Posting on social media is easy. Creating social media posts that consistently get engagement can be more difficult.

 “You want people to engage, you want people to stop their scroll, that is your goal.

Your goal is to stop the scroll. ”

-Bonnie L. Frank

It really isn't difficult to post on social media...It's not the posting that is difficult but getting engagement from your audience. If you're new to social media, you might be wondering why some posts do well and others don't. What does your target audience want to see from you?

Social media really is for being social and that is something that digital marketers need to keep top of mind. They need to remember the 80/20 rule where you provide 80% valuable content and 20% of the posts include a call to action and possibly a mention of something you have for sale.

“I really want you to look at, listen to, read, and study the content from online business and marketing people because, I'm telling you, you're going to learn so much more and grow so much more personally and professionally by studying them.  There are clues to your success in them.”

-Bonnie L. Frank

Affiliate marketing and other types of passive income are wonderful ways to increase your streams of revenue! Check out episode 90 for loads of ideas.

 “ Affiliate marketing means you have some sort of a relationship with a certain  person, product, program or service that you are talking about. ”

-Bonnie L. Frank 

In today's episode, I share an important part of being an entrepreneur: multiple streams of revenue. The pandemic was a big wake up call and people who had multiple income streams fared much better than people with just one.

You don’t need to have a ton of followers on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or any other platform to become an influencer or affiliate marketer. It’s really about finding products that you are passionate about and that fit with your brand.

“I'm just here in a sandbox. That's my point. It’s not my sandbox. I don't own the sandbox.
