Business Bloggers: how has the journey gone so far?

This time of the year is always a good time for business bloggers to look back and reflect on their progress.

How has your blogging journey gone so far? Are you happy with your achievements this year?

When you look back, don’t count yesterday’s failure, but plan tomorrow’s success”.

I have developed a success code for myself and I am happy to share it with all business bloggers. I use this piece of success code to keep myself focused so that I won’t lose track of my goals.

“Success does not come easy, even when you stay busy, but it does come, with a step at a time”¦”

S – Strategize. Review and visualise your dream blog – Is your blog what you want it to be now? Where do you want to be with your blog tomorrow? Strategize and draw up your plan. Develop new business ideas. Planning is a very essential part of everything you do. From the time you wake up until the time you fall back on your pillows.

U – Understand what you are getting yourself into.  Blogging for money is not the same as blogging for pleasure.  That said, it is important you enjoy what you are doing. Understand your strength and your weakness. Don’t just do what everyone else is doing; create your blog around whatever it is you know you can comfortably and effortlessly blog about. Everyone is good at something and whatever that is; that’s your key to success.

“Blogging about everything won’t yield anything but common hives, but uniqueness attracts reactions”

C – Concentrate on your creativity and resist all distractions. Create useful, helpful, fun and quality content. Whatever you do with your blog, let your content speak to someone. Have a central message.  Create content around your skills and passion. When I write, I try to ask myself, is this article useful? Will it help someone? How can I make it more useful? Will it add more value to my theme?

C – Connect and collaborate. It is true that content is king, but very king needs a queen and in the context of blogging, the queen is your traffic. Connect with potential readers, connect with social communities, interact with other business bloggers, build a mailing list and connect with the needs of your members. Even though these are common strategies, very few bloggers take the time to follow them through.

E – Expand your knowledge to fulfil your readers’ expectation. Just as the natural world is evolving, the web is also changing constantly. Find out the latest SEO techniques. Review your blog and make sure you are in the loop of things.

S – Sacrifice time and effort. Who said it’s easy to make money online or offline?  As a business blogger, you need to put some extra efforts into your blogging site if you want to gain anything from it.  You need to nurture it like a baby and watch it grow and blossom. It takes time and effort to get to that stage we want it to be. It’s not an easy road but then hard work tends to pay off.

S- Stay steady and focused on your tracks. Look heard and don’t lose track of your aims, that way you will achieve your objectives.  It’s not unusual for business bloggers to want to reach goals very quickly, but that only happens with a few people and most people realize their goals more slowly.

Finally, if things are not going as planned for your business blog, review and make changes to your success plan, but don’t abandon your aims and objectives, else you will lose everything you have worked so hard to build.

“Abounded aims don’t make gains, but relentless efforts can bring chains of successes.”

All business bloggers should have a success code. Do you have one? Let’s hear it!

    You got me at C-Concentrate.

    Takes me a minute to pull myself back in and stay focused. And keep content focused.

    S – Strategize. Sometimes it is just easier to do that for others.

    I’ve been looking ahead for four years now. Still trying to figure out where I’m going.

      Hi JMarie
      You are not alone when it comes to ‘concentration’ issues. Sometimes we have loads of ideas and we want to put them all to work and this may lead to distractions and lack of concentration. However, the most important thing is not giving up…we will get there!
      Thanks for taking time to comment on this post.

    Hi Lola,

    You listed some really great points. No matter what your goal is, you aspire to go there because you realize there is more for you in life than what exists now. But, figuring out how to get there can be a tuffy. Sometimes you are fortunate enough to experience an epiphany where the road becomes crystal clear. Other times, it’s trial and error. What efforts benefit your goal, build on them. Which others don’t, abandon them.

    As you say, moving ahead involves sacrificing. Breaking certain comfortable habits, changing your circle of friends, doing something you don’t want to do for the sake of discipline or not doing something you want to do for the experience self denial, all of them comprise self-growth in the making. Your vision will emerge the more you focus on it.

    The key to achievement is perseverance. It won’t be a smooth ride to the light. But your life will change and the changes will be directed by you. Like learning to play an instrument, produce a piece of art or even learning how to type, sticking with it means practice, practice, practice. Perseverance evolves into success!

    Great thought provoking post!

    Fred

      Hi Fred,
      Sometimes having someone else write or say what you are thinking makes it more real… let me say realistic. Then you know you are not alone in your quest for success; you know you are moving in the right direction and then you strive to build the right attitude.

      You have made some very salient points here: making sacrifices, breaking comfortable habits and in one sentence, ‘reorganising your life to meet your aims and staying focused’.

      Thanks very much Fred, for your very insightful contribution.

  13. Yes I do have a business strategy:

    Plan well, Start Small…Think BIG!

    I’ve been blogging for exactly one year. I always planned to spend my first year learning and building traffic.

    When I started, I knew nothing about blogging, and realized right at the start that if I wrote Posts about every new thing I learn, it would build into a great Resource for Beginners.

    I like to think that by now, I am Posting ‘How to’ articles that even mature bloggers will find useful.

    I’ve just done a stock take of my first year’s efforts, and I’m quite pleased with my progress in terms of traffic and subscribers.

    My second year (this year) I’m starting to focus on making money – But will still be writing posts about every new thing I learn along the way.

    It seems like a good plan, and I’m happy to report…. so far, so good.

    Thank you for the thoughtful post lola. I find myself doing a lot of things at once and though I’m seeing a lot of progress from where I was a month ago, I still need to slow down a little. Hard work does tend to pay off and I can relate to that completely :)
