Want to be successful on Mavely? Here are some tips for bloggers:

Be authentic

Your followers trust you and value your opinions. Keep things real, and ensure that the products you promote align with your values and style, especially when recommending items. It’s important to write honest reviews and only promote what you would use yourself. Be genuine and honest!

Focus on your niche

Identify your niche and stay true to it. Keep your content within that niche, whether focused on beauty, fashion, lifestyle, or something else. This will help attract followers interested in the same topics and increase engagement. If you have products out of your niche or focus, your readers may get confused about why you’re promoting them on your platform.

Create high-quality content

Your content should be visually appealing, informative, and engaging. Use high-quality images and videos, and write compelling captions that highlight the features and benefits of the products you’re promoting. When creating good quality content, make sure that you can repurpose it for other platforms or different needs. This will also help you batch your content.

Be consistent

Just like any platform, consistency is vital to building a loyal following. Post consistently, don’t be salesy, engage with your followers and discuss the why behind the promotion. If they comment, comment back. It also matters that you respond to their comments and messages in a timely manner.

Promote Mavely on your other social media channels

If you have a solid following on other social media platforms, promote your Mavely account to your followers. This will help you attract new followers and increase your earning potential through a dedicated affiliate link for the platform.

By following these tips, bloggers can increase their chances of success on Mavely and create a thriving community of followers who trust and value their opinions.

HoneyBook

When I decided to revamp my consulting business a few months ago, I knew I needed to step up my game. I needed to find an easy-to-use CRM to start managing all of my clients with actual workflows. And I’m one of those individuals who has been flip-flopping between multiple CRMs for years. A few weeks ago, I finally gave in and tried HoneyBook, and I am now obsessed with it.

I was ready to go within minutes of entering all of my business information. HoneyBook also has a very clean, white interface that works with any brand. The integrations are also amazing. They have email integrations, Quickbooks, Facebook, Zapier, Zoom, and more options.

Canva Pro is a MUST HAVE if you’re a blogger or business owner. If you’re creating a ton of content and use the same fonts and colors repeatedly, their brand kit is essential.

You can have three brand fonts installed, multiple color palettes (depending on your mood), and a ton of uploaded fonts! They’re all saved in the kit, so you don’t have to keep searching for that specific font you use for your social media images. It helps when I can’t remember the name of the font.

4 Time Saving Tips For Productivity

4 Time Saving Tips For Productivity

Productivity is something that everyone struggles with at one point or another. Here are some time saving tips to help you get more productive while promoting healthy boundaries and reducing distractions in your workspace. 

4 Time Saving Tips For Productivity

Declutter your office.

Is your desk a mess? Go clean it. Identify all of the most-needed items that you frequently use during your workday. These will be the only items that should be within reach on top of your desk or on a shelf beside your desk for quick access. Need more ideas? Here are 7 Tips To Declutter Your Workspace.

Block time off in your calendar.

This may seem simple, but blocking time off in your calendar for basics like lunch, focus time, or even a quick walk to get yourself re-centered will help you find a better flow in your workday. 

Extra tip: Create blocks of time at the same time every day during the week (if you can) so that you have something to look forward to, which can help break up the day!

Take the time to get organized. 

A significant part of being productive is being organized. This means you don’t have to search for files, papers, or books. Even though it might take a while to get organized, it’s definitely worth the effort. As soon as you have everything in its proper place, you’ll be able to focus more on everything you need to do. I love using Monday.com as an organizational tool for my life and business!

Identify your top priority tasks. 

Creating a list of your top priorities daily will help you stay focused on everything that needs to be done. Do it if you can push a task or two to another day! Focus on projects with important deadlines and allow yourself extra time to complete them. 

Everyone has different work styles, and what may work for you may not work for others. And, that’s okay. Learn what works best for you, and don’t bother with the stuff that doesn’t. Completing tasks you don’t like will stress you out and make you less productive.

How To Use Personalized Greeting Cards For Customers

How To Use Personalized Greeting Cards For Customers

When you run your own business, you have clients or customers you need to manage and maintain relationships with. To make them feel special and appreciated, personalized greeting cards will help you and your brand stand out by providing a one-on-one experience, unlike many businesses in today’s world. 

There are so many different ways to utilize a workflow to send personalized cards to your customers. Greeting cards for customers are also a great way to show you care. Therefore, I want to share four simple ways to incorporate them into your business management and operation workflows.


Greeting Cards For Clients

5 Ways To Send Personalized Greeting Cards To Your Clients

Sending Birthday Cards

Want to send a little something special to your client or customers? Sending a personalized handwritten greeting card to celebrate a birthday is a great way to make your client feel seen, appreciated, and loved on their birthday.

