Successful blogging requires a generosity and money investment.
Being generous increases your exposure and improves your skills.
Investing money emits a professional, trusted brand image.
For example, I wrote and published over 800 guest posts on Blogging Tips to:
- help people for free
- be generous
- increase my exposure
- improve my skills
I made a significant time, energy and generosity investment in guest posting on this blog, which paid me a sweet investment in return. 800 plus blogging tips themed posts boost my exposure, showing off my insight, floating around out there, promoting my success. I am generosity. Blogging is generous with me. Simple equation.
But work/play/generosity is but one aspect of being a successful blogger. Investing money in:
- a domain
- hosting
- a premium theme
emits a clear, trusted, professional brand image that literally buys success. If someone sees you own your domain name and invested in a WordPress dot org blog, someone trusts you. Instant credibility boost. Plus your premium theme sends a loud, clear, professional blogging signal. Trust. Credibility. You are a serious, real blogger. Even if you are not a professional blogger yet, people will call you a pro if you invest in a domain, hosting, a premium theme, and if you generously stock your blog with helpful content related to your niche.
Success Requires Investment
Every blogger who struggles did not make the generosity and money investment required to succeed. Perhaps you invested money in your domain, hosting and theme. Awesome. But a domain, hosting and theme does not make anybody successful. Generously giving of your time, talents and skills by:
- publishing helpful posts to your blog
- submitting and placing posts to your blog
- commenting genuinely on blogs
- promoting other bloggers on your blog
- promoting other bloggers on social media
helps set the table for some big time exposure and serious blogging skills. Now, oodles of folks see your eye-popping blog, attention-arresting skills and of course, your products and services.
Traffic and income increases from there.
The key is to see through investing journey through, even if you do not appear to be getting much traffic or making much money. If you feel rich, and complete, you will see profitable opportunities right before your very eyes. Develop your abundance consciousness. Have fun helping people. Develop skills to where blogging gets really easy. Ride out uncomfortable bumps, aka, noting an apparent lack of sales and traffic. Trust in yourself, trust in the process and trust in your money and generosity investments.
Cash and traffic will flow your way but you need be resolute, calm and confident in giving freely of your time and talent. No one gets rich overnight but skilled bloggers do gain wealth slowly and steadily, seeing $5 here, $.40 there, $300 bucks here and $1000 there because if you invest money and generosity into blogging, you will see a traffic and money return.
Do not be cheap. Cheap bloggers lack vision and struggle horribly with their whack-looking free platform blogs.
Do not be stingy with your time, talents and energy. Calmly help a high volume of folks today in as many ways as possible. Guest post. Comment genuinely on blogs. Seize opportunities for growth and expansion.
Success finds every blogger who makes a money and generosity investment.
Relax. Have fun. Feel like you are succeeding. Trust in yourself. Be generous. Help people. Invest money in your blog.
The exposure and skills you gain will rocket you to the top of your blogging niche the more you trust in your investments and the less you focus on outcomes.
