4 Lessons from 10+ Years of Blogging (and Making it Work)

After years of trial and error, building blogs that pay the bills... and actually make real money, here are my 4 golden rules...

If you stick with them and don't deviate, you will be successful.

1. Use AI (but don’t overdo it)
Use AI and yourself in equal measure. Every single time you MUST edit your content and add your own personality, own experiences, and your own little bits of things only you know how to say... this is what makes you unique.

2. Look after the basics.
Make sure you have good hosting, a fast site, optimized images, quality (not overloaded) plugins, and the ability to collect people's email addresses.

  1. Repurpose like a nut
    Always, and I must repeat this.... ALWAYS repurpose your blog posts into multiple forms of content (10x) and place them onto other social sites, bookmarking sites, create threads, flipboards etc...

  2. Pick a schedule and stick to it
    Treat it like a non-negotiable. (Life happens, but consistency is what separates the winners from the rest.)

Do these things and your Blog, is more than just a blog... It's A Business!

What about you? What’s your #1 blogging lesson?

Good luck.

Blog smarter, not harder!