While many people forego handwritten cards or greeting cards these days due to the presence of social media, this will help you stand out from the crowd and make them feel special.

Sending Thank You Cards

Do you send thank you cards to clients, customers, or other businesses? If not, you should consider using custom handwritten greeting cards that will be customized to your brand and your voice.

Sending greeting cards to your customers will also help your clients trust you. It may also make them refer you to their friends and family because of the personalized service they received!

Sending Holiday Greeting Cards

When I think about sending holiday greeting cards, I often opt for something I can make online. But, if I were to send them to my clients during the holidays, I’d want a personalized touch that only handwritten cards can bring. 

Adding a Personalized Touch to Your Onboarding Packet

Do you send your clients a physical onboarding packet? If so, you can add in a personalized, handwritten greeting card to say hello and personalize the experience even further. Let’s face it; a new client needs the most attention at the start of their contract with you.

You want to provide the best service possible and get to know them and their needs. Sending a hello via physical note or card in the packet is the best way for the client or customer to feel like they matter. In fact, it will also show that you took a little extra time and effort during the process.

Make Your Business Stand Out After Networking Events

After attending a networking event, I’m sure you’ll end up with many business cards of people you may or may not talk to again. To increase the chances of continuing the conversations at the event, you could always send them a greeting card in actual handwriting to ensure that you continue the positive impression you made in person.

If you’ve never thought about using handwritten personalized greeting cards for your customers and clients, I would genuinely encourage you to think about it in the future. In the age where everything is digital, only certain things stand out to clients who are used to just receiving email after email in their inboxes. 

5 Questions For Aspiring Influencers

5 Questions For Aspiring Influencers

Becoming an influencer through blogging is something that you often see these days, and with the addition of other social media platforms, it’s mainly all you see on your feed. However, being an influencer or a blogger isn’t always easy, and it sometimes takes a ton of work to create a short post. 

Over the years, I’ve had to get more comfortable sharing my voice through written words consistently. However, I wasn’t always successful (or willing) to share photos of myself. And that is something that I’m hopefully going to conquer this year with determination, confidence, and more mindset work. 

Working on your personal growth is a long process, and it’s not one you should take lightly, so if you’re an aspiring influencer or a newbie blogger, this post will be for you. I want to help you feel more comfortable sharing the things you love and maybe even seek out some brand partnerships in the future.

Important Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Become An Influencer:

Who Is Your Audience?

Every online coach, resource, and marketing book tells you to know who your audience is. For example, who are the people you’re trying to reach with your content? What do you want to share with them?

These are just some questions you should ask yourself to create an ideal client avatar and describe a member of your audience down to their occupations, what they wear, and where they live. Creating content will be much easier once you know who you want to appeal to. 

What Kind of Vibe Are You Going For?

Everything you create is about the energy you want to show to the world. This vibe is also a significant part of your brand as an influencer. It can also help you stand out in a sea of influencers because people buy into your story, your energy, and whatever you’re trying to help them with. Simply put, don’t blend in.

Your brand is a major reflection of who you are, and you’re not like anyone you know. Standing out and being authentic in helping your audience know you, like you, and ultimately, trust you.

What Do I Want To Say? 

Another essential thing to ask yourself is what you want to share. I always ask myself, “What is it that I want to say to everyone who follows me?” This honestly changes depending on my mood. I’m multi-passionate, so I can switch up what I want to talk about on any given day. As long as you can tie the things you say back to your message and your brand, it’s all good!

Where Does My Ideal Audience Hang Out?

This may seem like a super simple question to you, but it may be the hardest to figure out unless you know your audience. Many influencers start on major social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok to build their following. However, this won’t happen overnight, and not every platform will work for you and your brand. 

Take the time to figure out where your audience hangs out, what kind of content they’re loving, and start there. Then, once you’re able to start monetizing your content with your following, you’re ready to amp up your marketing efforts with ease.

Where Do I Want To Focus My Energy?

This is something that I have been asking myself a lot recently, and it’s due to my personal growth. I simply don’t have the energy to keep posting on every platform every day, and it’s something I’ve come to terms with in the past year or so.

While consistency is critical to growth, it’s okay to take time off to refocus your energy. As an influencer, it may be hard for you to fathom doing that, but with the accessibility of pre-scheduling content, you can make it happen.

PRO TIP:  When you batch your content, you free up more time so you can focus on doing the things you love! 

Being an influencer isn’t easy, but somebody has to do it. And, if that somebody is you, congratulations! You will learn more about yourself in the next couple of months while navigating your way through all of the online resources and social media platforms you can find, but remember to go back to these five easy questions if you ever get stuck!
