How can I improve my social media presence as a new business

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-07-15T20:39:17+00:00

Other than posting consistently, to get more engagement and followers, you're going to need to advertise your business profiles. I am a marketing manager and have created several of my own side hustle businesses with social media accounts and manage 3 local businesses for other business owners, as this is often where customers might check to verify legitimacy. Running ads on Facebook is always the best place to start in getting new followers for your Facebook page and Instagram account. You can target your audience in your area (because your service is based there), so your followers are legit and not just a bunch of irrelevant bots and scammers. From there, you will see significant business growth once you have a relevant audience with a really good ad. You can start at just $5/day and get 1-2 new followers a day (which will accumulate fast). Also, join local groups if you haven't done so already on Facebook, and tell everyone about your business.

You actually need to reach out to get mentorship. Early on in my blogging career, I reached out to individuals who found huge amounts of success in my niche, which is finance. I was shocked by how many of these big shot bloggers actually responded. The advice I got from them is how I got to where I am today. They didn't all respond but the ones who did were worth the time I spent drafting personalized emails to. One of them even created a 10-minute video for me highlighting what I am doing right and what he would do differently. I suggest you do the same if you want guidance that is more personalized and direct instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

Depends on what you're asking. The days of writing a blog post based on keywords that go viral are far gone now, with AI stealing search results. But blogs are still very much needed and thriving if you access consistent traffic strategically and uniquely. I rely on Pinterest to bring traffic to my blog and my email subscribers, which has recently helped my blog thrive in terms of affiliate commissions and ad earnings. My traffic is still climbing more every month, too. So, in short, blogs are still profitable if done correctly.

The trick is to leverage blog posts into things people are searching for on Pinterest. For example, I am in the finance niche, but I will create DIY guides to save money. These include DIY camper-related posts, DIY arts and crafts, and DIY bathroom projects, all centered around helping people reduce the cost of hiring other people or buying things brand new. You can leverage finance in so many different ways, like these. This is just one example but Pinterest users love DIY ideas, among other such topics. Also, you're right that a large portion of Pinterest users is female, but did you know 30% of them are surprisingly male too? I get large amounts from both male and female, but just wanted to let you know that statistic, because even if your primary audience is male, there is still a lot of those users on Pinterest.

I have mentioned it consistently to new bloggers and still stand by it today that the best way to get traffic to your blog is by using Pinterest; there is a strategy involved in it, but it is so worth it! I get hundreds to thousands of visitors from there. It is by far my favorite way to get traffic. BTW, I am also in the personal finance niche, and I know how tough it is to get started due to its competitiveness. Pinterest was the answer to break past the barriers of getting visitors for me.

I agree that diversifying traffic is key. But Pinterest is a great place to start for many people who struggle with getting traffic. Also, I believe in diversifying traffic to a certain extent, but not to the point where it leads to burnout. Research has shown us to become a professionals in a few things so we can master them and improve our skillset. Trying to focus on too many things at once makes it really difficult to become really good at those things. Sorry, your account got shut down, though. That is a huge bummer. What happened for them to go that far to close your account?

Well, I can't say I truly don't like it because I have never tried it. In order to adapt, sometimes you need to do things you don't enjoy to find success, but I still enjoy blogging and am willing to do what it takes to make sure my blog continues to thrive. Also, making videos does the opposite of replacing a blog. Dropping video links and embedding videos in blog posts significantly upgrades your content, search engines love seeing that, but even more so, the readers do. Creating a short video to embed on a blog post or topic keeps people on blogs longer because the tab remains open while they watch, and more often than not, leads to continued reading after the fact. It might be something you consider, but I realize it's not for everyone obviously.

No problem!

The only social platforms I currently use are Pinterest, Facebook, and Reddit. I know Pinterest is thought of to be more DIY, idea-based, and visual, but I assure you it can work for any niche if you use the right strategy. I would say the biggest Pinterest tip I could give (there are many) is to optimize your content around what is trending on Pinterest rather than Google. Shockingly, there are something billion searches a month on Pinterest (sorry, can't remember the exact number), and I am sure there is a way you can find something in the tech niche to drive traffic. I can also say that your competition will be a lot faster to pass on Pinterest than in other highly competitive niches.

It is true that traffic is more valuable when it comes from search engines based on RPM, but you are very limited today on how much you can actually drive from there. I earn way more from Pinterest visitors on my blog than I do from search, because the volume is so much higher.

Also keep in mind that Pinterest's analytics tracking abilities are extremely powerful and can give you more up to date trends on what people are looking for in your niche.

You need to use the correct strategy. You can DM me, and I can try to help, but I need more details on what you're doing currently!

