WoW...lots of great tips here, Lily.
I'm just starting to do more marketing and these will really help.
I'm working on a blogposts and am looking for some places to post them; other than HubSpot I not sure where to post.
Any ideas on where to post would be helpful.

Thanks for sharing this useful post,

Hi Melanie,

Depending on your niche you could consider Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, Quora, Medium, Webtalk, LinkedIn.

What I did was set up a scheduling plugin so that I could preplan all my social media promotions to give me more time for writing. I use the Blog2Social plugin and you can try it out for 60 days for free and it's cheap to keep. There is a list of social media platforms to choose from within Blog2Social, you just put in your name for those social platforms that you have joined.

When I first started I couldn't get my head around promoting my posts, so I wish someone had told me this back then. Let me know if you need some help.

Thanks Lily, you've given me lots to work with.
I'm promoting a couple of marketing software, and this training is a huge help.
I've also bookmark both sites, will definitely implement the Post Scheduler.
Can't thank you enough.

Hi, thanks for this tutorial. How often should I send out a newsletter?

Hi JarieLyn,

There are a few schools of thought here. Some people feel that you should send one out every other day but personally, I think once a week or even a fortnight or monthly will work. You don't want to drive your subscribers to leave by pestering them.

Different businesses need more and some less, that is why everyone has an opinion on this. Start simple I think. A happy, light email that is short, helpful, and sweet once a week will at least get you started. Better some than none.
