I, too, got affected by the changes and couldn’t reach my audience like I used to. I had to think of new ways to reach my followers, who cannot see as much of my content as before.

We all can fix these problems by keeping on creating great content and engaging more with others to show your presence. You can also spend money on ads so you can reach more people or use different hashtags. The only issue with these is that you will need to take many trials and errors before knowing what the hashtag sets will drive you more traffic and what ads work best.

Yes, you can. But it will be just like you are creating another Instagram account or any other new social media account in which you won’t have control over their algorithms.

When a trendy channel gets introduced to people, you definitely can take advantage of the new channels and start from zero like other influencers. But I want to point out here is that you don’t know how long it will be popular for and if it will drop off or its algorithm will change. This is one of the risks you have to be aware of when building your influence on a newly launched platform.

Many people look at a blog as another platform to get collaborations, but they forget that you OWN this platform. There won’t be any algorithm changes unless you are changing how to navigate your blog yourself. Guys, you NEED a blog.

According to unverified sources, blog traffic across the internet is going down, and people are encouraging you NOT to start a blog. Wait…what?!?! In my opinion, this is a LIE. Think about it, you creating a blog is like creating another competitor for other people. And when to many competitors join in, it can scare some about what to do. Depending on who is talking, it’s all aimed to benefit someone’s business.  

But stats don’t lie as blogging has grown by 12% since 2015 and 77% of internet users read blogs, 2020. (optinmonster)

I have been approached many times by different marketers and companies wanting me to write a blog post and link back to them. Why would they care so much about backlinks to their website if blogging is so-called ‘Dieing’?

They do this to drive more traffic to their website and create an authority in their expertise topics.

Blogging is helping people to find more information and support each other through linking to relevant articles. It creates a space for users to engage in and learn new things. 

Having an email list is a great way to expand your brand. Not only does it give you something that you can control, but it allows you to stay engaged with your audience. Your email list gives you direct access to your follower’s inbox where you have a better chance of being seen in then if posting on Instagram and hoping for all your followers to see your content. It’s the only place where you will get 100% reach every time you send out an email.

By creating an email list, you are building a customer base that you can control and potentially sell a product. There is no other place where you have as much control of your content and how it gets sent to people than an email list.