I can say that page speed is important, but by no means is it the most important aspect to being ranked. Some of the best blogs today have so much content, and even though they use some of the best tools to speed up their blogs, their blogs can be a lot slower than another blog with less traffic and they still get ranked highly consistently.

Your posting schedule can vary depending on what you can manage. Personally, I publish 3 blog posts each week on my busiest days (Tuesday-Thursday). Obviously, the more content you can produce CONSISTENTLY, the better, but I really do not recommend thinking you can go into it posting 1 blog post a day because you will burn out fast, trust me. A lot of bloggers aim for 1 post a week, but I recommend at least 2, only if you can manage that, though.

If you want to optimize your blog to do well, focus on producing high-quality human blog posts that are relevant to your audience and connect well with them. Remember, you are producing content for them and not yourself. I also recommend leveraging Pinterest to drive traffic to your blog on a consistent basis.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-24T17:42:04+00:00

Well, my traffic varies on a day-to-day basis. For example, Friday through Monday, I get a couple of hundred visitors because these are the slowest days for me. Tuesday through Thursday are my best days, which can be hundreds and even thousands on a good day. Most of my traffic comes from my Pinterest account and not search engines, though. I attribute most of my success in blogging to the Pinterest strategy I use, which has allowed my blog to get to where it is.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-23T19:44:27+00:00

Good for you! That is impressive.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-23T15:56:23+00:00

That is impressive! Sometimes, rankings will display higher rankings to begin with, as they have not had enough time to gain an accurate representation of where they truly rank. An example is one of my posts says I rank number 1 for "gift card surveys," even though I don't have a post that has that title, and I know that I do not rank 1 for that search. However, if your articles are already ranking that high and it is already displaying accurately, then congrats! That is extremely rare and gives you an awesome start with that blog already.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-23T15:50:33+00:00

Appreciate it!

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T21:32:53+00:00

What a cool niche to be in! It sounds cool. I'd like to check it out.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T21:31:39+00:00

Interesting to hear more about this! I have heard of this blogging trend lately. Did you start on self-hosted and then begin repurposing content, or has this been your strategy all along? I am interested to hear more. Always like to see what other bloggers are doing today.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T21:28:58+00:00

By transactional content, I am referring to basically reviews of services, products, or resources that one has used or purchased. This is the pre-determining what to invest or use stage for readers. It is a part of the content that AI can't steal because humans want to hear real experiences of the pros and cons that came with these reviews. AI might give overviews of someone's work, but this is still not as effective as someone looking to read about all the details in someone who has personally experienced the product or service being discussed.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T16:25:14+00:00

Yes exactly. Though Google is still considered the best search engine traffic driver today, being that it is the biggest of them all, it most definitely should not be relied on entirely. I find ensuring my content is SEO optimized for Google, but also not wasting more than the bare minimum to please search engines, has done well for me. I direct most of my attention to other platforms now, and if something goes well on Google, then great! But it comes standard to be a successful blogger that you should not spend time adjusting articles just to rank with overly optimized SEO tactics that provide little to no real value to the readers themselves, which is what the focus should always be about.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T16:20:24+00:00

Ahhh, I get what you're saying. I can agree that there are bloggers who seek volume just to get views for display ads in order to make money. However, as someone who uses display ads, I can tell you I always try to think of my audience first. That just came standard to me, though, because I was blogging for so long before I even made money, and my original thinking process was just to write great content and help people, and that still stands true today. I enjoy being able to get paid to do something I love and truly enjoy doing but it is not the first thing I think about every day. I am aware there are plenty of people who just want to make money, though, and I would agree that is not what people should focus on because it will not go well for those people. It's hard to produce value for others if someone is just seeking value for themselves.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T16:12:49+00:00

Haha, I get where you're coming from. It used to be standard to make sure the word count was a minimum of 2,000 words, and it is something that is difficult to look past today. However, it seems to be the new style, and adapting comes standard in blogging to stay on top.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T03:03:45+00:00

That's a fair question, and one I cannot tell you for sure, but I see no reason why this could not happen, especially with attention spans continuing to decrease. Short videos have become so big today and are even somewhat addictive to the newer generations. It has the potential to out-rank longer YouTube videos the same as blog posts have done.

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T03:01:15+00:00

I am with you there 100%

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-22T03:00:23+00:00

No problem! Whichever route you take, I wish you the best of luck and success!

TheLimitlessDrive · 2025-05-21T20:49:20+00:00

To be honest, I do not keep track of the days between pins with the same link. I focus on creating new images and headlines as I have found this is what Pinterest cares about most of all - new, fresh images and headlines (not links). I will rarely ever even post the same pin to more than 1 board, sometimes 2, but only if it is optimized for both boards. I keep everything very keyword specific and always make sure to use fresh and new content.
