What It's About
A listener wants to help separated couples learn about the U.S. visa process. How can she promote her blog and services?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1329
I got a great question today about how to market and grow a blog focused on information for couples where one of them is living outside the country. This longtime listener is an immigration attorney who’s starting a series of courses for couples separated by borders. The blog is going to support the business, but she’s struggling a bit with it. I always get excited when I hear about listener projects, and I also feel good when I have a good answer for their question, and I think this is helpful for a lot of other listeners."Hi, Chris. This is Katie from Boulder, Colorado, and I've been listening to this show since the beginning. I'm a self-employed immigration lawyer and my side hustle is Honey Visa School, which is a series of online courses to help people bring their partner to the United States on either a fiancee or a spousal visa without hiring a lawyer. My question is, I know there's a market for this service, but how do we get the word out and grow my following? I created a blog for Honey Visa School, but I'm struggling to promote it. How does a blog become popular, especially when the topic is personal and not something a lot of readers are going to repost on social media? Also, I've previously marketed my firm through informative talks to community organizations. But I'm not sure how to adapt this for my side hustle because of the pandemic. Have you heard of anyone doing this successfully? Thanks. And I look forward to hearing your thoughts."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
