The creation of an audience for your business and your business -- is a lot easier to say than do.

Over 1000 creatives were asked to give their most helpful advice on how to grow their audience. Although you might think that fancy software or complicated marketing funnels to be essential to success, entrepreneurs from different fields and experiences overwhelmingly stated that the secret to their success was producing content. Particularly, they created content that was tailored towards their intended audience.

Consistency is a way to determine if you love something enough to commit for the long haul

Beginning your own creative venture is an exciting thing. You'll likely be committing hundreds of hours to your craft, so it's something you love doing each day. Consistent creation puts your idea on the line.

"I've always been emailing each day since I made it a priority over all other things, and it's been huge. Since then, I've used my weekly emails as a creative outlet... That's how I strive to be a part of my work and improve my art."

In making email an unassailable, Veronica has given herself space to enjoy her craft and let her imagination run wild.

What is our advice?

The habit of showing up consistently builds trust

The web is constantly changing, and making a lasting impression on potential clients can be a challenge. Sharing your expertise regularly lets your followers know that you're reliable and helps them become familiar with you. 40% of buyers from the USA would spend more money for products because they believe in the product, and spending time with them can build a strong foundation.

"Every every day I turn my face. I show my face all the time so my fans are aware of who I are. I speak to them and they are able to see what it would be like to take one of my classes."

With her consistent posting of quality information, she has grown her company's Instagram account to more than 8000 followers. Her first course launch earned her five-figure sum.

"I found how much I shared with others my story, the more my social network exploded, and I found amazing people to invest with me, partner with me or teach me something, or be friends with me."

Building trust over time with an audience you want to reach provides you with an understanding of what products you may want to offer. Harp teacher Anne Crosby Gaudet observed:

"My clients feel that they've known me since I've been creating regular content every week for a number of years. In my business, that includes composing music with harps and creating videos of performances to enhance learning. I've earned their trust since they've seen that my work is innovative, insightful and beneficial. Pivoting to offer harp lesson courses was a natural transition as my existing customers had a good understanding of, and appreciation for my work as a composer as well as a teacher."

Through establishing a solid reputation with her performances as well as composition work, Anne was met with enthusiastic response when she decided to provide online lessons and harp classes.

Regularly delivering high-value content also has helped Rachel Lynes from The Sing Space increase her followers 50-fold within the span of a few months.

"I offered a free daily 30 minute singing class for 8 months through our Facebook community. Some thought I was insane however, I increased our followers from 300-5,000 within 12 weeks and turned the class for free into the first world-class Vocal Gym(tm), an on-demand streaming platform for singing that relies on subscription."

When Rachel moved from free tools to her now award-winning vocal coaching business, she was able to reach an entire audience who knew the value of her services.

Bottom line Sharing your passion with others builds trust as well as closer relationships between you and your target audience.

Consistency is an algorithm-friendly

In this case, Instagram content is ranked according to a myriad of factors, including the amount of engagement a post receives (likes and comments), how many times a viewer has interacted with your content and how long it has been since your content was posted and the activity you have done within the app. In the same way, YouTube ranks videos by the type of videos that receive the highest engagement keywords and also the relevancy of a post's title, description, and information.

When you frequently post on the channel you prefer viewers will be able to get to know more about you and the work you do. The addition of new content gives people who are new to your channel more chances to discover you, and gives existing fans more reasons to keep coming back. Plus, you'll have an abundance of material for followers to like, post comments on and tweet, leading to a greater level of engagement and increase the reach.

"The initial 30 days that of doing it and we noticed an abundance of participation," they explain. "People thought, 'Wow!' awesome, you're doing the same thing every single day. I'd like to know what you're able to accomplish. Then we have the YouTube algorithm going in our favor since we had been posting many times, which moved us towards the proper direction."

"We made it part of their schedule every day. The kids could get up, have their coffee while watching Tiny Shiny Home."

They now release short videos every day and long-form documentary-style pieces every few months. Their channel has seen an increase of over 99K users , and one video reached three million views.

Lissa Prudencio from Wealth for Women of Color noticed an inverse trend as she joined TikTok. "I decided to post at least three times per every day on TikTok for the duration of a month which then turned into two to three months. That's when I experienced a jump in growth."

Social platforms don't reward and penalize users solely on the basis of the time you post, things they are likely to pay attention to could be enhanced by consistent posting.

If you're not getting your desired growth Consider increasing your post cadence. For Longneckers who post weekly, posting their videos made it easier for them to perfect their skills and build a following however, daily posts brought their channels to the next level. Even if it's just for a short time regularly posting on a higher frequency may help get the algorithm rolling in your favor.

