Holly Homer runs one of the largest "mommy blogs" in the world. We get to hear her story on overcoming huge tech hurdles from someone who couldn't check her email. She shows us the keys to mastering SEO and Search. She then shares with us why it's coming back in a huge way, and how to capitalize on it in the upcoming years.

It was easy and made it so she didn't have to tell the same stories over and over... Fast forward a few years, and Holly's blog had grown to one of the biggest mommy blogs on the internet. With millions of page views a month, it was getting to the point that she could retire her husband. From there the business really took off.

026 I don't "do it all", however today I peal back the curtain on how I do all that I do. Holly Homer, a successful business owner of multiple businesses, host of the Quirky Mama blog and FB page (with 3.4 million followers!) and host of the Playing Motherhood Summit, interviews me on today's show! Key Takeaways: My secret to “doing it all”. Being organized is skill that can be developed, not necessarily an inate character trait. Apply the same level of intentionality of productivity and systems that you do at to home. Start small. Take one step at a time. Once you set a system, you can set it and forget it. ROI of setting systems in your home. The benefits of systems, like a Breakfast Chart: Eliminates decision fatigue. Empowers you to delegate. Eliminates fighting and power struggles. Gives children ownership. Helps children understand time. The Playing Motherhood Summit is no longer available, however, I will be airing my actual Playing Motherhood Interview in the next few weeks.

In 2014, Holly Homer was launching a new book on Amazon and learned that a big, fast growing Facebook page could be the secret to catalyzing her book's success. Problem was, people were already screaming that organic reach was obsolete and her fan page with 10,000 likes, was all but a ghost town... But against all the guru's advice, Holly and her partner grew that page to over 50,000 fans over the next 3 months and hit the 1,000,000 mark in less than a year. Using nothing but sweat equity and a brilliant strategy. Today the Quirky Momma Facebook page boasts 3.3MM followers and commands a presence most marketers only dream of. But as with every entrepreneurial story, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. As of this recording, we're just coming out of arguably, the biggest Facebook slap ever. And it's one that completely vaporized a massive percentage of Holly's business' revenue. Today Holly shares openly about the struggles of entrepreneurship, the landmines of being an online public figure, her parenting expertise and her strategies to not only survive this Facebook slap, but protect herself from anything else in business that's not within her control. This is an incredibly valuable conversation and one that I've already re-listened to and shared with my family. So with that, please help me welcome, Holly Homer.

The Superheroes of Marketing Podcast | Content Marketing | Lead Generation | Social Media Marketing
Anyone can make an engaging social presence for a fashion, pet or kid's brand, but what if your business doesn't lend itself to cute and fun content? Will anyone want to hear from you? Peg has made a success of social media for businesses that are a perfect fit for social AND those that seem like a stretch. We asked her here to teach us how – because we know lots of business owners feel like social media success isn't possible for someone in their “boring” business. PS – There is a little “swooshing” sound throughout, and for that we apologize, but trust me, you're going to love this episode anyway. It's Not All Kittens and Cupcakes! Sometimes Marketing is a Challenge No one ever said marketing is easy. If it's not working, don't spend your time complaining – get creative and make it work! And yeah, Peg can say this because she's done social media for a dry cleaning chemical company for years. Yikes. She shares her tips including posting consistently and sharing great content, not worrying too much about engagement because she knows it's working. How to Know What to Share Every once in a while she'll ask fans what they want to see. Recently she discovered that they want more of the inspirational quotes. Huh! Everything she posts, she asks, is this relevant to the audience? Will it help make their business better? And sometimes you do have to think way outside the box. After a while you will know what works and what your audience enjoys. And remember, social media is not about sales, it is about being helpful. Can you think of a series of “Did you know?” tips that you could share? People love to share those! Think about the life of your customer – think about what will help them in multiple areas of their lives. We asked Peg, “Is there any business that is too boring for social media?” Well, social media is where people meet customers now. If you don't have a physical presence, you NEED to be online especially. Everyone has gone mobile, too, so you need to be discoverable. It's not even a choice.

Wouldn't you like to be a part of the conversation? If you're not on top of it, your competitor will be! How Do you “Peg” a Post for Content Amplification? Share it in a way that looks good on all platforms. Create images that look great on each platform you use. Make sure your blog posts are shareable. Don't miss the opportunity to allow people to share your content easily. Peg recommends starting your sharing from Pinterest. Then you can share a “pin it for later” link on other platforms as well. Did you know that when you click on a “pin it for later” link from your phone, it opens right up in the Pinterest app! If you want a great step-by-step, check out her book, The Art of Social Media. Resources and People to Follow: Social Warfare! It is a great plugin to allow you to add your Pinterest image in a great big size that will look great on Pinterest, but it doesn't go in your blog post and slow it down.

