You have a website or an account on social media? keep in mind this social media tip: A WATCHED POT NEVER BOILS.
So you create a website, a blog post, share a post on social media, or launch an ad online and you expect immediate response. Hold your horses!
Results online are certainly not immediate especially if you are targeting a niche segment. It is true that users spend more time online nowadays, but they don’t have to be online at the time of your post. It won’t be wise to check your post or analytics every minute. Sleep on it, give your audience time to go online, check your post and interact, after all a watched pot never boils.
In the case of ads, reviewing the ad is extremely important, you might want to change it, if your audience is not responding to the ad. However, give it a day or two before you take a final decision to make sure that your ad was served to a large number of your targeted audience.
Instead of watching that pot, here are some ideas to help your post or website become more visible, make sure not to overdo it:
- Share your post on all social media and make sure to use the appropriate language for each tool. (This topic will be covered in a new tip soon, so stay tuned)
- Send your close friends updates on WhatsApp or similar applications and invite them to visit your post or website
- List your website or blog in online directories, local and international ones.