4 ways to be more consistent in your business

Do you want to become more consistent in your creative company? Here are some suggestions that can help you deliver every time when life gets busy.

Content batching

batching is when you are working with similar tasks and don't need to change tasks frequently. Numerous creators -- I'm also raising my hand in this regard -- believe that working on the same type of work for an extended period of time reduces distractions and increases focus.

Like, for example, research the latest YouTube video idea or writing a script filming, and creating thumbnails all require different skills, and jumping between tasks can hinder the efficiency . If you were to use a batching strategy it is possible to spend a few hours just researching video ideas for several forthcoming projects. Next, you would spend creating video scripts, and so on.

Em Connors uses content batching to reduce overload. She makes use of Canva to make several weeks worth of Instagram posts ahead of time, so that she's not stuck coming up with concepts in the moment. Batching content also helps Em make sure that her business is unified in its appearance and style.

If you're looking to test the process yourself, start small. Reserve at least an hour to:

Make social media posts

Outline future blog posts

Search YouTube for YouTube videos

It is possible to get lots accomplished by sticking to the same goal in a brief time.

The repurposing of content

Content repurposing means reusing work that you've published previously on different channels or platforms.

Say you wrote a meaty blog post. Here are some ideas on how to repurpose an existing post:

Make Instagram as well as Facebook post for each of your key factors.

Use the post as a script for the podcast episode or YouTube video.

Utilize a part of the piece in an email newsletter.

Create reels, shorts and TikTok videos based around the most important themes.

Using what you already have will ensure that you're sending the same message across all of your channels and also save time as you're not starting from zero.

Veronica Green uses blog posts to make videos and emails, which means she doesn't have to come up with a new idea every time she communicates with her followers. YouTube videos can be transformed into images, quotes, social media carousels, and shorter clips, allowing for months of content with no additional work.

If you want to try it yourself Start with a bigger piece of material. Blog posts, long newsletters via email, and YouTube videos work well. Pull out your favorite clips and quotes to serve as a reference base for tweets to come, reels, carousels, and captions.

Scheduling

Dara Sierra from Be Seen Consulting Says, "[I wish I knewthe importance of to batch schedule your content. It can be difficult to post daily and, in the end, you might not post at the planned timing. Using a scheduler has helped me in a variety of ways!"

Scheduling tools let you break up your posts into several days so your content runs consistently regardless of what's going on in the real world.

Expectations realistically

In order to create regularly, you must give yourself reasonable guidelines. It's about deciding on a publication cadence you can manage and selecting an approach you are comfortable with.

In the case of Khe Hy as well as Veronica Green, sending an email newsletter every week is a great way to build connection with the audience. For the Longneckers as well as Em Connors, posting each day was the winning formula.

Your schedule may look different for each channel you use as well. The occupational therapist Maria Lindbergh states, "I've picked avenues that make me happy by writing two newsletters and blog posts a month, publishing once a day on Instagram while also posting every week on YouTube."

There's no definitive rule for how often to write, but you should try to select a schedule which is compatible with your lifestyle and allows you to commit to it long-term.

Choosing the appropriate platform or channel is also key.

You don't have to limit yourself to digital platforms, either.

Paper flower artist Kritchaya Twitchsri-Granati shares, "I made a commitment to  show up at one event per week for a year and see where it takes me. Unknowingly, I connected with other entrepreneurs, and exchanged ideas with them, as well as some of them became clients and friends. I'm now at a higher level to get to know someone new meet them, introduce myself, and talk about my business and has led me to open many opportunities I'd had no idea existed."

Trying to force yourself onto a platform you don't love can be a breaker of consistency. Instead, go with the things that feel natural and enjoyable for you.

Try it for yourself

Consistency helps you determine if you're passionate about something and want to do it full-time. It can improve audience engagement and build trust with your followers by showing your reliability within their lives online.

To ensure consistency Try batching and recycling what you have already done. Plan content ahead so you do not need to worry when things come up. Decide on a sensible publishing frequency and pick the platform that is energizes you.

Let's see a quick experiment you could try to observe the effects of consistent behavior for yourself.

Choose a channel that you would like to grow and create a post goal that has a time limit. Example:

I'll be posting on Instagram every day for thirty days.

I'll send me an email on my email list each Monday for a period of two months.

I will publish a new YouTube video each Tuesday and Thursday for five weeks.

Note down the numbers you have and engagement stats prior to starting, and recheck them when you are done. What was the outcome? You may be surprised at what you learned.
