Well, the rule is, the rule of seven.

It’s the rule that you cannot break.

If you think about marketing, it’s changed over time.

You used to be able to build a business from just one channel.

If you look at Facebook, they grew by sending you e-mails, being like, your friend invited you to Facebook.

If you look at Dropbox, they were all over social media.

Share this on Twitter to get more free space.

If you look at a lot of other companies, they grew through one channel, like let’s just say Google AdWords or SEO.

But you can no longer grow through one company.

The other thing that you’ll find is, even if you find a few channels that are working out, you have so many competitors these days, that just hitting people once, won’t cause enough conversions.

From all the data that we’ve looked up at content marketing, social media marketing, even AdWords.

People need to see your brand roughly seven times, technically I’m holding up eight fingers, but seven times before they end up converting into a customer. So once they see you seven times, interact with your brand, they’re much more likely to convert.

Now, let’s break down how you can leverage the rule of seven.

One, be on the social wagon.

When you’re on the social wagon people have comments, questions, you can be there to answer and interact with them.
That’s a great way.

Not just posting content on these social sites, but also interacting, taking the time to respond to comments, helping them out, responding to their messages.

That’s the first thing you need to do.

The second thing you need to do is leverage SEL.

By being visible on the search engines, more people are going to see you.

They’re going to see your company.

They’re going to see your brand.

You’re going to do better.

And you can do things like content marketing.

You can do things like social media marketing, link building, interlinking.

They all help, but SEO is very valuable.

Google’s the most popular site in the world.

If you’re not there, you’re not going to get as many eyeballs.

The third thing I want you to do is leverage paid ads.

Not just on Google, but also Facebook, Taboola, Outbrain, banner ads, media buys. Any form of ads.

You can go over to Facebook and click on Info and Ads.

So you’re going on Facebook to any of your competitor’s fan page, click on Info and Ads, and you can see the ads that are running.

This will give you a head start.

You can also use tools like Ubersuggest to see where your competitors are getting traffic from.

This will help you also get a head start.

The fourth thing I want you to do is update your content.

You already know content marketing’s effective.

You’re writing content, but what very few people are doing is updating their content.

You’ll find that if you just write content and stop writing it, eventually your rankings will keep dwindling down and down. Why?

If you don’t keep your content up-to-date, you won’t continue to rank, and people won’t keep seeing you.

The last thing I want you to do is keep sharing your content.

You know you’re already on these social sites.

People are already seeing your stuff when you post, but not everyone does. The algorithms are so restrictive, it’s very rare that even ten, twenty percent of your audience is going to see whatever you post.

So might as well share that same piece of content three, four, five times over the course of a year.

It’ll help you get more juice from that same piece of content. In essence, you’re continually sharing, you’re continually repurposing it.

That’ll help you get more eyeballs, more people back.

And as a bonus tip, use tools like Hello Bar and Subscribers to keep getting people back to your site because once they land there, through push notifications and e-mails, you can get people to come back to your site.

Which will cause you, in the long run, to get people in touch with your site seven times, in touch with your brand seven times, to engage with your brand seven times, to engage with you seven times, and hopefully, buy your product or service.

  1. Thank you Neil for reminding me of the Rule Of Seven. I have heard of it in the past. My problem is discipline, I find it hard the break away from all the cares of daily life and distractions to knuckle down and create my content. Does anyone have suggestions that will help?

  2. Hey Neil
    It's not been 24 hours of your video but I had one question… Info & ads has been removed from the Facebook probably last week then why u did use that…!!!!??
    Most importantly your videos are really informative and give so much information and tips thanks for that! šŸ™‚

  3. Hi Neil, I'm a fresher and want to be a full time blogger. But I'm confused, which of these scenarios will you suggest

    Scenario 1:
    Planning niche, and start blogging ASAP( within a week), and then start learning SEO, SMM, and other tactics reading a lot . In this case I might be able to write only one article per month as I have to learn a lot too and is a newbie in writing also , but gradually, within an year, I could increase the posting frequency to 3 posts per weekšŸ˜and even more on a consistent basis.

    Scenario 2: Wait and start learning keyword research, and other SEO methods, how to promote blog through SMM etc and plan some content ideas beforehand, and then may be within 3-4 months build a wordpress website and start blogging. In this case, I might be able to post 2 articles per week in the begining itself and gradually increase it along with learning more and more šŸ˜

  4. Terrific info Neil, as always. Wondering where the number 7 came from? Plenty of anecdotal evidence that frequency is super important. I'm just wondering why 7 and not, say, 5, or 11, or whatever. Would love to see the research study(s) behind this. Much appreciated.
