Any success getting customers through blogging?

Things have gone a little stale and I'm looking for new ways to attract new customers to come try out some guided meditation. I've heard blogging can be powerful in the health/wellness space but I'm curious if anyone has had any real luck 🤗

I know this isn't what you are asking about, but maybe it would be helpful to ask your current clients and others what they like about your group and what they would wish for or like more of,  then create an experience around their feedback that you advertise.  Word of mouth/referrals has been my best source of advertising.  Good luck!
I have found most people, including me, don't have the time to read, video's have been much more effective, short ones.  I host a cable show and on one we did an demo on Brain Yoga and people followed along, learned and now knowing how it works are more inclined to go to his studio.  I also meet people through meetups, which has been great.
Have you thought about hosting events, at your studio? You could promote it on social media, maybe have an expert speak or vendors related to your field.
I have seen a few friends with Instagram accounts post daily meditations or thoughts for the day and basically keep a presents. I think it is a slow process, but it does focus your own mind on what kind of client you want to attract. And you kind of have to address what they may need to hear to want them to come in and play. Get to know themselves and be the best they can be. Anything longer than 30 sec. is kind of long. Little invitations with your contact information.  
For me, not yet, but I don't expect blogging to do that. Currently, most of my new clients come from existing client or professional referrals. However, I'm going to be doing free classes soon as part of a direct marketing outreach.  I see social media, including blogging and professional websites, largely as a means for establishing credibility/authority, not primarily as a means of outreach. The media is there for prospective clients to read, after they have decided to check out me and my business, but not as a means to attract them. It's part of what one needs to establish credibility--but does not serve to outreach.  At least in homeopathy that has to come almost exclusively through networking or direct network building with face to face contact first. I don't know if that's helpful, but  I would think that meditation services marketing would be similar. 

What a great question. I think there are a few ways you can attract new and old customers. I use Facebook, LinkedIn, and my blog to solicit interest in my new classes. I write a mindful blod post every week and work hard to make sure it's a few sentences that are super meaningful, partnered with a beautiful picture. The visual (pic) grabs attention so hopefully, the person who received the email reads it. I just used my blog/website to send a notice on an upcoming class in October and had 2 people sign immediately. I have found that being relentless (in a good way) keeps my business in people's mind. I use FAcebook in the same way - I post a bi-weekly, 2 sentence mindful post and I use FB to advertise upcoming classes. I also offer FREE classes every now and then - partnering with local businesses to host the class. Send me an email if you want to talk further since we are in the same business. Good luck. 

Facebook and personal references was the best advertising.  I would have short, information a
bout massage and reflexology,  "did you know" pieces.  
posting about your business or even doing a Facebook live so people can see first hand what it is that you do, is a great way to get the word out about your business. 
I have created a Google business post that attracts business. Also, I have been told to use Instagram (daily videos of meditation practices of you or clients or both).
good luck  
I suggest you review your marketing strategies, see what worked, modify it and use it again. Always ensure you are speaking directly to your target market. Here are some strategies and tactics you can consider:
  • Stay in Touch with your clients
  • ASK your customers to refer new clients
  • Customize your offers
  • Focus on email and social media marketing (a monthly newsletter)
  • Use video and text message marketing, they work (whiteboards)
  • Create interactive content (polls, quizzes, giveaways)
  • Educate your market (Interrupt, Engage, Educate, Offer)
  • Focus on storytelling (tell your story to engage our audience)
  • Blog Marketing 

  • Blog Commenting Marketing Plan
    Go to www.google.com/alert and sign up for a "Google Alert." The top line is labeled “Type.” Using the drop down menu, select Blogs. Be sure you enter your email address on the bottom line.

    Every time you get a Google alert about your topic, go review the alerts and then click into the ones that interest you. Read the blog entry and then simply make a comment to respond to the blog post.

  • Article Marketing 
  • Write an article about the solution to a bad problem that your business solves. Use your primary keyword (topic) in the title and a few times in the article. At the end of the article, create a "resource box" with an offer for more information and include a link to your website. Submit it to EzineArticles.com
