Have you ever asked yourself that question?

Bloggers are among today’s most powerful marketers.

As a Blogger, you are an active leader in your respective niche. You’re always creating ways to leverage your following that continues to help build your massive brand.

Bloggers form partnerships, advertise for companies, and ultimately monetize their popularity on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and more.

And though your self-made social brands are successful on several social media websites, you may be unknowingly introducing brand-crushing danger to the empire you’ve worked so hard to build.

Dangers of Social Media Influencing

Total platform dependency.

Because even if you’ve done well enough to make it as a Blogger, you are still at the mercy of whatever social media network you use.

Vine failed.

Myspace failed.

Google Plus is decaying.

…and other websites are gradually losing their value.

If the platform you use starts to fade, where do you and your followers go? Can you afford not to have a backup plan?

7 Reasons Bloggers Need an App

Here’s how you can stay both independent and relevant with an app made just for Bloggers. And it all starts with converting your blog to an app.

1 – Control Your Own Platform

In January 2018, YouTube announced a few new changes to its YouTube Partner program.

Previously, anyone could join and monetize their channels so long as they had original content and met a few other requirements.

With the new updates, YouTube now requires users to meet stricter standards to qualify, which now also affects existing partners.

This means even longstanding users of the platform will lose status and income if they’ve suffered a dip in subscribers or failed to meet other criteria.

By turning your Word Press website into an app, you’re creating your own backup plan that’s more intuitive and engaging than a website.

The Blog to App Platform puts these niche leaders in the driver’s seat of their own brands. And for many Instagram users, this is a welcomed breath of fresh air.

Given the platform’s reputation for spontaneously deleting accounts with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of followers, a custom app for Bloggers might just be the solution they need.

2 – Sell Your Products and Services on A Mobile Platform

In addition to running ads or promoting products, many Bloggers have found ways to branch out into product and service sales as well.

Bloggers who have already made the switch to The Blogger Platform now find that they have an open door to more targeted sales.

Think about it this way:

• Your followers trust your opinion for products and services they are already interested in.
• On a mobile app, they’re not only the first to see the new releases they’ve asked for
• Your followers are most likely to buy because they trust you to continue to listen to their needs and provide the quality product or service offerings consistent with your brand

Delivering consistent quality is key here.

But there’s no better way to do that than with an affordable app made just for your brand.

3 – Distinguish Your Voice as A Blogger

What sets you apart from every other social media user?

Your follower count?

Or, do you (hopefully) have something more meaningful?

With any luck, the sake of your brand isn’t completely reliant on how many people have clicked the “follow” or “subscribe” buttons on your profiles.

Because if so, there isn’t much separating you from the next Blogger with similar stats on the same platforms.

With your own mobile app, you can distinguish your brand from the many other competing Bloggers that occupy the same space.

Converting your website into an app allows you to create your own lane and more importantly, solidify your brand in the face of growing competition.

4 – Better Engagement with Your Community

When you need to share a special or urgent update, how do you do it?

Do you make a general post for all to see?

Or do you call or text your selected few to let them know the news?

The Blog to App Platform for Bloggers works like the latter. It allows you to communicate directly to users who truly want to hear about your important updates.

More importantly, it allows you to spend the most time and resources on those who care the most about your brand.

Your app users are the members of your audience who want to stay connected, and can now do so with a direct line to you and your company.

And as an experienced Blogger, you likely know just how important engagement is to your fans, sponsors, and business model.

With the Blogger Platform, you can increase engagement all by simplifying your life. Another hidden bonus to being a Blogger, since there are few other career paths that allow this level of flexibility.

5 – Grow Your Brand Sustainably

Many Bloggers make the mistake of growing their following entirely on a single social media platform.

While there’s nothing wrong with gaining a few more Instagram or Twitter followers, there is an issue with growing an audience entirely on “rented land.”

Here’s the typical workflow for a Blogger:

• Promote on social media
• Negotiate over Skype or the phone
• Send and sign agreements via email
• Research and curate content for audience and/or sponsor
• Promote curated content on all social media platforms and website
• Engage with the audience
• Manage return on promotion and payments
• Etc.

