 1 Time Saving Tip for Busy Bloggers

3 days ago I received an email from someone pitching me a sponsored opportunity.

2 days ago – after I told him of my sponsored post rates – he emailed me back, letting me know he really wanted me to become an affiliate.

Time saving Tip for Busy bloggers
Time saving Tip for Busy bloggers

I emailed back “No thank you.” 3 words.

1 day ago he wrote me a long, in-depth email trying to convince me of his opportunity. After I wrote “No thank you.”

I estimate he spent/wasted 30 minutes unclearly trying to convince someone who’d zero interest in his offering.

He’d have been wiser to spend those 30 minutes reaching out to 5 highly targeted folks by commenting genuinely on their blogs, by promoting them on social media and by helping them in as many ways as possible, to build friendships.

Blogging buddies tend to accept prospering opportunities from trusted friends.

Or blogging buddies promote friend’s prospering opportunities to their friend networks, growing each other’s business.

The biggest time saving tip for any blogger: spend time building your friend network *now* so prospering opportunities multiply exponentially for you down the road.

Pitching?

I have not pitched any blogger on anything in years.

Why?

I spent years building strong friendships with top bloggers, promoting them, endorsing them and commenting genuinely on their blogs.

Business opportunities, profits and traffic flow to me freely now. I waste zero time pitching any blogger, let alone disinterested parties.

I pick and choose opportunities which is effective and efficient, and a massive time saver.

The silly blogger who emailed me 3 times wasted 30 minutes because he was a stranger to me, outside of my direct niche and he had no idea I get emails like that from strangers all the time, all of which I ignore.

Why?

Good blogging friends move to the front of the line when it comes to helping people. When friends speak, I listen. Even if I don’t pursue business partnerships you betcha I promote my blogging buddies, expanding their reach and growing their business.

I ignore strangers who pitch me because they are not genuinely interested in me; they’re only interested in what I can do for them.

Can’t you see why it’s idiotic to waste hours, weeks and months pitching strangers?

Can’t you also see why it’s smart to spend hours, weeks and months building meaningful friendships which lead to steady blog traffic and blogging profit increases over time?

One of the ultimate time saving tips for busy bloggers; promote other bloggers without looking for anything in return to build meaningful friendships. Every second you spend building meaningful bonds pays exponential returns down the road.

Think Beyond Today

  • Get out of Survival Mode.
  • Stop thinking only about how much money you can make today to put a roof over your head and food on your table. Stop blogging to survive because your desperation leads to endless failure.
  • Focus on building strong friendships over the long haul.
  • Promote other bloggers. Endorse other bloggers. Comment genuinely on their blogs.
  • Use time effectively.
  • Build powerful bonds with top bloggers.
  • The returns you’ll see over months and years will be staggering.
  • Save your time.
  • Think beyond today.
  • Be an effective and efficient blogger.

3 Common New Blogger Mistakes and Corrections

I recall being a new blogger.

Equal mixes of joy and dread flooded through my mind.

ALSO READ:4 Tips for Increasing Your Blogging Profits

One minute I visualized myself appearing on Oprah, being interviewed by the billionaire titan. Yep; when I started blogging 10 years ago she still had her wildly popular show.

The next minute I rued investing money in my domain and hosting since I had no clue what in the hell I was doing.

This Jekyll and Hyde act is common among the newbie blogger set, as are the following mistakes.

Identify each error and make the appropriate corrections to cut your newbie learning curve.

 

1: Paper Chasing

I recall chasing that sweet paper back in the day.

Of course whatever you chase, flees.

This is why most new bloggers struggle to make money blogging; their fear of losing money repels the very money they want to acquire.

Turn things around bucko. Focus on your passion, not profits.

Blog your fun. Make blogging mainly about having fun learning blogging, creating content and building bonds with top bloggers.

Money flows in steadily after you passionately and patiently build a solid blogging foundation based on the content you create and connections you establish.

Ratio; devote like 3% of your attention and energy to exploring income streams. Devote 97% of your attention and energy to learning blogging, creating helpful content and building meaningful connections with top bloggers in your niche.

 

2: Not Building an Email List

Although you do not need an email list to be a successful blogger it sure don’t hurt.

Imagine people reading your blog posts from the convenience of their email inbox. Post goes live. A ding sound on your phone. You get your Blogging From Paradise fix within seconds after the post publish date.

Convenient deal for bloggers and their readers; 2 way easy street.

Most new bloggers err in believing that since they have no traffic or readers that list-building is not important.  Au contraire; the reverse is true. New bloggers drive traffic and gain readers by growing an email list.  When you publish new posts you receive instant traffic via folks who get said posts sent to their email inbox.

