Blogging Strategy, Updated Edition

January 26th, 2009

Over the last few days I have updated my Blogging Strategy.

With everything in life I research before leaping in.  I have been blogging off/on since 2003 so had the experience but I sought the ‘success factors’.

This updated revision covers what I have found by strategically looking at successful blogs and from my own learnings.

Sun Tzu said it best:

“All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.”

I have drawn all the tactics used by myself and other successful bloggers into a comprehensive plan of action.

Follow the 25 Ideas in this Blogging Strategy and you will conquer.

How much would this be worth to you? Well at only $2/idea I am selling it for $47 USD.

(Ok my maths sucks its actually $1.88 an idea)

Let’s say you waste 2 hours a week for the next month as you fumble your way through.  At $20/hour thats $160 wasted.  You could have bought the book three times over!

My challenge to you is to take just five ideas from this book implement them and you will recoup the investment (and compound it) month after month.

Just so your not going hang on Ben what about a freebie? You can get the first 10 Ideas here for free (and have been able to for 6 months or so).

As I really appreciate you all, my loyal readers, I will offer this for only $25 USD (approx 47% off) for 48 hours only.  After that it will revert back to the normal price of $47.

 Update: this has now finished and is available at the standard price.

You can purchase below by clicking the buy now button.  You will receive your copy from me personally via the email you specify.  



  

Why not buy a couple of licences? Send a copy to your top clients.  Help them help you.  

Simply select a different option from the drop down box.  Contact me [email protected] to purchase a higher number of licences. 

If you don’t think this is for you, thats ok, but if I’ve helped you with any of my blog posts a few retweets, trackbacks or helping me spread the word is much appreciated.

Update: Oh before I forget as is my new years resolution 10% of proceeds will go through to my Kiva account to help provide micro loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries.


Wow i'm here now

July 6th, 2008

My goal was a 2 month blogging trial.

I hesitated with blogging (in a serious capacity) for a while.

I did not feel I have anything valuable to add [clearly I was wrong].

However I aimed for 2 months, 8 posts.

I have come out the other side 15 posts plus 16 drafts! (enough for another 2 months).

So now time to step it up.  Let’s go another 3 months for 3 posts/week!

I put up a very succinct guide to the strategy I propose to firms looking at blogging.  For those that have missed it, check it out on my Blogging Strategy page.

Why am I sharing this? (and it applies across new ideas, development, marketing)

Limit your commitment.  Define when you will give up.  Makes it easier and provides a red flag mechanism.  Defines success at the same time.