And, of course, repeat.

Not to mention you’ll need to do this on at least 5 different websites or apps to keep operations going.

Imagine streamlining all or most of your workflow to grow your brand on a single app.

The Blogger Platform does just that. And you can see it for yourself here.

6 – No More “Pay to Play” with Facebook

There’s also a major cost difference between a social media app and a blog to app platform.

Want to promote your latest video?

Or maybe grab the attention of new fans with promotional images or blog content?

Word of mouth is one method, but it will only get you so far.

For websites like Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, or search engines like Google or Bing, reaching a new audience means setting up costly ads that may be less effective than you think.

In fact, research and advisory firm Forrester found in 2017 that mobile apps convert visitors into buyers at about 6%.

That’s almost double the rate of tablets (3.3%) and nearly than triple the rate of mobile browsers (2.3%).

With your very own Blogger media app, you get your first month free followed by stable flat rate pricing for an ROI that’s higher than the methods you currently use to connect to your fan base.

Again, another total win.

7 – And Finally, No More Algorithms

Much to the frustration of many, social media platforms are constantly changing the way their programs work.

Like any other kind of business, these platforms need to continue to evolve their businesses. So while the process is inconvenient, it’s a necessary part of the deal you make with social media that’s not likely to stop any time soon.

Instagram’s last few changes are a prime example.

The sudden Instagram algorithm updates took their users by surprise which, unfortunately for Bloggers, caused quite the frenzy.

Similar updates often cause them to suffer sudden dips in income as they scramble to learn the new model and restructure their content distribution.

Since the Blog to App Platform is made to fit your brand’s personal needs, the customized mobile app runs based on your rules, not another ever-changing algorithm system.

It all boils down to this: it’s your app, so they’re your rules.

Final Thoughts

The Blogger Platform makes it so you can adapt on your own terms when you want, where you want.

This Platform is quickly growing to become the new version of the “mailing list” of 2020 and beyond.

As a Blogger, you’ve likely mastered the art of growing your following.

After all, you’ve worked incredibly hard on your brand up until this point growing your social media followers. It’s not likely you got those tens, to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of followers by accident.

But do you know how to get them to connect to your fully independent, customized branded app?

As of now, you know how to ask people to connect to your social network profiles.

For starters, you’ll need your own mobile app.

Why Bloggers Should Covert Blog to App

It’s the best way to connect with both your sponsors and audience and ensures you keep your following independent, and your brand on your own terms.

After all, social media websites come, go, and change drastically every few years.

And if your account got disabled, suspended, or worse, permanently hacked where would your audience go to connect with you?

After you’ve scheduled your demo, created your Mobile App, and published it, you’ll need to increase engagement on the platform that you’ve created.

You may be wondering how you should go about marketing an app to your followers.

9 Tips to Get Users to Download Your App and Use it Everyday

1 – Provide Exclusive Content for Your Users

Your brand as a Blogger offers something unique to your followers.

Maybe you share little-known life hacks, or perhaps you give actionable tips on photography, recipe creation, beauty, or travel.

Whatever you do as a Blogger, it should be consistent, original, and exclusive enough to grab your audience’s attention.

Creating an independent mobile app and curating exclusive content for it is an excellent way to get more visits per download.

Users will appreciate knowing they’re among the few with limited access to the “extra secret” stuff, which can ultimately increase engagement over time.

2 – Give Discounts on In-App Product Purchases

One of the best ways to engage with your Mobile App users is to offer them discounts for purchasing your products or services through the app.

You can still offer the products and services elsewhere, but reserve special discounts for the followers who show a key interest in your brand.

These kinds of deals are especially common in mailing lists where the company or brand only sends coupon codes to their list subscribers.

Offering a similar incentive makes your targeted audience of social media users all the more likely to download your app and remain engaged.

3 – Make Your App The #1 Place to Connect with You

Do you have your favorite singer, actor, or author on speed dial?

Well, maybe not.

But wouldn’t it be awesome if you did?

