What’s one way to drive traffic to your website, engage people on social media, and be a part of something bigger for the holidays? Today we talk about creating an online holiday gift guide, with exclusively your products or your products along with others.
Gift guides are great content for a website (or other places) for the following reasons: Reason One: It takes time and research to make so not many people will do it.
Reason Two: Searchable content (good for SEO) that gives you lots of social posting inspo.
Reason Three: Involves other people so increases your reach and engagement… and builds relationships!
Reason Four: Potential money making opportunity in the way of affiliates. Note: You MUST disclose this.
