How to blog
Guest post by Lorraine Reguly
I’ll admit it… I can be sneaky.
But I just call it “smart.” 😉
I discovered how to find a way to both rank a post high in Google and how to earn some passive income from that post!
If truth be told, I stumbled onto this accidentally.
Today I will teach you how to be sneaky too, and find both ranking and earning opportunities from blogging.
Every online business that wants to see success should build a list. Your list is your market place that’s fully under your own control. The bigger your list and the more targeted it is, the more your profit (all things being equal)
A lot has been written about list building. But the industry keeps growing and changing. One of the factors that directly affects your success in the list building industry is the marketing tool. The choice you make determines the future of your investment.
Your network determines your net worth.
Blogging is a relationships game.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Platitudes out the ying yang. I know. Heard ’em all.
Platitudes are platitudes for a reason; each rings true.
8 years ago I wrote a cyber diary masquerading as a blog. Crickets greeted me each time I published a post. Things looked bleak. Things WERE bleaker. Lean days.
Fast Forward
Fast forward to today. I am doing A-OK blogging-wise. Life-wise too.
I am writing these words from Thailand, having circled the globe for the past 6 years as a full time, professional blogger.
Formatting WhatsApp text messages is not new. However, I realized some whatsAppers still don’t know how this is done. At the moment, we are able to style messages in just three ways:
While you can apply these formats individually to different words and sentences, properly nested, you are able to surround a single word or phrase with the three at once. Take a look at this:
-> All three styles applied at once
The text above is bold, italicized and striken. So how is this done?
If you don’t have WhatsApp Share Button on your blog, you are certainly leaving out an important source of free traffic. By the time you read through this post, you are going to rush for it.
WhatsApp is a very popular mobile texting app, loved and used by many across age groups allover the globe. Its ease to transmit text, video, images and video (While maintaining quality) has made it the first choice for many users.
As bloggers, making it easy for your mobile readers to quickly text your article to someone or in a whatsApp group is a key point in your struggle for traffic and exposure.
I am writing these words from beautiful Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Many people think I am lucky.
I have circled the globe over the past 6 years as a pro blogger.
But I am not lucky. I learned a lesson from happy, loving, successful people: people who live their dreams learned how to effectively deal with setbacks.
If you are not living your blogging dream you simply quit after facing some setback.
On the blogging front, you will face setbacks. Either you stop, or go forward. It’s that simple.