For the down-to-earth Blogger, enabling direct communication with your followers is a phenomenal tactic to not only increase engagement but to earn a special place in the hearts of your audience.

Think about it this way…

If you wanted to get in touch with say, Oprah would you:

1. Send a tweet to her enormous never-ending Twitter feed or,
2. Send her a message through the app she made specifically to connect with you?

Which do you think would receive the most engagement?

And more importantly, which do you think her fanbase (and yours) would be most likely to use?

(Hint: it’s definitely the app)

Making your app the best place to connect with you is a top way to get users to download your app.

4 – Share App Content to All Your Social Media Platforms

This may seem like a no-brainer, but we often see Bloggers dominate their market on one social media site, while completely and utterly neglecting the others.

A YouTuber might forget to use their Instagram accounts, or may purposely neglect their other profiles because cross-channel content sharing is too time-consuming.

Regardless of what kind of content you specialize in, there’s a way to customize it so that it is platform-friendly on every website you use.

After creating your exclusive mobile app content, offer teasers where possible across all your social media accounts.

This will make the most of your impressions and reach driving daily visits to your customized app. Plus, it will increase the number of downloads for your app.

5 – Promote Your App on Your Social Media Platforms

We’ve talked about content, now let’s discuss the app itself and how to market your app successfully.

With the Blog to App Platform, you can expect two things:

1. You can anticipate a higher return on your investment
2. It will streamline your work processes and get more done sooner.

It should then follow that by drawing your audience to your app, you can boost user engagement and drive sales.

This, of course, comes in addition to being a huge time saver, especially when you already have so much to manage.

All of this to say that it is in your best interest to make a point to mention your app in all of your already popular posts, videos, or blogs to encourage more downloads.

You may be surprised to see how happy your social media followers are to connect with you on a level that’s almost entirely untapped by other competing Bloggers.

Being one of the few with an app already puts you ahead of the game.

And you can further leverage your social media presence to make the app work for you by simply giving it a shout out in the content you make.

6 – Have Others Promote Your App for You

Part of being a Blogger revolves heavily around partnerships.

You make connections, partnerships, and most importantly, friendships with people who share your interests and industry.

And depending on the nature of your relationship, you may be able to ask some of the most reliable people in your network to assist in promoting your mobile app.

While that may not always be possible with people you don’t have a rapport with yet, being friendly and transparent in your requests may sway them to action.

Most of all, and this is a big one, avoid being pushy at all costs.

No one likes to be forced into anything, and you shouldn’t set expectations they did not offer.

Instead, offer to sponsor the posts, if necessary, or trade brand exposure with a collaboration project.

Focus on making this project a win-win for both teams to strengthen your business relationships as well as instilling some good faith in your friendships.

7 – Offer Giveaways, Raffles, Or Other Freebies

Another timeless way to increase your app’s downloads and engagement is to offer special incentive events.

Incentives such as:

• giveaways
• raffles
• other creative freebies generated specifically for your audience

Are you a Food Blogger?

Offer a special beauty basket you’ve personally made by hand.

Do you share DIY home improvement hacks on YouTube?

Raffle away a special toolkit from one of your sponsors.

The key is to make downloading your app part of the requirements to enter the sweepstakes.

And if done correctly, you’ll notice a huge difference in engagement on your app.

Remember that once the sweepstakes is closed, your work won’t stop there.

Be sure to deliver great content your new social media followers can enjoy weekly if not daily.

If you start slacking in that department, there’s little chance you’ll retain all the new engagement you’ve worked so hard to create.

8 – Encourage Community Building on Your App

This point is a fairly straightforward one.

Simply put: stop viewing your followers as just followers.

Some of the most successful Bloggers didn’t just build brands, they built online communities.

You may notice that on Facebook pages and in the comments found below Instagram posts, social media users aren’t just speaking to the owner of the profile—they’re speaking to each other.

Applying this same sense of community on your app is another excellent way to ensure daily visits from your app users.

When users come to your app to help add value to the community you’ve all helped build, they’re all the more likely to stay engaged and make the app a great resource everyone can use.

