Hey, so you got your blog up and running on Wix. You got all the layout ready to
go and now it's time to actually put some content on there. So I'm going to walk
you through a screen by screen play-by-play tutorial, right here on the
Six Figure Mastermind. Keep watching.
Alright, so it's time to write your post on your Wix blog. I love using Wix. I
love to just take a Sunday afternoon or a Monday morning or whenever I have 15
to 20 minutes that are free and just put some content out there. What I love about
using Wix is that you can... if you like take a few hours and you have a bunch of
content that you want to put together, you can just create scheduled posts. If
let's say if you write seven days worth of blog posts, you can have those pushed
out over the course of the next seven days by scheduling them. I love it. So,
let's just walk through really quickly and I'm going to show you on my screen
right here how to get through Wix and how to write a blog post. Okay? So, I'm
logged in right here on my Wix account and go to www.wix.com. You've already got
your set up. What you'll need to do is go to your sites, okay? I'm going to go to
this site right here and I'm going to say, "okay, I need to add some content to this
site and I need to add a blog post." So, it's going to open up to my sites tab, right
over here and I can say manage and edit site. Once I click on that, it's going to
open up this screen that you saw a just a minute ago. So this is how you got here,
alright? So, what I need to do is click edit site. Now this isn't necessarily
going to make all these different kinds of changes. But I am going to be able to
write another blog post. It's going to take me to a page where I can edit everything
in my site. From the banner to the logo, to the menus, to the buttons, every gadget
and do-that that you have going on on your site. But all I need to do is create
a blog post. So, I'm going to hover over here to these buttons. This is my home base
here and I'm going to click on, "My blog". What do you need to do? We need to add a blog
post. So, once I click on that, it's going to take us over to the page where we manage
all of our blog posts. Now, again, it's easier to do on a desktop than it is on
the mobile device. Although it can be done in both places. I prefer to do it on
a desktop if I, you know, want to make a lot of changes and move things around
and add pieces and HTML and all of that. It's just easier but you also if you
just want to put some content down there and you want to do on your app, we've
created another video for you to walk you through how to do that on your
mobile device. So, first things first I need to create and engaging
title. I'm going to say, "top ten things you
need to know when traveling internationally". Now, I do a lot of speaking
gigs internationally. I travel probably four times a year or overseas. So it's
really, you know, very cool thing for a six-sigure community to know. Say, author
name, I'm just going to put myself on there. Sometimes I have other contributing
authors that help me out with this. If you do have other contributing authors
for your blog that's totally cool, just make sure they're giving themselves
credit. Okay, and then I'm going to start writing my post here and I'm just going to
fill this in with random stuff and then I'm going to create a new line right
here with a divider. Put that in there and then I'm going to say, okay, I'm going to go
bold and say, control B. Bold language and then I'm going to go, number "1". Okay, so
how do i do my numbering system? I'm saying it's the top ten things here. I'm
just going to do it like you normally would on home. So, I'm going to take the bold off
and put in number 1. This is what you need to know. Number 2, this is what you
need to know. Number 3, this is what you need to know, okay? And I can even
take all of these and create little subheadings. So maybe I want to take this
and I want to make it, you know, italicized and you know maybe put an
underline on it. Maybe I want to make it a link to a store. One of my top ten
things you need to know is you need to buy this thing. I can put this link to my
Amazon affiliate if I want or if I can just put it to someone else's affiliate.
Wherever I got the product I would link there. If you are going to do
affiliates, make sure you're putting on your website that you do have an
affiliate link and that you do get a thank you check from wherever you're
getting that affiliate. It's just good business to do that. You can change the
colors here, you can change the justification, left, right, center
alignment. You can change the size here, you can change your default settings
here, whatever you want. Your body of your paragraph to look like. Okay, I usually
just leave it alone. Leave it cohesive for all your posts. I don't really need
that italicize and underline so I'm going to take those off.
Okay, what's so cool about doing this on the desktop, is you can add video. Let's
see if you have a YouTube channel you want to put your video in there. You can
totally click video and put the video in there. You can put that directly from
your YouTube link, okay? You can do video search and add other videos, it's totally
great. You can also just get rid of that. Add a gallery of images if you want,
add a single image if you want. What I like about Wix is you can upload a bunch
of different images directly from your phone to your Wix site. See all
of these that I've already uploaded, they're available to me. So I can just go
ahead and upload those or I can use stuff that's been posted on other posts.
I can also use social images, it will connect to my face... This is so cool you
guys. It connects to my Facebook Instagram, Dropbox, Google Drive, Flickr and
Google Photos. All automatically. This is going to save you so much time, okay? It's
also going to give you free images directly from Wix. So if you're cool using stock
footage, they have that available. Also from Shutterstock you can purchase
images using Shutterstock if that's something that you want to have on your
site, okay? Now, for a blog post. I don't think that's really necessary. But you
can use it if you like it. Okay, so here's the cool part. You can save this is a
draft, you can publish the post or you can click this this little downward
arrow and say schedule post. So if I just hammer out a bunch of content in one day
and say I want to publish once a week, I can hit that scheduled post feature and
I can tell it when to schedule those posts for. Before I publish, I can
preview it. I always, always, always recommend doing that. You can make it a
featured post which means it's going to bump it up to the top of your page. Also,
add tags. If this is something that and the reason we want to add tags is to
make it easily searchable on Google. So top ten things you need to know about
traveling, I would tag travel, I would tag travel for business,
I would tag helpful hints. Lots of different tags to put in here. You can
also... if you also have a related post already up on your blog, you can have the
related post be shown at the end of this blog post to kind of drive readership to
your blogs and have people stay on your site a little bit longer, okay? So when we do
that, we're going to either click publish or click post. You know,
This is really cool. I accidentally clicked off this post but
Wix was like, "hey, Marianne I got your back."
We're going to save this for you. So it saved it automatically as a draft. Now, if
you watch our other videos, you'll see that I created a couple extra drafts on
my phone just in those videos and it's already saved them as mobile drafts
right here. Thank You Wix. You got our back. That's awesome, okay? So this is what
is available here and when you're ready to post it, all you need to do is click
post. You're going to be able to see it on your website up for everyone to see.
Share it on social media platforms. Let everyone get to do some comments and
some feedback on your post and you know it's going to give you some really great
statistics when you do that. It's going to track all that information for you.
See what people are liking, see how people want more of, see what people
don't want to see. Using Wix is a great platform for design and for pushing your
content out there in a really beautiful way. Okay, get those posts out there.
Sometimes that can be the scariest thing. Just push that aside. Get your content
