This is because my niche is millennials aged 18-35 \u2013 who all use these platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Having a blog means I can write on a variety of yoga and lifestyle topics. And then I can promote these articles on both Instagram and Facebook to drive people to my website.<\/p>\n<p>Although Twitter is popular social media amongst this demographic, I decided to discount it as I don\u2019t use it personally. Infrequent tweets would be a waste of time and energy, as they wouldn\u2019t get noticed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Share what lights you up<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s important to create content that\u2019s authentic! Authenticity offers real value as this will attract a loyal following that will enrol in your online course and book your retreats.<\/p>\n<p>Authenticity comes across when you write about the things you\u2019re truly passionate about. It could be yoga anatomy, chakras, self-love, personal development&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Tap into the topics you love and write with passion and you\u2019ll better connect and resonate with your ideal students.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is about understanding your ideal student and your niche because it\u2019s vital not to fall into the trap of writing for the masses. This can come across bland and boring which won\u2019t stand out on people\u2019s social media feeds and will fade into the background.<\/p>\n<p>Instead focus on the things that inspire you, which in turn will inspire like-minded readers who align with your teachings.<\/p>\n<p>This often feels difficult at first, however it becomes easier with time. Stepping up and shining your true self stands out against a million other carbon copy accounts that people cannot relate to.<\/p>\n<h3>Build your community of ideal students<\/h3>\n<p>A study carried out by Coles College of Business found that \u201cDigital Natives\u201d (<em>those born between 1981 and 2000 who have grown up in the Digital Age<\/em>) are more likely to interact with online accounts that make them feel they\u2019re part of a community of like-minded people.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Those who actively use social media like to take part in discussions and feel they\u2019re able to share their opinions with others online. One way of allowing people to do this is to ask open questions in your social media captions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>You should regularly comment, like and interact with other accounts to show followers you\u2019re active within the community. Taking time to reply to comments and messages shows your audience that you truly value them and are interested in what they have to say.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>By using social media wisely you\u2019re able to create a huge amount of free advertising and content that people can access at any time all around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Creating your own authentic voice and message that others can resound with is hugely important and can have a massive effect on your business.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Guest Writer: Megan Keith<br \/>\nSocial Media for Yoga Teachers<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>A Vinyasa teacher, passionate for teaching others the importance of self-love, self-care and promoting positive mental health for those struggling with conditions like anxiety and depression.
