories that you want to create for your project, you might think of lists as the stages of the project. Each list will house the cards that are currently in that stage of the project.

Within each card, you can include a description, images, attachments, assign dates and collaborators, labels, comments, and more. You will then be able to drag and drop your cards as they progress through your stages (the lists).

I’ll walk you through how I personally have my Editorial Calendar board setup so you can see how this process works.

How to Use Trello as an Editorial Calendar

Lists

Once you have your Editorial Calendar board setup in Trello you will want to start creating your lists. You do this by clicking “Add a list” and typing the names you want. Again, these are most likely going to be the various stages that your post will go through from initial idea to published post.

Here are the lists that I have on my editorial calendar:

Fresh Ideas (where I put every blog post idea I come up with during brainstorming sessions)
Newsletter Ideas (my newsletters include some kind of weekly health-related challenge so this is where I keep track of my challenge topic ideas)
Scheduled
Draft Started
Published

All of my cards begin in either the Fresh Ideas or the Newsletter Ideas list. I’ll usually set aside time at least once a month to brainstorm content ideas for all of the categories on my blog. I use pen and paper for the initial brainstorm and then create a card in Trello for each idea I come up with. I’ll talk more about setting up the cards shortly.

Every month or two I will browse through my ideas lists to decide what topics I want to cover in the upcoming weeks and months. I’ll then pull those cards from the ideas lists to the scheduled list.

Once I begin an outline or a draft of a post, the card moves to the Draft Started list. I try to have at least a couple posts in progress at all times so I’m not always scrambling at the last minute. And finally, when the post is complete and either scheduled or published I’ll move the card to the Published List where it will rest forever.

Cards

Cards can hold a lot of information. When I first create a card I will type my initial brainstormed idea as the title of the card. Generally, this is just a working idea and will not be the final title of my post.

I also immediately add labels for each new card. I use the labels to identify which of my various blog categories and subcategories the post will fall under. I try to rotate through my blog categories throughout the month, so adding the labels from the beginning helps me to visually verify that I’m covering each blog category on a consistent basis.

If I have additional ideas or thoughts I want to make sure to include in the post I will add those in the description section of the card.

Calendar

Once I move the post to the Scheduled List I add a due date. This places the card on the calendar. You will need to add the calendar feature to your Trello board. The calendar is an optional “Power Up” feature you will find in the main menu. (You get one “Power Up” per board on the free plan). Once the calendar is added you will see a little button toward the top right of your screen that will toggle you to the calendar view.

Within the calendar view, you will be able to access any card, on any list that has a due date assigned. You can drag and drop the cards to different dates in the calendar view and it will change the due date on the card.

You can also add your Trello Calendar to your Google Calendar if you like to see everything in one place. In the “Power Ups” section of the Trello menu, you will see a gear appear after you have enabled the Calendar “Power Up”. Clicking on this gear will allow you to enable the iCalendar feature.

Once you’ve enabled this feature, Trello will add a link to your calendar feed. You then add this link to the “Other Calendars” section in your Google Calendar by choosing “Add by URL” and pasting the link. You will not be able to make edits to your cards from Google Calendar, but clicking on the calendar items will provide you with a link to your Trello card where you can make changes from there.

Checklists

Because I work a full-time job and work on my blog in my spare time, I don’t usually get a several hour block of time to create a blog post from start to finish all in one sitting. I learned that I need a system to help me keep track of where each post is in the creation process so that nothing is missed.

Trello has an incredibly handy Checklist option where I have created two checklists that I can add to each of my cards. As I work on the post I can check off the items I’ve completed to better keep track of where I am in the creation process.

Once you create a checklist on a card, Trello saves that checklist and allows you to copy the items from your checklist to a new card. This way you don’t have to keep creating the same checklist for each card. When I move the card into the Draft list I add my saved checklists to the card to keep track of my progress.

When you add a checklist you will see a counter on the card in the main list view so you can easily see how close each post is to completion according to the steps on your checklist.

Attachments and Other Features

There are additional items that can be included in each card depending on how you create your post. You can add members if you have a team you collaborate with to create your cards. There is also the ability to add comments to a card if your team members want to discuss their progress or issues.

Another handy feature on the cards is the option for adding attachments. You can attach a Google Drive, DropBox, or OneDrive link or add an attachment from your computer to each card if you want to have your post draft or images easily accessible from within Trello.

There are so many awesome features with Trello that it might seem a little overwhelming at first, but once you get started you will love how organized and put together you will feel. Using Trello has helped me to finally create a posting plan that works and makes sense for my busy life. I hope it works for you too.
