Each post you publish points back to your blog.
Everything you create online points directly or indirectly back to your blog.
Do you run an online business?
Each post points back to your online business.
Community builders increase community by pointing an increasing number of pages back to content central; your blog.
Social media posts point back to your blog. Blog posts point back to your blog. Everything you create online points back to your blog. You cannot lose. I mean this in a literal sense. Every post signals gain. Think cumulatively. I do this to nudge myself forward. I do this to be as prolific as I can.
Not Sleepy RB
For whatever reason, I go through insomnia stretches. Whatever I do – or refuse to do – has absolutely zero bearing on my insomnia. I lay awake for hours. Insomnia says; I am inevitable. I can exercise like a madman but I still cannot sleep. I can meditate for hours but still cannot sleep.
Right now, at a little before 2 AM, Turkey time, I wrote this post because one more page points back to Blogging From Paradise Dot Com the moment I publish this sucker. Some forget the raw power of content. Every post published anywhere increases your exposure.
Of course, publishing blog posts first and foremost expands your reach most successfully. Create content for your real estate at the outset. Bridge the gap with offsite content. Be prolific offsite to be seen. Publish onsite to fortify your credibility. Hit both locations for a well-balanced blogging campaign.
Anyway, being an insomniac for various stretches seems like a curse at first until one looks closely at the gift of using quiet hours to become prolific. I used to toss and turn – and burn in anger – like a big baby. But using these peaceful hours to stoke my prolific fire became a game changer for me. Consider finding quiet time to become a wee bit more prolific. Whether you too experience insomnia or steal peaceful moments here and there during the day, make it work for you.
Expand Your Reach through Raw Creativity
Tap into the power of raw creativity to expand your reach.
After I publish this post it simply points to the 400 posts I published prior on Blogging From Paradise Dot Com. Post #401 points to an online course and 7 eBooks too. 1000’s of social media posts indirectly point back to my blog. 1000’s of social media posts directly point back to my blog; I share blog posts to Facebook and Twitter early and often.
Creativity boosts reach organically. Consider the efficiency inherent. I do not trip over myself begging for others to share my content. Nor do I bend over backwards to get backlinks. I simply write and publish another blog post to point back to all prior posts. All prior posts point back to my online business. All content I publish builds my community through the sheer power of being prolific. Or, for being as prolific as I can be.
What Is the Best Way to Promote a Blog Post?
Write the next blog post.
Promote the prior blog post.
Promote the blog post prior to that one.
Rinse. Wash. Repeat.
A well-known writer once said that the best way to promote a book is to write the next book. He ain’t wrong. Visualize a spider web of blog posts. Each post behaves like a junction point in the web, connecting to the next point via a thread. Imagine how far and wide the web expands after publishing blog posts for years. Picture the massive exposure potential for prolific bloggers.
Being all over the place in your niche is a distinct possibility for the prolific blogger who never gives up.
Everything you create points back to your blog directly or indirectly.
Remember this the next time you feel stingy about creating content.
Being Prolific Has Its Challenges
Bloggers fear running out of blog post ideas.
Bloggers fear rehashing the same blog post ideas for irritated readers.
Bloggers fear exposure gains mean increased responsibility. This is a sneaky one. Being all over the place in your niche leads to freedom, success and responding more frequently to the various calls related to being a successful blogger. Bloggers sometimes fear increased work as impinging on their freedom from time.
Bloggers fear being prolific means opening themselves up to criticism.
If a fear of being prolific exists, I have probably experienced it. One part of my mind really believes that nobody will read this thing after I publish it. I am not kidding. I still harbor all types of zany fears that make absolutely no sense. The fear tried to derail me from sitting down to write the post. I mean, I actually know that some people will read it. But fear – especially the unconscious stuff – is highly irrational. As fears rise in awareness, the really jerky stuff surfaces.
What can I do?
Ease into the fear.
Write the blog post.
Nudge into the fear.
Publish the blog post.
One more post points back to Blogging From Paradise Dot Com after I publish this sucker.
That is enough for me.
Leave Your Blogging Comfort Zone Consistently
Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable precedes increased blogging success.
Ease into fears related to being prolific.
Create your next piece of content.
Be Practical
Before I leave you (and hopefully get some sleep) you always want to publish practical content for readers to sink their teeth into again and again.
Be practical and prolific.
Create beneficial content for readers.
Give them something to improve their lives.
Baby step them through problems.
Guide them to live their dreams.
Drill down into details.
Share steps.
Long-form content tends to hit the mark in this regard.
