5 ACTION-PACKED TIPS

HOW TO BECOME A MORE

I’ve helped a lot
of people with
their blogs over
the years.

It’s one of my…
lesser known
superhero skills.

Anyway, Here’s
what I often hear
them say they
struggle with:

What do I
write about?

How Do I find
the time?

How do I
attract an
audience?

But WHEN I START
DIGGING, I FIND THE
REAL ROOT OF THEir
BLOGGING PROBLEMS.

CONFIDENCE

Blogging can
be a terrifying
proposition.

It takes real
guts to put
yourself out
there in the world.

But I’m here
to help

Here are 5 action-packed
tips to
help you become a
more confident
blogger.

1
Limit the time you
work on a post.

None of your blog posts
will ever be perfect.

And, besides,
there are always
distractions at work

Being an effective
blogger means
having the courage
to be imperfect.

Set a limit on the time
you work on a post.

Then pick a word count
and hit “publish” after
running spell check.

2
RE-FRAME THE
ASSIGNMENT.

A lot of people
feel anxiety
about the word
“blogger” like
it’s a special
designation.

Think of it
another way.

Can you write a
500 word essay you’re
passionate about once
or twice a month?

If you do that,
you can blog.

If you do that,
you can blog.

3
WRITE FOR YOURSELF.

Holy Headache!
I am getting a
little tired of this
whole idea of writing
for “personas.”

Personas have a place
in marketing but who
needs that pressure
when you blog?

Your customers
want to hear about
you and your ideas.

Not what you think
they want to hear.

Privacy issues are
a real concern,
lois, and I’m going
to write about it!

Tell your story.

4
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
PERSONAL COACHING.

YOU CAN READ AND
READ AND READ
ABOUT BLOGGING

BUT SOMETIMES IT
HELPS TO TALK
TO SOMEONE to get
the push you need.

Oh, Lois, I can't
seem to figure out
this whole blogging
thing.
You should
set up a call
with Batman!

I credit blogging
with helping me
clean up the
streets of gotham.
I had no idea
it had that
power!
Later that eveni...

5
PUT FEAR OF THE
NEGATIVE IN CONTEXT.

Listen.

It’s highly unlikely
that you are going
to get hate mail
over a blog post.

Of course you’ll
have disenters or
hot debates.

But that’s all a part of the fun…

Do you
want to get
out of here
or what?
I just don’t see
how blogging
will help us now.
But that’s all a part of th...

X-ray vision comes in
handy when dealing
with Internet trolls.

Blogging really
can save the
world, can’t it?
The truth is, Most of
your connections
online will be positive
and sup...

This is a magical time when
anybody can grab this opportunity
and publish so your voice has a
place in this world.

Don’t let
fear stop
you.
