🌅 If I could start over…
There’s nothing better than learning from the mistakes and successes of your fellow entrepreneurs.
In a recent article for HubSpot, entrepreneur Jenna Kutcher shared the first things she would do if she were to start her business over.
🔑 Here are the key points I think resonate the most:
Create an email list: Kutcher emphasizes the importance of focusing on what you own first vs. the platforms you can’t control. While social media is a powerful tool for connecting with your audience, your email list is yours, and allows you to connect directly with the people who want to hear from you.
Understand your brand’s vision: Your business is your offer, while your brand is your personality behind every offer. Understanding this difference is crucial to how you present yourself online and show up to every interaction. A cohesive brand experience builds trust and confidence with the audience.
Share your experiences: Avoid the urge to “show off,” and instead aim to show up as yourself. Your journey is yours, and sharing that with your audience will humanize your brand and allow them to more easily connect with you and what you have to offer.
💡 Remember that your early mistakes are part of what will make your business so great. It’s the learning that shapes what you will become.
🎉 Content in the new year
Believe it or not, we’re only a few months away from 2025.
So much has changed in the content world thanks to AI, and I’m sure we can expect more monumental changes between now and this time next year.
To help you prepare for the content of the future, Search Engine Land has some tips for how to create powerful, valuable content that does what you need it to do.
Content length: Longer isn’t always better
👉 Essentially, make it as long as it has to be to “answer the question related to the concept,” whether that’s 300 words or 3,000.
👉 Also, that doesn’t always mean it’s in blog form. Consider the best format for what you’re trying to say.
Content depth: The deeper the better
👉 Balance offering a clear answer to the question with all the other relevant, related details.
👉 Aim to take things a step further than the highest-ranking article on your topic.
What’s passage ranking?
👉 It’s a Google feature that allows specific passages or sections of a webpage to rank independently in search results, even if the overall page is about a broader topic.
👉 Does this complicate things? Maybe, but keep your focus on your audience and answering their questions, and you’ll put yourself in the best position for success.
