Practical steps to blogging and social media – it can sound daunting, but it really isn’t, and in these two posts I’ll tell you why. I’ll also help you get started with a mindset change.
In this two-post mini-series, I’ll be talking to wellbeing professionals, including coaches, counsellors, psychotherapists, and anyone that looks after the wellbeing of their clients in one way or another.
There are a few reasons for me writing this blog post mini-series.
1. Blogging revolutionised my practice, and I am eager to teach more people how to blog to revolutionise their practices by following practical, simple steps.
2. I’ve been presenting a series of workshops via onlinevents.co.uk since 2018, and have seen colleagues start their blogging journey and grow their practices just like I did. I’ve also started running a one-day workshop on how to use Canva to make your blog posts go even further for you.
3. I am a content creator and am now offering that as a service. Now, I don’t write blog posts for people, but I am offering helping out with outlines and other aspects of blogging as part of my Content Creation service.
4. I’m offering one-to-one coaching on content creation, which includes blogging, website support, social media support from crafting your post to publishing it online, and more.
In this post, I’ll talk a little bit about what to expect when you work with me, and some tips on how to start blogging. In the next one I’ll focus on the scheduling and timing aspects of blogging.
Here are some top tips to get you going:
Get your head around blogging
As with anything, having the right mindset before starting a task is important.
Don’t worry, your mindset will change as you start. Just get started and things will start making more sense!
Have a “thinking” session
Sitting down and coming up with things you want to write about is always a good idea.
Putting things down on paper will release those ideas into the real world and you will be able to see things more clearly, as you’ve made room in your mind for further thinking about these things.
There are lots more things to consider in a thinking session, but starting out with this will be a good starting point!
Practical aspects
When getting down to the nitty gritty of writing a blog post, considering the why, what, when, where, who and how are important.
Knowing exactly where you stand with your reasoning behind blogging will get you closer to becoming more at ease with writing and getting your message out.
During the workshops or one-to-one sessions…
I’ll be delving in deeper in to the above aspects. I’ll also be helping you with getting your blog post out there on social media and other places, which will help you grow your practice.
Plus! You’ll get a chance to ask questions and work together with like-minded colleagues who are starting or continuing their blog writing journey.
Getting your message out there can be fun (I particularly love writing!) and it’s a great way to get yourself known to your colleagues and potential clients.
There’s so much to learn from you. Let’s get that message out!