Word of mouth throughout your community is the BEST way to attract users to download your app.

9 – Provide Value to Your Customers

Lastly, and most importantly, it’s important you add value to your customers or users.

Quickly name an app you use every day.

Is it a social media app?

Maybe it’s a scheduler?

Perhaps it’s the texting/messaging app on your phone?

Or maybe it’s something as simple as your camera.

Whatever it is, you probably use the app as frequently as you do because, in one way or another, that app offers you some kind of value.

In your own special way, you should focus on doing the same for your mobile app users.

• What can you provide that makes it so that they will want to use your app?
• How can you add value to their lives so that they find themselves opening the app often?

Even if you do nothing else, you should always build your app around value.

Most of the rest will fall into place as it should.

Final Thoughts

I hope this guide helped you on your journey of getting users to download your app. The key for positive reviews and a successful app launch is to provide exclusive, valuable content to your audience.

Perhaps your purpose is to make a positive impact on your community, build your brand, and grow your followers.

If so, converting your website to an App may be for you.

One of the main reasons Bloggers like you are considering mobile apps is to build brand awareness and to stand out from the competition.

But if you think mobile apps are for big name brands only, you’re wrong.

More and more entrepreneurial Bloggers are turning their websites into an app, because they know it’s risky to build your brand, your following, on “rented” social media property.

Build Brand and Recognition with Your Own Mobile App

A mobile app can solidify your Blogger brand in two ways:

Brand

Your mobile app is like a blank billboard.

You can make it stylish, fun, hip, functional, educational, or transformative. But you need to make sure your app has features your followers love while being personally branded and beautifully designed.

Recognition

The more often your followers are involved with your app, the more trust you build, then the sooner they will buy your product and/or service. This creates “customer awareness” of your brand.

Having your own mobile app means you can focus on giving value to your real fans.

In case you’re not sure why a Blogger would want to convert their website into a native app, here are the top five ways an app can solidify your brand as a Blogger.

Why Converting Your Blog to an App Improves Your Brand and Gives You Authority

1 – Improves Engagement with Your Followers

Having your own personalized mobile app is a game changer because you can directly engage with your followers in the app so that you’ll always be connected with your tribe.

A well-designed app builds relationship with your followers on a different level from social media or interaction on your website. And you can improve engagement by sending notifications so you can reach your followers 24/7.

Not only that, you can sync your app with social media to help your followers share content with their friends, extending your brand further.

2 – Will Boost Mobile E-Commerce Traffic and Monetizing Your Business

Imagine being able to monetize your content, knowledge and expertise through your own personalized app. Now it’s possible.

A personalized brand-focused e-commerce app makes it easy for your followers to shop while building your brand.

And even if they are not on your app, your logo is a constant reminder on their mobile screens. This means you’re building trust, brand recognition and an excellent mobile experience.

Converting your website into an app will make a difference to your business by making it simple for your followers to:

• review your courses
• check product availability
• receive special offers
• make purchases

3 – Creates a New Marketing Channel for Your Business

Instead of focusing on social media platforms to build your brand, one of the biggest benefits of your own mobile app is that all the information you want to give your followers is always at their fingertips.

Push Notifications are the new Email Newsletters

Through push notifications, you’re interacting and reminding your followers about your brand, your products and services. You’re giving your followers exactly what they want when they want it.

This is app marketing made easy.

And by having your mobile app in the App Store or Google Play, you globally expand your reach with another marketing channel.

What’s more… getting your brand, name, logo, or tagline in front of your followers is a useful marketing strategy that can boost your brand recognition.

4 – Helping You Provide Better Customer Service to Your Followers

Your mobile app can make it easy to deliver customer service instantly and seamlessly. This means you’re more likely to keep your followers happy and coming back again.

Although social media is a good way to connect, message and give support to your followers, apps now provide an innovative channel of communication.

Having your own mobile app demonstrates that you’re committed to taking care of your followers’ needs because you can provide fast support through chats, public discussion forums or private groups.

This shows them that you care and want to help.

