How to blog
A high volume of bloggers do not get Twitter.
I understand.
I was once in the same boat.
I would tweet my latest post. Sit back. Wait for all of those Retweets to skyrocket. Waiting…..waiting…..waiting.
After a few weeks I noted only a few Retweets and even more scant blog traffic flowing through Twitter.
For good reason; I had no clue what in the Hades I was doing on the network.
I just received payment from one of my blog consulting clients.
These days I receive $200 an hour for my services.
It wasn’t always this way though.
A while back I had the posture of a jellyfish.
I foolishly accepted $25 an hour for my coaching services.
I commanded a similar skill set to my current day skill set.
Not much was different.

Successful bloggers leave you a proven blueprint to follow.
Study the pros to cut your learning curve by years.
It is that simple but your blogging journey becomes uncomfortable at times. Obstacles pop up. Traffic or profit droughts may dampen your spirit.

Content marketing is here to stay.
Creating helpful content and sharing it across a wide range of platforms ain’t going out of style anytime soon. People crave help. People consume help across their online channel of choice.
If you run an online or offline entrepreneurial venture you are in the business of helping people.

The dream of every website and blog owner is to create high-quality content, generate massive traffic, and make sales.
We all know the role traffic plays in helping you get an interactive blog community and in earning with your site.
Needless to say that without traffic your blog is as good as living in an internet desert and in total obscurity. Even though your dream is not to earn money with your blog, you still need people to read whatever you’ve got to tell them, right?