Do not make the mistake me and most bloggers make as a newbie. Start building your list from Day 1 of your blogging career. Add an opt in form to your sidebar. Use a pop up form if you’d like.

Gain subscribers and grow a blogging community through the convenience of list building.

 

3: No Networking

Not networking kills new blogger careers.

You cannot create a rocking blog in a cyber cave.

Nor can you be your only reader. Unless you crave writing a cyber diary.

Comment genuinely on top blogs. Craft 2-3 paragraph, personalized, authentic comments.

Share blog posts from your new blogging buddies on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus.

Be generous.

Be a friend to become a friend.

Address this most common newbie blogger mistake to run circles around the masses of new bloggers who foolishly try to build thriving blogs through their own effort.

3 Blogging Trust Builders

Trust.

All bloggers want to build this critical currency.

If you are a new or struggling veteran blogger you are in the trust building game.

Blogging-Trust-Builders-allbloggingcoach

Readers need to buy into you before they buy into your blog, your products and your services.

Even if you have yet to go the premium content or services route you need to inspire readers to trust you for them to sign up for your email list.

Building trust is not difficult but requires you to do freeing but sometimes uncomfortable things.

I turbocharged my blogging campaign by doing stuff to boost my trust factor. Traffic, profits, comments, social shares and every aspect of my blogging campaign expanded when I bought into influencing readers to buy into me.

How did I inspire folks to buy into me? I increased my trust factor.

Follow these 3 tips to build blogging trust.

 

1: Live Broadcasts

I am a live video addict.

I do a live broadcast daily on Facebook.

I also do live broadcasts on Periscope and YouTube sometimes, to connect with my readers on a deeper level.

Seeing a living, breathing human being sharing their thoughts and displaying their personality live on video is the ultimate trust building factor. Nothing supersedes live broadcasts because you present yourself in an authentic, raw, vulnerable setting.

Even if you rehearse you still need to be on your toes when folks ask questions or share their thoughts in a live forum.

Live broadcasts give you tremendous confidence throughout your blogging campaign, raising your trust factor through the roof.

Even if you come up a little short in some areas of your blog the simple act of broadcasting live videos persistently inspires your audience to trust you more quickly than a blogger who simply publishes posts.

If you are terrified to do live videos, start offline; record a few practice videos in private. Become comfortable in front of the camera. Embrace how you look and how you sound on camera. After a few practice sessions, go live. Begin practicing in a public setting to gain confidence and clarity in your abilities.

 

2: Podcasts

Podcasts are fabulous trust builders.

Being words on a screen – by solely writing blog posts – creates a sort of barrier between you and your readers. They may dig your blog and buy in on some level but forget that you are human. Creating podcasts makes you more human because readers can hear your voice and feel your personality.

Tackle pressing topics in your niche. Allow your energy to bleed through your recordings. Persistently publish podcasts and don’t forget to set up your RSS to load podcasts on iTunes.

By podcasting regularly you can be a little more human in the eyes of your readers.

 

3: Accessibility

Being accessible through your blog, social media, email and as many online channels as possible makes you trustworthy. If people reach you quickly and easily you gain their trust, by proving that you are a serious, responsive and genuine business person.

On the flip side, not being accessible eats into your trust factor. What does it say if you hide away from folks are do not respond in a timely fashion?

Be on the ball. Do not fall asleep at the blogging wheel. Set up a contact form on your blog. Share your email address and a few social media accounts. Be responsive. Be accessible. Build trust.

5 Tips to Keep It Going with Content Creation

Whether you have a web-based business or promote a product (or service) online, it is content that will propel your efforts. Without focusing on the content creation part of your marketing plan, it’s almost impossible to begin to reach the goals you might have set for your business.

Content-Creation-allbloggingcoach

You’ll need content (and lots of it), if you want to –

  • attract traffic to your site
  • build a following on social media
  • prove that you really know your stuff
  • collect emails from prospects
  • boost your site’s search rankings

Seth Godin says, ‘Content marketing is all the marketing that’s left’. And he has emphasized the point amazingly well.

Check out these content creation statistics:

  • 60% of marketers create at least one piece of content every day. [Source: eMarketer]
  • 78% of marketers agree that custom content is the future of marketing. [Source: DemandMetric]
  • 72% of marketers believe that branded content makes a greater impact than magazine advertisements do. [The Content Council]
  • 69% of marketers say that content is much more effective than direct mail and PR. [The Content Council]

The success potential of content is huge and proven!

You need to create lots of quality content to truly make an impact. It is through content that you can deliver your message and build an emotional connection with your audience. But the problem is that you’ll wrestle with content creation even if you’re a skilled writer. Often, you’ll miss deadlines wondering what to write or blog about next.

It keeps on happening to most of us.

