Are You Wasting Time on Your Blog? Here’s How to Be More Productive

Leave a reply

Attention all bloggers and content creators! Are you spending countless hours perfecting image spacing, hunting for the ideal image, or obsessing over text color and size? If so, you might be wasting precious time that could be better spent growing your business.

In a WA blog post, a blogger named Nathaniell shared some common time-wasting habits that many of us fall into, along with some practical tips on how to be more productive. Here’s a quick overview of the key points.

The Pitfalls of Perfectionism

Nathaniell points out that striving for perfection in image spacing and finding the “perfect” image can consume hours of your time. With the variety of devices and screen sizes used by readers, your meticulously crafted layout may not even be appreciated as you intended. Nathaniell suggests using 1-2 images for general articles and center-aligning them for consistency.

The Simplicity of Text

When it comes to text color and size, Nathaniell advises keeping it simple. Avoid the temptation to create a rainbow of colors or a roller coaster of text sizes. Stick to a basic color scheme and a readable font size. If you’re not happy with your blog’s font, consider changing the theme rather than diving into the code.

The Importance of Content

Nathaniell warns against creating complicated menu navigation systems with no content behind them. Instead, start with a simple menu and expand it as your site grows. Keep a spreadsheet of your ideas to stay organized.

The Distraction of Rankings and Traffic

While it’s fun to check your Wealthy Affiliate (WA) rank or your site’s traffic stats, these activities don’t directly contribute to your business growth. Nathaniell suggests focusing on activities that enhance your site and your community involvement.

Three Ways to Be More Productive

  1. Product Research: Spend time looking for potential products to promote. Use resources like Amazon, forums, and Google Trends to see what’s selling.
  2. Blog Post Brainstorm: Plan your content. Look at your old content for new ideas and see what your competitors are writing about.
  3. Continue Your Education: Keep learning. There are countless training modules and webinars available to help you expand your knowledge and skills.

Intrigued? Head over to the original blog post to read the full details and get more insights on how to stop wasting time and be more productive with your blog. Remember, time is gold. Make sure you’re spending yours wisely!

Crafting a Profitable Blog: A Step-by-Step Guide to Kickstarting Your Lucrative Online Venture

Choosing Your Blog Niche

The first step in your blogging journey is to select a niche or topic for your blog. This should be something you’re passionate about and have a good knowledge of. This passion and knowledge will help you create engaging content that will attract a dedicated audience. Choosing a niche is the foundation of your blog and it’s the most important decision you’ll make for yourself, your blog, and your audience.

Selecting Your Blogging Platform

I recommend using WordPress due to its flexibility and wide range of features. It’s user-friendly, making it an excellent choice for beginners. WordPress offers numerous themes and plugins that you can use to customize your blog. The design should be clean and easy to navigate to provide a good user experience.

Picking a Domain Name and Hosting Service

Your domain name should be unique and relevant to your niche. As for hosting, I suggest using Wealthy Affiliate which comes with being a Premium member. Choosing a descriptive name that piques readers’ interests is crucial for attracting an audience.

Crafting High-Quality Content

The key to a successful blog is high-quality content. I highly suggest writing informative and engaging posts that provide value to your readers. Regularly updating your blog with fresh content can also help increase traffic. Engage your audience with a killer title and use headers to make the content skimmable.

Promoting Your Blog

Use social media platforms, SEO techniques, and email marketing to promote your blog and reach a wider audience. Creating an editorial calendar can help you publish consistently and hold yourself accountable.

Monetizing Your Blog

There are several ways to monetize your blog, including affiliate marketing, selling products or services, and displaying ads. I emphasize the importance of choosing a monetization strategy that aligns with your niche and audience. Becoming a successful affiliate takes dedication and discipline.

Patience and Consistency

Blogging is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It requires consistency, patience, and hard work. Over time, as your blog grows and attracts more traffic, it can become a significant source of income. Remember, blogging is a marathon, not a sprint.

Remember, the success of your blog largely depends on your passion for the topic, the quality of your content, and your dedication to consistent posting and promotion.

Happy blogging!

Blogging is a Lifestyle

Blogging as a Lifestyle

Embracing blogging as a lifestyle means committing to consistent content creation, engaging with your audience, and continuously learning how to do blogging effectively. It’s not just about writing posts; it’s about creating a brand and a community around your blog.

Financial Freedom Through Blogging

Financial freedom through blogging is about creating passive income streams that allow you to live without the need for a traditional 9-to-5 job. This could involve:

  • Diversifying Income: Having multiple revenue streams from your blog, such as ads, affiliate marketing, and product sales, can lead to a more stable income.
  • Saving and Investing: By saving a significant portion of your blogging income and investing wisely, you can grow your wealth over time.
  • Learning from Others: Following FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) blogs can provide practical advice and inspiration for your financial journey.

