The Art of Social Writing – Download E-Book by Orifunke Lawal
The Art of Social Writing is a guide for everyone who wants to take the bull by the horns and build their social writing skills. The book is basically me making the whole process as simple as possible for you so you can start to build your brand online.
Following my recovery from a terrific illness and enjoying the first few days of my leave from work, I decided to set out to writing something that a lot of people have asked me to teach them. As a social media writer, I get a lot of requests from people who want me to show them how I am able to come up with enlightening, audacious, sometimes humorous posts and how they can also implement the same for themselves.
I also took a survey early this year asking people what they’d like me to teach them if they had the opportunity to choose and more than a few mentioned they’d basically like to know how to write the way I write and have a loyal following on social media.
So, if you have always wondered what principles I follow when it comes to building my personal brand through social writing, how I get opportunities from social media and how I am able to get people looking forward to my posts, then this is for you.
In the 55-paged book, I have tried to cover major topics I get asked questions on a lot like:
– How to start writing on social media even if you’re not a pro.
– What kind of content to create and a few ideas for you.
– Why you should take advantage of storytelling and how to start.
– And more, really.
At the end of some chapters, I have also included a form of exercise sheet that you can download and print out to help you gain more clarity while reading.
Does this sound like a book you’d need? I gotcha! ??
To download, just click on this link: DOWNLOAD THE ART OF SOCIAL WRITING and have your copy delivered to your inbox. If you do not find it in your inbox in ten minutes, check your promotions folder and move it to your Primary tab. Cheers!
P.S: And oh, it’s free! Yes, I know it’s crazy but it’s absolutely free. You’re welcome!
WhatsApp Blast: How to Organize, Market & Monetize WhatsApp Classes
Your Total Guide for Making Money on WhatsApp
I organized my first WhatsApp class three years ago… fearfully. I had felt a need to teach a number of individuals and brands how to use Twitter. I mean, I could use Twitter very well, knew the ropes and wanted to help other people know what I knew too. Right?
But I had an issue. I didn’t know if anybody would want to join an online class in learning how to use Twitter. Let alone even pay for it. I really felt there was someone out there who needed what I had to offer but I was scared of putting myself out there. Safe to say, I was scared of failing.
But I just told myself, “If nobody enrolls for my class, what would it remove from my life?” And that was the personal motivation I needed to put the word out there.
So I embarked on this journey. I did a design on Canva to help communicate what my Twitter class would be about and I shared it on my Facebook and Instagram pages. Before I knew it, I started having comments and messages. I almost couldn’t believe it. It was scary and crazy at the same time.
And with that, I organized my first WhatsApp class.
Since then, I have organized personal paid public and private classes on WhatsApp that have turned out very well in terms of participants and, of course, income.
Having organized regular WhatsApp classes, it baffles me as to why not many people have regular WhatsApp classes yet. With how much they’ve helped me in selling relevant products of mine and building networks with people I initially didn’t know, I don’t know why many people aren’t thinking in that direction yet.
- Make money easily and without stress
- Start with zero capital
- Grow your list so that you can keep selling and making money easily
- Increase your network so that people can refer you to others
- Develop thought leadership
- Say bye to being broke forever!
What Will You Learn?
If you buy this ebook, I am going to be teaching you how to:
1. Overcome your fear of organizing a WhatsApp class, whether free or paid.
2. Turn your interests, skills and/or ideas into topics that you can teach.
3. Decide if your topic ideas are sellable so that you do not waste time or money organizing a class that NOBODY will pay for. This is called validating your topic idea.
4. Set up your class like a Pro so that those enrolling can trust and respect you, long after the class.
5. Create publicity strategies for marketing your class.
6. Find, create and package excellent and useful content in various forms for your class participants.
7. Get people to pay for your class.
8. Convert your class into an online community of people who will always want to answer to you, your services or your products.
P.S: I would also be following you up and seeing to it that you actually organize your first class. Promise!
