Listen to Your Blogging Heart Not Your Blogging Head

Logic does have its place. Thinking things through rationally can aid your blogging campaign. But listening to your blogging heart is the easiest, quickest way to cultivate long term success. Even though success is not quick or easy, this heart-centered journey is the most seamless path because your inner world, your intuition, your hunches, your gut, none are ever wrong. Every nudge seems spot on. For example, I woke at 7 AM today after a good 7 hours of solid sleep. I feel recharged, rested and ready to write. Usually I engage in energy management on waking. Meditate, do Kriya...

The Pros and Cons of Having Multiple Blogs

This post is based on episode 188 of the ProBlogger podcast As you probably know, I have two main blogs – ProBlogger and Digital Photography School. And I’m very fortunate to be in a position where I could devote all of my time to either one of them and still earn a full-time income. But while are definitely benefits in having two well-established blogs, those benefits come at a cost. So this week I want to talk about both the benefits and the costs of having multiple blogs so you can decide whether it’s worth doing. But first, I need to...

This post is based on episode 84 of the ProBlogger podcast. In last week’s post I talked about the different types of writer’s block I’ve suffered from over the years, such as: having no ideas to write about having too many ideas to write about continually being distracted starting posts, but never finishing them. This week’s post is all about conquering that first one: having no ideas to write about. I’m going to show you how you can come up with fresh ideas to write about, and keep your blog exciting and useful for your readers. Solving a common problem Running...

What Is the Difference Between an Entrepreneur and Blogger?

A few moments ago, I emailed my list. I simply linked to my blog post. Within the blog post, I linked to one of my eBooks via link and embed. Both being associated with my Amazon Associates affiliate account, I make money through 2 channels. One, my KDP royalty payment as an Amazon self-published author.

I remember observing a prospering blogger explain...

Blogging Goals: Do You Really Want What You Think You Want?

But then I used to judge the low volume of emails I received in negative fashion. Why did I receive a few emails when other established, professional bloggers got more emails daily? I finally woke up by visualizing my dreams. Seeing my dreams in detail inspired me to watch myself lazing on the beaches of Thailand. I enjoyed looking out on the crystal clear waters as the palm trees...

What’s a Membership Site … and Should You Create One?

Do you wish you could make steady income from your blog? Maybe your advertising revenue has peaks and troughs. Sure, it’s great to have that chunk of money come in during the holiday season. But when it’s only trickling in the rest of the time it can be frustrating. Maybe you run a couple of ebook sales each year, which create only a short-term boost in sales. Or perhaps the money you make from promoting affiliate products isn’t consistent. One great option for earning an ongoing monthly income – especially if your blog is fairly well established and you’ve tried...
