It's Kate here from Secret Bloggers' Business and welcome back to Blog Tip Tuesday, where you get hints, tips, and tricks for a better blog. Now, this week's tip is all about what to do when you've been blogging for a while or maybe you've got an online business, you've been doing online marketing for a little while and all of a sudden you realise you've got a whole bunch of freebies, whether you call them content upgrades, opt in bribes. Whatever you call them, you've got a bunch of them. And you're promoting them all over the shop and it's getting a bit cluttered. It's getting a bit chaotic and it's a little bit hard to keep up with who's going into what and what's happening when. So, you now need a plan for what to do with those. And you don't need to be on that treadmill of always creating new ones, because if you've got a bunch of them already, that's probably actually all you need. Particularly, if you know that people love them and people are opting in for them. The idea that I want to present to you today is called crop rotation. So, you are going to crop rotate your opt ins and offers. Basically, as you're sitting down, creating a really simple plan where maybe you cycle through them each month. Maybe in January, you're gonna be promoting offer A, particularly if it's something that's related. In February, you'll start promoting offer B. And by promoting, I mean you'll mention them in your newsletters. You're talking about them on social media. You're maybe you're doing Facebook ads or something like that. It means it just keeps it fresh. It keeps people interested and if you're a bit more techie, there's some really cool plugins you can use these days that allow you obviously to embed stuff straight into your blog posts and some of them will actually allow you to change. So, it will allow you to just put a like a short code into a blog post and it will show up on the posts or maybe it sits below every post or above every post or on the second paragraph of every post, or even in the sidebar. That's another place where you can be every month cycling through. Unless, of course, that post has one which is far more relevant to it and is a specific content upgrade for that post, in which case, ignore me completely. But this is for more the bigger, more overarching ones. If you've got a few of them, rather than promoting them all all the time and having people going into multiple different lists and multiple different sequences of emails, crop rotate them. Turn a bunch of them off, just do one for a month, and then switch. Even better yet, put a system in place and get a VA to do this all for you, so it's totally on autopilot. It means it keeps everything fresh. It means you're continuing to attract new people because you've got seemingly all this great new stuff all the time but it's not confusing, makes it simple, and it also ... simple is good. That's pretty much all I have to say about that. So, crop rotation. If this is an idea that sounds appealing to you, make sure you chuck us a like or a heart. Or share this with someone you think it'll be relevant to and, of course, make sure you check back in same time next week for more blog tip Tuesdays.
