develop a strategy With your brand identity and voice in place you can start building your strategy The first step is defining whom you want to reach and how you ll do it This might sound like something that happens at the end of a strategic planning process but the reality is that developing an audience persona or personas will help inform every step of the marketing process moving forward Setting goals for your online brand is essential these goals will inform everything from deciding on content types and frequency schedules to budgeting for paid traffic and email campaigns Your business may have one overarching goal or many specific ones for example if you re looking to grow sales through advertising setting up those ads in advance will save time by streamlining the process later Let s take this example further into account with practical steps like creating optimized landing pages or optimizing ads based on A B testing results after they go live We can better measure their effectiveness towards achieving those goals over time too

choose a platform You can choose a platform that s right for you There are several to choose from but some will be more appropriate than others depending on your audience and what they re using how much time and money you have available and your skills and interests Consider what type of interaction is appropriate between readers and authors if someone writes something controversial enough that gets attention from mainstream news outlets then those outlets likely won t hesitate to contact whoever wrote it first before reporting anything else related so make sure if using one platform over another makes sense given how much time each takes per day so far ahead into future while still maintaining a balance between work projects too which should never happen even though sometimes does Think about how often you want to post content If you re interested in blogging daily or weekly then blogging platforms may be best because they offer free hosting with easy to use tools If it s more important for your business goals for readership numbers than writing quality for example then social media might be better because it has over 1 billion users who will see any posts as long as they ve been tagged correctly by another user or by an algorithm scan based on hashtags used within photos or videos shared by other users sharing similar images videos at the same time frame during which yours was posted