Well, if your struggle with content creation, given below are some of the coolest tips that you can use to get the ball rolling.

By the way, I have created a course specifically to help you with content creation. You can check it out here.

 

Challenge Deeply Held Beliefs

Humans are quite good at assuming things. If you analyze the way most people think in your industry, you’ll come across many assumptions that have been there for a long time. Unchallenged.

Look for them.

Are there any rules that need to change? What are those beliefs that you believe should be discarded? Take a closer look and examine the current state of affairs to come up with such assumptions, and then start asking yourself how it can change. Can those things be done in a different way? If you apply this technique, you’ll definitely generate new ideas that you can use to create fresh and original content that your audience will like to consume.

 

Steal an Idea, and Make It Your Own

Different people have different ideas or opinions. Take a look around and you’ll find lots of interesting ideas.

Go, steal someone else’s idea – just anyone.

Copying someone else’s content and publishing it on your own website or blog is unethical – a punishable offense by the rule of law. But an idea is not the same as a piece of content. Right?

But what you should really do is lift someone’s idea and then cook it in a way that it becomes your own. And how exactly do you make it happen? There are many ways to do that. Pick someone’s idea and explain it with the help of an experience of your own. Write in support of an existing idea or refute it. Or, simply build upon it in your unique way. You can also pick an idea from a different industry and then repackage it to suit the needs of your own target audience or prospects. Not too hard, is it?

 

Share Your Success (or Failure) Story

Success stories have always been in great demand because they come along with valuable lessons of a lifetime.

They tell people what to do.

But stories of failures offer value too because they tell people what not to do. They make people aware of the pitfalls that need to be avoided or the hurdles that need to be dealt with. If you feel like you have exhausted topics for content creation, looking back at how you fared in your journey will equip you with some interesting ideas for your next blog posts.

 

Learn from Your Competitors

Be it any industry or niche, you’re always competing. If you don’t know it yet, find out who your top competitors are. Your top competitors are at the top for a reason. They’re doing their job really well.

And that’s exactly why you should learn from them.

Take a look at the websites of your competitors. What kind of content do they feature? What is their approach to a particular topic? If you dig deeper into their content creation techniques, you’ll learn a lot. Either follow in their footsteps or find new ways to do it better than how they are doing it. Researching and measuring yourself against your key competitors is a surefire way of improving your own content creation and staying ahead of the game.

 

Expand Upon a Popular Quote

Every industry has some of its famous quotes. Look for those quotes that relate to your own industry or niche.

 

Once you have some good industry-relevant quotes at hand, get ready to put your writing skills into action. Understand the meaning of those quotes on a deeper level and then explain it in a way that catches the attention of your target audience and teaches them something that they can use to improve their everyday lives. You can lend more strength to your expression by coupling it with suitable examples or facts.

 

Wrapping It Up

Almost every business owner or marketer struggles to keep pace with the demands of their content creation. To keep it going, you don’t just need lots of good ideas but you also need to plan ahead of time. The techniques or tips that you read about above will definitely equip you with ideas to inspire the creation of a bunch of blog posts for your site. Always remember that content marketing sees the light of the day only when you are consistent with your efforts. And that’s why you need lots of content that feeds the appetite of your audience or prospects for information – and tickles their taste buds too.

4 Tips for Increasing Your Blogging Profits

Who wants more blogging profits?

 Every blogger, of course. 

 If you are struggling to earn your first bucks or want to take it up 5 notches, following a few simple, practice tips can help increase your blogging profits. 

blogging-profits



Before diving into practical tips understand this basic truth: being generous helps you make money blogging. If you appear to suffer from a profit shortage you are likely engaging in a giving shortage. Give more. Cut the strings. Help folks without asking for anything in return. This is an awesome way to prime the blogging profits pump.

RECOMMENDED: 1 Confusing Aspect About MakingMoney Online

 1: Open Multiple Streams of Income


 Open multiple streams of income to increase your blogging profits.

 If you open 1 or 2 income streams you may make some coin. But allowing in cash through 5 or 10 or 15 or more income streams really gets your blogging cash flow popping.

 Add one income stream every three to six months. Learn the stream. Study the channel. 

Earn money through the channel. Keep adding streams to boost your blogging profits over the long haul. Doing so detaches you from any one stream so you focus on offering useful content and building bonds, both activities helping you increase your blogging cash flow.

 2: Build an Email List 


 Building an email list is like boosting your profits on demand.

 At the click of a “send” button you can promote your latest eBook or course or service to a large, targeted list of readers, increasing your blogging cash flow quickly. 

 Grow your list by creating helpful, relevant blog posts. Use an opt in form to capture subscriber emails. 

 Publish valuable newsletters to serve your readers. 