Denise Griffitts Interviews Holly Homer of Kids Activities Blog Holly Homer has been a blogger since 2007. It started as a substitution for her expensive scrapbooking habit and turned into a full time job that she adores. Her early blog posts from June Cleaver Nirvana live here in the archives at Kids Activities Blog (some old favorites are beaver trapping, low-flow toilets, buying an eBay replacement teddy, and a little boy who calls her mommy). You can find her blog here. She is the married, partially-homeschooling, work-from-home mom of three very active boys and a dog. She realized early on that wearing them out before bedtime was a self-preservation strategy. Holly is a bit social media-obsessed. She loves teaching what she has learned both at the Business 2 Blogger blog and her YouTube channel. She speaks at conferences across the country on blogging and social media topics – Bloggy Bootcamp, Emerging Tech, Declare Conference 2013 & 2014, Blog Elevated 2013 & 2014, Project Mom 2013 & 2014, Women Get Social and is scheduled to speak at Social Media Marketing World 2015 as well as Focused 2015. She has been featured on multiple radio interviews, TV appearances and pod casts. A favorite podcast was about Kids Activities Blog’s FB page’s rapid organic growth with Michael Stelzner.
This Week’s Episode I’m very excited to share my first interview this week, with Lauren Brown from Daisy Cottage Designs. Lauren is a crochet designer, blogger, and maker, and you can find her on Etsy, her blog, Facebook, Ravelry, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, and BlogLovin. (Lauren also has a great series of posts with tips for new Etsy sellers called Etsy 101.) Lauren and I are in a crochet blogger group together, and I invited her to share her tips for increasing Facebook engagement. Lauren’s Facebook following grew by over 27,000 (!) in just 6 months, and she has had the traffic to her blog almost double during the same time period. Lauren’s 6 Tips for Growing Her Facebook Community Add a Facebook conversions box Be consistent Track and evaluate Join groups Interact with fans Be patient Why Facebook? If you’re like me, maybe Facebook isn’t “your thing.” Perhaps you prefer Ravelry or aren’t much a fan of social media at all. Here are some important things to keep in perspective, though, as you consider if and how your business should engage on Facebook. Facebook has over 1.3 active monthly users. 48% of users log in to Facebook every day, spending an average of 18 minutes a day on the site. 50% of 18-24 year olds go to Facebook upon waking up. 20% of all page views in the United States occur on Facebook. Kind of makes Facebook hard to ignore, from a business perspective. Another tidbit – Thursdays and Fridays tend to be the peak usage days, so if you’re just dipping your toe into Facebook, start with end of the week posts. (You can find the sources for these statistics on Static Brain and Zephoria.) About Daisy Cottage Designs Lauren started crocheting in 2010 after her daughter was born. She’s self-taught from YouTube videos. She started by post pictures of her creations on her personal Facebook page and soon began selling finished objects to friends. In December, 2010, she opened an Etsy shop, Daisy Cottage Designs. In January, 2011, Lauren started the Daisy Cottage Designs blog after reading that many successful Etsy sellers have blogs. (Today, her business is more focused on designing and blogging.) Lauren’s Facebook page was started soon afterwards. In the beginning, Lauren’s Facebook page growth was slow. The way she promoted it was by connecting her Etsy shop to her Facebook account. Etsy sellers can find instructions for linking their shop(s) to both Facebook and Twitter here. In March, 2014, Lauren had 2,600 Facebook fans. As of September 9, 2014, she has 31,209 likes! Lauren decided to focus on Facebook this year, and she shared several tips for growing your Facebook following in the interview. 1) Add a Facebook conversions box Lauren started with a Facebook badge on her site, which you get directly from Facebook here. When she started focusing on her Facebook growth, Lauren added a pop up conversions box, which allows someone to like your Facebook page while still visiting your blog. 2) Be consistent Lauren originally only shared links to her blog posts and Etsy listings on her Facebook page. In March, 2014, she increased her posting frequency. She schedules 3-4 posts a day, and may end the day with up to 6-8 posts. She schedules her posts via Facebook directly each morning. (You can learn how to use Facebook’s scheduling feature for your page here.) When traveling, Lauren may schedule for several days in advance to allow her more time away from Facebook. Lauren schedules her posts throughout the day, starting at 8 a.m. She shares content from other sources in the morning; a link to a roundup of free crochet patterns that she’s curated in the middle of the day; and links to her own Etsy listings or blog posts in the evening. She then has the flexibility of adding in a few additional posts during the day – either from other bloggers she networks with or from her own blog. She rarely shares paid patterns. Lauren uses different methods for sharing content from other sources. When the source has a larger Facebook following than hers, or more people talking about it, Lauren uses the Facebook share feature. (You can learn how to do this here.) Her share may be visible to that larger page’s fans, who can be introduced to her Daisy Cottage Designs page. When the source has a smaller Facebook following, Lauren instead pastes the link into her post. Lauren uses a template for her posts, and generally formats the information in the same way. She also posts regularly throughout the day. Lauren thinks this consistency has been an important part of her expansion. 3) Track and evaluate Lauren uses a notebook to track her Facebook postings. She lists her daily posts and then tracks the interaction using Facebook insights. Lauren learned a lot from Holly Homer, the blogger behind Kids Activities Blog. You can find all of Holly’s YouTube videos about Facebook here on her YouTube Channel, including this interview with Dayna Abraham from Lemon Lime Adventures called Growing a FB Page from the Beginning. Lauren got ideas about formatting posts and increasing interaction from these videos. (Holly is also interviewed on the Social Media Examiner podcast here about how she organically grew her Facebook page from 7,000 to over 500,000 likes in 8 months.) Her daily posting schedule is based on information she learns from Facebook Insights (tracked in her notebook). She chooses to schedule posts that link back to her own content during the busiest times for her page, so they will be seen by more people. This has contributed to her blog traffic nearly doubling in the last 6 months. 4) Join groups Lauren really recommends joining groups. (I do, too!) She relies on Facebook groups for bloggers and Etsy sellers for information, cross-promotion, and networking. Lauren can learn about Facebook’s ever changing algorithms, find content to share (including getting permission for sharing images), and can talk about challenges and opportunities she’s experiencing with colleagues. In order to get the most from these groups, you have to be willing to support other bloggers/sellers as much as you’d like to receive support. 5) Interact with fans Lauren interacts with her fans by asking questions and responding quickly to questions. 6) Be patient Growing a big Facebook following doesn’t usually happen overnight. Lauren recommends being patient and keeping track of your successes so you can refine what you’re doing. Thanks for joining us for an interview, and for sharing what’s worked for you, Lauren!
