My wife Kelli and I just walked for 2 and a half hours.
Plenty of cardio today.
We walked from Norwalk to Westport in Connecticut.
3:12 PM as I write these words. A bit behind schedule as I usually go live on Blogging Tips at around 1 PM. But here I am writing the post.
Why?
I quickly seize and use blogging opportunities daily. No matter how busy I am with my online and offline life I always grab and use opportunities for blogging growth.
A few weeks ago I noted how Blogging Tips registers roughly 1,000 followers on Feedly. Nice complement to my following at Blogging From Paradise.
Since I publish 4 blog posts on BFP daily and 1 blog post on BT daily I seize quite a few opportunities to help folks with sound blogging tips. I also publish quite a few videos daily. Toss in my blog comments and promoting other bloggers and you’ve a day of opportunities seized to help folks, to grow my blog and to grow my brand.
How about You?
Do you seize opportunities quickly? Or do you find yourself delaying, holding back and hesitating when opportunities present themselves?
Struggling bloggers do not seize opportunities. This crowd waits for opportunities to arrive. This crowd waits for inspiration. Meanwhile, I just wrote and published 4 more blog posts today while you waited around for inspiration, said inspiration never knocking on the door of your mind.
Opportunities for:
- guest posting
- blog commenting
- promoting other bloggers
- podcasting
- creating videos
do not find you. No magical blogging fairy sprinkles pixie dust on your dome, allowing blog post ideas and networking ideas to seep into your subconscious mind.
You either do or do not seize blogging opportunities to increase your blog traffic and blogging profits.
You either do or do not seize blogging opportunities to help people interested in your blogging niche.
Successful bloggers seize opportunities. All other bloggers fear seizing opportunities.
Facebook Live Broadcasts
Watch this live broadcast I published today on Facebook.
Note how I spent a good 16 minutes explaining 1 common error seen with struggling bloggers. People nod and agree with a post, marveling at the publishing blogger’s skills, but rarely ponder the years of patient practice said blogger put in to develop a masterpiece.
Some call me a natural on live video or with writing blog posts. I am a natural on neither platform. I just wrote millions of words and publish 4,000 plus videos over the past 10 years of my life. Thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of blogging practice went into my writing and video presentation skills. Dwelling on this idea helps you practice, develop blogging skills and to see greater blogging success.
Look at the blogs where I have been featured above. See how grabbing and using opportunities to grow benefits you?
I seized opportunity after opportunity over the past decade to create helpful content and to build strong connections. Consider doing the same if you want to increase your blogging success.
Never Trust Your Mind
Your mind is limited and has no idea what the real you can achieve.
Listen to your heart. Honor your intuition. Your intuitive nudges goad you to seize opportunity after opportunity. Right now.
Never trust your mind because mind tries to talk you out of seizing opportunities, to keep you comfortable and struggling.
Right now you can publish a personalized, thoughtful comment on this post, expanding brand awareness and driving traffic to your blog. How about retweeting the post and tagging me – @RyanBiddulph – on Twitter, forming a bond between you and I? How about Facebook Sharing this post and tagging Ryan Biddulph on Facebook, deepening our friendship?
Endless opportunities arise for the mindful, generous blogger hellbent on helping people and becoming more successful. Your job is to seize these moments to become increasingly successful as you serve people from your blogging niche.
The journey feels freeing and highly uncomfortable at times. Be at peace with growing.
Are you seizing blogging opportunities quickly right now?
Hop all over the moment guys for the moment is all you have.
