SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is a great way to attract more traffic to your baby coaching brand. Here are some tips to get you started:

 

#1. First of all, the assumption is you do have a website, right? Thus you are not one of those people who think they own a Facebook group or page or any social media profile…Well, until Facebook/read any social media platform bots block you, for whatever imagined or real wrongs!

So, the first step is having a digital real estate that you own and have authority over aka a website. Get one built by professionals if you haven’t yet got one. The earlier you invest in one, the better for you in the short and long run.

Once you have your new website unveiled, please please, do not sit on your laurels. Give your new baby some nourishment, have a content strategy and start on some proper Local Inbound marketing aka Local SEO done, by professionals like K-Web Social from as low as £159/month.

Understand that SEO takes time and No one should offer quick wins, that’s a lie. SEO is meant to be In fact, it is and should be a safe and natural way to climb the Search engine ranks – Avoid at all costs black hat tactics or short-term wins. If you are on a very tight budget, check out our White Hat SEO Tips to be on the safe side.

Otherwise, it’s best to let you know upfront that SEO is a long-term game. Consider it an investment in your business’ growth and success. Especially if you want to reduce your reliance on paid social media ads.

#2. Start creating content that is useful and relevant to your audience. Keep in mind the keyword phrases that people are likely to search for when looking for your coaching-topic-related information.

Again, you do not have to create the content yourself, there are professional ghost-writers who can develop SEO ready articles for you, and all you have to do is hit publish. Or even let them do the publishing for you. The earlier you outsource tasks you aren’t good at, the quicker you will start to see an ROI in your baby business. Make sure you see some of their prior content as there are lots of charlatans about to grab some of your sweet-earned cash.

 

Make sure to use relevant keywords throughout your website content, including visuals aka images and videos, including in the meta tags, titles, and headings.

 

Of course, it goes without saying that you will let your fans and followers know when your new website goes public and every time you publish content. So, the next step is a given…

#3. Utilize social media platforms to spread the word about your content. This means you have created or hired someone to create for you Optimised Social Media Profiles that are Branded to you/your business right? Well if you haven’t yet, we recommend you reach out to these social media mavens and see how they can be of service to you.  

Then go ahead and either share your content yourself or outsource to the likes of 99Social to spread your message on relevant groups and pages, and engage with your followers.

#4. Ramp up your SEO by building quality backlinks to your website by guest blogging and submitting your content to other websites. We have been guests on Ryan Biddulph’s Bloggingfromparadise website and several other high-level blogs and platforms over the years. Do not be that blogger who sends random cold email messages. Aim to build social capital and make a real friend in the website owners of those assets you wish to guest blog on. Share their content, comment on their socials, or better still comment on their blog posts, and Tweet their articles.

Trust me they will notice and at least 40% will respond by checking out your content on social and if they are open to it, suggest a guest article in your niche and keep on going. Don’t be attached to their response.

You should Optimize your website for SEO further also. Do some own housekeeping, now that you own digital real estate. Like cleaning your house, shining the glassware, etc? You do this by ensuring that your website builder ensured that your website is crawlable, mobile-friendly, and fast-loading. If they did not do that as standard, get it done asap.

By following these steps, you should be able to attract more traffic to your baby coaching brand with both onsite basics and professional SEO work!

5 Basic Steps to Attract Pinterest Traffic to your new e-commerce store

#1 Create compelling visuals for your products – use this tool to do that. Then go ahead to create visually appealing Pinterest images that will draw viewers in and encourage them to click through to your products and website. Make sure to use relevant “commercial keywords” in the product image alt tags and descriptions to optimize visibility.

Our hack is we visit Amazon and check out especially “sponsored” products in our niche similar to what we sell. We copy those Keywords and use them on our Pinterest products which are mainly books. What’s good or the goose is good for the gander, right?

#2. Optimize your profile – Optimize your profile information to ensure viewers can quickly identify who you are and what your store is offering. See the tips above on how to do that.

#3. Pin relevant content – Pin content related to your store, such as product images or promotional offers. Including content that inspired your brand, show people sone behind the scenes content. For instance, a video of you packing or unboxing your product from a supplier. People love that kind of content.

Create micro videos of your products as opposed to images as Pinterest loves and promotes videos more. Definitely post at least 2 Idea Pins per week.  Doing the above will help boost your inventory visibility and engagement, which if focused and consistent, should produce more sales for you.

#4. Utilize hashtags – Use relevant hashtags to help your pins reach a wider audience. Just like using commercial keywords, use them as hashtags on your Pinterest images and videos.

#5. Participate in group boards – Participate in group boards related to your niche to increase exposure and build relationships with other brands. We recommend you find small group boards with no more than 20 – 100 contributors tops. Because large group boards dropped off the Pinterest love list in 2020.

Be consistent, be focused, and pin at least 10 pins a week minimum. You can definiteluy schedule your Pins instead of manually pinning using Tailwind. Pin more and you will see even more faster traction and traffic to your ecommerce store. And if you are serious about your e-commerce then you must try Pinterest Ads or Promoted Pins as they were called back then.

I can assure you that you will get more bang for your buck with Pinterest Ads than with any social media platform, period. You could grab a course online or follow the steps we lay out in the above article and below. Trust me the course won’t teach you that much more. But it’s good to learn newer APIs and what’s new. So, grab a course that is new or updated regularly and run some Pinterest ads to your inventory.
