Start a Podcast
There is something about podcasts that make it unique. People love to listen to podcasts while commuting or during short breaks.
They can consume the content of popular podcasts while working and multitasking too. If you don’t have a podcast today, you’re missing out on a lot of potential clients.
Starting a podcast is actually very easy to do. Similar to starting your own blog, you begin by choosing a topic or a niche to talk about. Develop compelling scripts for your podcast and start recording as soon as possible.
You don’t have to worry about distributing your podcast either. The iTunes podcast section is filled with podcasts by professionals.
You can use SoundCloud and other audio sharing service for the same purpose. Invest in promoting your podcast and attracting listeners, and you’ll be amazed what it can do to your online presence.
Maintain a Pattern
People love patterns for different reasons. The average audience loves being able to check regularly for updates and quality contents.
Potential clients love the fact that patterns show good management. With all of your digital marketing activities, use patterns to your advantage.
Instead of posting multiple blog posts at once, schedule them for a more consistent pattern. Instead of flooding your Instagram stream with new photos, post no more than 4 to 8 photos a day, but post every day to give your followers new content to consume periodically. The same approach can be used for YouTube and other digital marketing instruments.
As soon as you have a pattern established, your audience will be asking for the next article or a new video at certain times. This is a good thing because this means you have loyal audience and viewers that truly enjoy your content.
Invest in SEO
Never hesitate to invest in good search engine optimization or SEO; after all, the first thing a potential client does is search for a service provider using search engines.
There are so many things you can do with a comprehensive SEO campaign, from managing your online reputation to becoming the leading expert in an industry. If you’re not sure about how to do SEO effectively, you can turn to the best SEO services.
Not only will you be able to get better results with SEO experts helping you every step of the way, you’ll also have more time to focus on the rest of your digital marketing campaign.

Hey Erik!
Helpful tips man. There are many ways to sell your service online. One of my favorite ways is through a blog. Blogging can be such a lucrative business. It also helps with branding and showcasing what you have to offer.
If you do go build your own blog, your tip number two should be taken seriously. Having a blogging schedule and being consistent with it is what will help you build that loyal audience. For instance, I publish a new blog post on my internet marketing blog every Monday. And I don’t ever want to miss a Monday! … because I know my audience is waiting for that one new blog post that day. You get your existing audience and potential customers used to your schedule, so you can’t fail them or you will fail.
Thank you for sharing these tips!
Best regards! 😀