 Sum up every email with a clear cut call to action to grow your blogging business.

 Don’t be shy; ask readers to buy your products or to hire you for your services. Get clear on offering value and receiving money for service rendered to increase your blogging profits.


 3: Publish Guest Posts


 Publish guest posts on top blogs from your niche.

 Help readers.

 Leverage your presence.

 Increase your blogging profits.

 Guest posting is a powerful form of spreading the word for large, targeted audiences.

 When I guest posted on Positively Positive I reached an email list of 80,000 subscribers and a Facebook community of 2.5 million fans. 

 Write 1000 words daily in a Word document for practice. Gain confidence in your writing ability. Allow your writing voice to emerge.

 Comment on top blogs and promote top bloggers to build bonds with these blogging big dawgs. Eventually, you will receive invites to guest post on top blogs from your niche.

 Gobble up these opportunities quickly. Reach a large audience. Drive a steady flow of targeted traffic to your blog. Set the table for increasing your blogging income.

 4: Be Accessible Be accessible.


 Check your email at least once daily.  

Pop by your social media accounts on a daily basis.

 Fielding questions from potential clients and customers is an easy way to boost your blogging profits. 

 Being asleep at the wheel is an easy way to lower your blogging profits because people expect you to be accessible, engaging and responsive.

 Allow readers to contact you easily and seamlessly. Set up a clear contact page on your blog. Check your email frequently. Be engaging on social media. Boost your blogging cash flow.

4 Tips for Submitting Guest Posts to Top Blogs

Guest posting leverages your blog to the hilt.

 Imagine writing and placing a guest post for a blogger like Darren Rowse at Pro Blogger? 

 You’d expose your blog and brand to his 300,000 member community. Crazy traffic and list-building potential there. 

Highly Recommended: Guest Post- 4 Reasons why you need to start writing it

 Standing out enough to land a guestie on a top blog requires you to move into persistent, effective actions. 

 If you put in the work over months and years you can land on virtually any blog in the world.

Guest-Posts


 I have placed guest posts on Pro Blogger, Positively Positive, The Huffington Post and Life Hack among other famous blogs by following these tips. 

 1: Write 1000 Words Daily for Practice


 This is the simplest tip to become a prolific guest poster on top blogs.

 Open a Word document. Write 1000 words daily. Trash the Word document.

 Following this simple practice: 

 ● Improves your writing skills 
● Increases your writing confidence 
● Allows you to find your writing voice 
● Helps you to stand out enough to be featured on famous blogs

 This is a straightforward, clear tip, which is the most important tip on this list. Unfortunately, most bloggers only write if they have a post to publish, making a huge mistake. 

 How can you impress top bloggers if you only write when you publish a new post, when I am writing 1000 to 5000 words daily, or more? I hone my skills so I own my skills and my persistent practice lands me guest posts on world-renowned blogs. 

 2: Build Friendships with Top Bloggers by Serving Them


 Serve top bloggers.

 Don’t ask top bloggers if you can place guest posts on their blog.

 Ask how you can help them. 

 Be generous.Comment on top blogs effectively, publishing 3-4 paragraph, personalized comments to build friendships.Promote bloggers on social media. Feature bloggers on your blog. 

 Patiently help successful bloggers to befriend these blogging big dawgs. Some of your blogging buddies – if you persistently follow step #1 – will invite you to guest post on their blogs. 

 I have only pitched about 5 bloggers out of the 1000 plus guest posts I have placed online. Virtually all guest posting opportunities flowed my way via invites, without me ever reaching out to the blogger to pitch them. 

 This is attraction marketing in action. Help bloggers. Bloggers help you in return. 

 3: Follow Top Blogs to Match the Brand Voice 


 Follow top blogs. 

 Read the posts. 

 Get a feel for the specific writing voice.  

Match the voice with your guest post. 

 Talented but lazy researchers fall flat in this department. Ego deludes them into believing they can write the post in their voice and place it. This strategy works okay for less popular blogs but world renowned blogs and brands have a clear, distinctive voice you need to understand and mimic to place a guest post on a top blog.

 I read posts from top blogs for 1-2 months before submitting a guest post to said blogs. This ensures that I can match the brand voice, whether compassionate, biting, humorous, or serious. 

 4: Be Patient 


 This is not a robotic, linear process. 

 Follow steps 1-3 over months and years to land guest spots on top blogs.

 I had to practice writing daily for years before I became skilled enough and clear enough to land a guest post on the 2.5 million reader community at Positively Positive. 

 You land on top blogs not by luck, or by some cosmic accident, but by persistently practicing your writing and building friendships with top bloggers.

 Most bloggers skip writing practice or networking, which is why most bloggers struggle to land features on top blogs.
