As an entrepreneur, blogging is one of the fastest, most effective ways to build authority in your industry.
It takes more than a few blog posts to build your platform. Whether you’ve been blogging for a while, or just started posting, there is one secret I guarantee you will improve, no, dynamically transform your blog.
Give something up.
TV. Movies. Extra sleep. Video games. Mindless phone activity. A pointless hobby. Whatever it is, trading a meaningless (or at least, a less meaningful) time-clogger for a dedicated time block to develop fresh content for your business blog will be a priceless investment.
I now wake up 45 minutes earlier specifically to blog. I love sleeping and we all know how hard it is to get out of a warm bed, especially with how frigid it’s been lately. It doesn’t matter. I’ve carved out my early mornings because building a high quality blog is that vital to my platform. My audience is growing larger and faster because I’ve made blogging a priority.
Blogging is just like every other discipline: it takes time, dedication, and focus. The more you can eliminate from your field of distractions, the better attention you can put towards your blog. As someone who’s posted 600 blog posts over the past three years, believe me, once your blog is a priority, the experience is almost incurable.
Sometimes it takes a meeting or two with a blog coach to kickstart your next season of blogging. I’ve worked with bloggers across the country to help their blogs gain traction and see their readership go from merely dozens of readers to well over a thousand or more.