And when customer satisfaction increases, your sales will too. Best of all… you’ll receive message notifications to always stay connected to the heart of your community.

5 – Be Visible to Followers… Always

Having your own App makes you visible to your community because you control the content, reach and engagement with your tribe.

Even if your followers aren’t regularly using your app, if they have your app downloaded on their phone, they’re going to see it every time they look through their apps.

This means you’re constantly visible and they’ll be reminded that you exist.

How to Stand Out from Your Competition

It’s still rare, these days, for every Blogger and entrepreneur to have their own mobile app. Now is the time you can be ahead of your competitors.

Be the first in your niche to offer a mobile app to your followers.

They’ll be astonished by your forward-thinking approach! You’ll be seen as innovative and someone who is a first adopter of this new way of content marketing.

And when someone is interested in your articles, courses, events, products or services, you can tell them to download your app.

They’ll instantly know that you’re a successful business because you have an app.

So be bold… be a Blogger with an app for your followers and see what it does for your brand and your business.

As a creative Blogger, you want to make a positive impact on your community. You have a purpose to share and inspire others. Plus, monetize your knowledge too.

But, perhaps like others you’ve seen come and go, you’re worried that one day, you too will be forgotten.

Your brand will die out.

You’ll lose your influence.

After all, have you stopped to think what would happen to your precious community if Instagram or Facebook, YouTube or Twitter went away tomorrow?

Would you still have a business?

And look at what’s already happened…

Vine failed, Myspace failed, and even Google Plus failed!

Facebook is in trouble. Twitter is quickly losing its value.

Let’s face it… as an entrepreneurial Blogger, you know it’s risky to build your brand, your following, on “rented” land.

What’s more…

Traditional social media attracts your spectators, competitors, haters as well as your fans.

Imagine if it was possible for you to have your own app better than Instagram that was only for your tribe, your supporters, and your raving fans?

What about a platform you could use to convert your blog into an app?

How much more confidence, peace of mind and freedom would you feel knowing your community will continue to grow with your influence?

One Way to Control Your Influence Is with Your Own Mobile App

Converting your blog to an app is for you if your tribe wants to connect directly to you and with like-minded people. Plus, having your own mobile app means you can focus on your real fans.

Take them away from traditional social media into your own platform in order to nurture, inspire and influence them.

And best of all…

…with your own app, you’ll be able to isolate and leave behind the spectators, competitors and haters.

5 Benefits of Having an Instagram Alternative App

1 – Monetize Your Knowledge

You can monetize your content, knowledge and expertise through your own personalized app.

You’ll have a single platform to share, sell and deliver your content, products and services while linking directly to your eCommerce site for secure payment.

Imagine… efficiently teaching and inspiring your community through your courses, books, merchandise, consulting services, live events, webinars straight from your app.

2 – Stay Connected with Your Followers Easily

Social media platforms are saturated with tons of Bloggers and Influencers who aren’t there for the right reasons. That’s why there’s a lack of engagement on social media content.

With your own personalized mobile app, you can share your content, your message, and your knowledge directly within your community.

This platform will become your “NEW” interactive email list since you will always be connected with your tribe.

Making this platform the perfect alternative to Instagram for Bloggers.

3 – Take Control of What Your Followers See and Grow Your Reach and Engagement

If you’re not keeping up with the algorithm changes to Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms, then your content isn’t getting seen.

Having your own app gives you control of what your community sees. You control the content, reach and engagement with your tribe.

 4 – Increase Your Engagement Through Chat

On your customized Blogger app, you’ll have the option of engaging and connecting directly with your community through chats.

You can Jump into public discussion forums or in private groups to find out what your tribe wants to hear more about. This keeps you in the loop and you’ll never have to worry about if your followers are finding your content.

Best of all, you’ll receive message notifications that will help you stay connected to the heart of your community.

5 – Manage Content, So Your Followers Get the Best from You

One of the best things with having your own app is that each member of your community can set filters only to get the content they really want to see from you.

This means you’ll always stay relevant to your audience.

Plus, the exclusive content you provide to your readers will make them feel special and have them coming back to your app day-after-day.