Tips for Aspiring Bloggers

For those starting, here are some final tips:

  • Start with the Right Platform: Choose a blogging platform that aligns with your goals, whether it’s for ease of use, customization, or monetization.
  • Understand the Commitment: Realize that blogging is a lifestyle that requires dedication and hard work.
  • Learn and Adapt: Stay informed about the latest trends in blogging and adapt your strategies accordingly.
  • Plan for the Long Term: Financial freedom won’t happen overnight. Plan and execute your blogging and financial strategies with a long-term perspective.

By understanding these key points and strategically applying them, you can work towards achieving financial freedom through the blogging lifestyle.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

God created the universe in 7 days – What can you do in 7 days?

Leave a reply

I obtain this image at wikimedia.org

Its not that I want to be too religious or spiritual, here. But I just want to put things in perspective. In the Christian religion, it is said that God took 7 days to create all that exist. In one week He did an amazing job, wouldn’t you agree?  He didn’t rush to do everything in one day. He took the time to do it right by allowing Him to do certain things for each of those 7 days. This is something that all webentrepreneurs should take into consideration.

One week, 7 days, 168 hours,  10 080 minutes,  604 800 seconds that all it took for the Almighty to do the job. You as a person who want to live the nice life, who want more than the average worker, who want more money and a better lifestyle what can you do in one week?

Well, if you don’t know the answer, I’ll give it to you. For you to have a nice quality of life, earn more than someone who trade time for money and want it for the sake of your lifetime on this planet. Here the answer: start an online business.

To get what you want out of life. You have to take control of your life. Meaning that you got to be your own boss. No one should tell you when you start and when to stop. You shouldn’t have to ask for a permission to take a vacation or the right to get a raise. If you want more money go out there and take it. There is no shortage of money in this world. There a market for everything and anything.

To be your own boss you have to be in business, the online business that is. Trust me, you can start your online business without prior experience. You can earn while you learn the ropes. You can do this and change your lifestyle for the better.

Here’s the two big problems you are facing, you don’t know where and how to start an online business. Lucky for you I also got the answer to those issues.

Where to start an online business: WealthyAffiliate.com.

How to start an online business: with the free Starter membership also find at WealthyAffiliate.com.

Let’s take a look at what God did for each day of the week. And look at what you can do to run your own business on the web with the help of WA.

Day 1:

God created the heavens and earth. Plus He separated the light from the darkness.

On your first day of starting a new life. What you can do is joins WealthyAffiliate.com at no cost without you giving your credit card information. Creating a profile and adding your picture should be your first task. Once that is done, introduce yourself to the community. Share with us what drove you to this group of webentrepreneurs. And then, start learning how you can make money online. Choose a niche in which you are ready to invest your time and efforts.

Day 2:

God created the sky.

Building your website by choosing a domain name and setting it up with a WordPress theme shouldn’t take you all day and you can change your theme whenever you feel to do so.

Day 3:

God created dry land and plants.

On this day you can get your site ready for SEO by using a WordPress plugin call All in One SEO. But a lot of WealthyAffiliate.com members like to use the Yoast plugin. The two of them work great but in the future if you feel like switching up there a tutorial to help you out.

Day 4:

God created all stars and the heavenly bodies that are the sun and the moon.

Here you start your keywords research to give you content ideas. To help you with this task you have access to Jaaxy, the only keyword platform that you need. You will get a total of 30 searches after that you will have to sign for a premium account with Jaaxy.

Day 5:

God created all life that lives in the water, the birds and insects.

You can now create your About Me page, to lets your website visitors (and future clients) know what you are about and what you can do to help them solve their problems. The privacy policy page is to save you from any legal lawsuit that can take place if you didn’t have this page on your website. All legitimate website have a privacy policy page and you should too. And one category page related to your website niche.

Day 6:

God created Man in His image.

On this day you can now create quality content for your website. The more you write the better you will become. We only get better with practice. Your website with time will become a reflection of yourself. Like that your visitor will get to know you, like you and then trust you. From that you will be able to monetize your efforts.

Day 7:

God rest.

On the final day, you should look back at the 6 days that went by and look at what you have accomplish. Not everything will be perfect but you can always improve what you have done so far. That’s the beauty of being a webentrepreneur, you can always get better at what you do, but only if you’re passionate about it.

In one week God created what we now call the universe. In one week you can start an online business that will increase and eventually replace your actual source of income. And you can start now free of charge.

Before you start and sign up for a free Starter Membership at WealthyAffiliate.com. I would strongly recommend that you plan the week ahead. I know that you have responsibilities, but remember why you want to do this. What motivate you to get on board of the webentrepreneur wagon.
