I’m Nicole Dean and I’m a friend of Loretta’s – as you can see in the picture to the left. That’s us! She’s in the chair and I’m next to her in the pinkish shirt with the shiny head.

I’m here this week as a Guest Expert helping you to make blogging more fun and profitable by outsourcing the pieces that you don’t enjoy. Today’s my last day already. Can you believe it?

So far we’ve talked about:

Today, we’ll wrap it all up by talking about outsourcing your blog marketing.

All of the issues that we’ve discussed up until now are all well and good, but they won’t make you any money until you have traffic (actual people — with wallets) who are reading your blog, right?

Here is where the rubber meets the road. You’ve gotta, gotta, gotta market your online business if you wish to profit. Well, I take that back. Someone has to market your business if you want to make money from it — but it doesn’t have to be you.

One of the best ways to get web traffic is by sharing content in some format. Choose whichever you’re most comfortable with – writing, talking, or recording video and start producing your content. Then, hire someone to get it as far away from your OWN computer as possible — onto other websites all over the web.

  • If you’re writing articles, hire someone to submit them to the article directories and to interested publishers.
  • If you’re recording audios, get a podcast on BlogTalkRadio, or offer the audios as part of PLR packages or giveaways.
  • If you’re recording videos, make sure they’re posted on every video site that wants them.

Spread it all over the net.

Of course, you can also have a helper who schedules interviews for you on other people’s podcasts or telesminars. My wonderful Executive Assistant (I think that’s her title of the week…) filters interview requests and schedules the ones that are a good fit for me into my Google Calendar during my available times. That ensures that I don’t miss any great opportunities and that I always know what’s up as far as promoting my stuff. She knows that I’ll only schedule one thing per day, so I don’t run out of steam and she’s a lifesaver. You can have someone help with your calendar and exposure as well.

Now, I could get into any number of other ideas here – hiring SEO talent, getting press releases written, having your business cards designed and printed — of course other people can be hired to do all of that and more. But, I’ve only got one little blog post to wrap this up in.

So, let’s talk about my favorite topic – Repurposing.

Have your Virtual Assistant take your hottest blog posts and turn them into pdfs that you can distribute all over the web, to your lists, and to joint venture partners. You can also get those pdfs into giveaway events, offer them as bonuses for other people’s products and a million other things. (Yes, I do all of these and more.)

Your blog is just one part of the big picture and potential online. If you’re having so much fun blogging that you’re not doing any marketing, then find a Virtual Assistant to give you a hand. It’ll certainly boost your exposure and therefore, your profits.

I hope I’ve given you some ideas this week. If you like what I have to say here, I teach a course called Outsource Weekly that teaches you how to outsource effectively. Check it out by clicking on the banner below.

That’s it for me, guys. Thanks for reading and for commenting.

Warmly,
Nicole Dean

  1. Thank you for stopping by on your blog tour, Nicole! As always I’ve learned a lot and you’ve got my head buzzing full of ideas on how I can make my blogging life easier and better!

  2. A great site that will save you a ton of times with videos is Tube Mogul. I highly recommend it even if you are the assistant or the blogger who is using it.

  6. New resource on the subject: Outsourcing Through Rentacoder. Shows *how* to outsource through the site before making mistakes via trial and error.

  7. Another week of great information and like Loretta you’ve got my head buzzing with ideas of how I can outsource what I don’t know and still make money. Maybe that’s the key to making more money, because it frees you up to do the more important stuff or the things you like to do.

    Thanks Nicole
