You can read all the ebooks in the world, buy The WordPress Bible a thousand kazillion times; but the reality is the success of your blog is inside you. It carries no price, and it is ready to be unleashed.
It’s PPPI:
- Personality
- Passion
- Pride
- Integrity
You’re already exceptional. You don’t have to be a clown, or exceptional ugly (unless you want to compete with me).
What you need is focus. Focus on your passion, focus on your audience.
Read widely, understand your market. It’s practically simple. Empathise, identify with. Then relate to them, build a community by finding ways to solve their problems (or find problems they didn’t even know they had) and figure outcomes to exceed expectations and delight.
It all begins and ends with honesty. No BS. No membership marketing. No ‘BUY THIS BOOK, IT’LL BLOW YOU AWAY’. Just plain and simple delivery with passion.
Take a watch. Incidentally it’s not pain etched on my face – it’s enthusiasm. I only have one face for enthusiasm, which is the same as ‘no, no, don’t hit me in the knackers with THAT!’
