The Power of Influencer Marketing
                  
     
One of the hottest buzzwords in marketing this year is influencer marketing. Influencer marketing uses key people in thought leadership positions to spread the word about your brand.  These people may be paid or unpaid spokespersons for your brands, products, and services. 
 
The profitable thing about influencer marketing is the leverage.  Instead of marketing or selling to one person at a time, you are marketing to key leaders with followings who can influence many people at once. 
 
Influencer marketing varies by industry ; here are some common examples:
 
  • Locating photos of your product already on social media and reaching out to those people to do more
  • Hiring a social media expert with a large following to talk about your clothing line
  • Having a prominent lifestyle blogger post a photograph containing your juice product
  • Starting a referral program for a makeup company so "regular" women will spread the word
 
The common theme to all of the above examples is finding people who have a huge number of followers that just happen to be your ideal customers. 
 
To take advantage of this marketing method, ask yourself who is influential in your industry that has the ear and respect of your customer base. How could you partner with them so it's a win for you, them, and their following?  You may or may not need to compensate them, depending on their revenue model. 
 
There are plenty of apps to help you locate influencers relevant to you. A favorite is Ninja Outreach at ninjaoutreach.com. 
 
Try reaching out to influencers to leverage your existing marketing and make your marketing dollars go farther.

Is It Profitable to Blog?
  
One of the many online marketing options available for businesses is blogging. A blog can act as a company's daily newspaper, letting customers and followers know the latest news about what's happening. It can also be a wonderful revenue-generator. 
 
As long as the content of your blog is relevant to your readers, you can post on a wide variety of topics. You might want to let clients know about an upcoming sale, a new employee, or a tip related to a product or service of yours.
 
Some businesses make a separate revenue stream out of blogging. The most profitable blog today is the Huffington Post. Revenue from blogging can be earned in many ways:
 
  • By selling ad space to people who want to get their products in front of people who read your blog
  • From sponsors
  • By holding events your readers attend
  • From commissions from the sale of products on your site
  • By creating products and services such as membership sites which allow paid access to your resources
 
Making money from blogging through one of these revenue streams takes work. Not only do you have to find or create content, you'll need to attract readers too. 
 
You can also simply use your blog to generate a following for your products and services. The right content can improve customer service, educate customers on your products which leads to better client retention, or inform them of the benefits of your products during your sales cycle.
 
If you're not a writer, there are plenty of freelance writers available that you can hire to create your blog posts.  You can also curate articles, meaning you can find existing articles and ask the author if you can re-publish theirs. 
 
Creating a blog is easy with software like WordPress or apps like Blogger.com Wordpress.com, and Wix.com, and all of these solutions are free. 
 
Think about how a blog can impact your business for the better.
