Bloggers tell you that reader feedback is the best feedback.
In some ways, they aren’t wrong.
Readers typically offer helpful guidance because your community is your blogging target.
Followers definitely dole out valuable feedback from time to time based on their wants, problems, hopes and dreams.
But I have an even better source of feedback.
This channel is flawless. Perfect, even.
What is the best source of blogging feedback?
Your gut.
Your intuition.
Hunches.
Internal pulls.
I’ll give you an example.
Daily Publishing Schedule
2 weeks ago, I felt a strong intuitive hunch to publish one blog post daily. I would reach 1000 plus words per post. Each blogging tip had to be something I saw via my blogging community or the blogging tips niche in general.
Basically, I decided to solve only pressing blogging problems that appeared before my very eyes.
My readers did not necessarily tell me to publish daily blog posts. The blogging world in general pumps the brakes a bit before guiding bloggers to publish daily.
Frankly, I do not advise you to publish daily posts until you become a high advanced blogger. Bloggers reach this point after writing content for thousands of hours. Most reach this skill level years into their online careers.
My intuitive feedback basically went against the world’s feedback. Or at least, my gut pull did not align 100% with reader feedback.
What Happened Next?
One Blogging From Paradise post jumped from page 2 to page 1 of Google for about the most competitive keyword in my niche. The jump occurred about one week after I began publishing posts daily.
I consider this to be a fringe benefit though.
What happened is this: I found my daily publishing groove by dissolving resistance to being prolific.
I conquered fears related to “annoying” readers and “losing” followers. I always harbored the general idea that giving and losing could possibly associated even though I also knew that being generous and genuine laid a rock solid blogging foundation.
Publishing daily posts put that little irritating fear behind me.
Now my success momentum builds a bit daily. Ranking on page 1 never hurts. But being truly helpful consistently matters most.
Forget bigger and better things lining up for me, for a moment.
Becoming highly prolific on your blogging real estate maximizes organic traffic and blogging income.
But the challenge remains.
In a blogging world obsessed with external feedback, how can you trust the voice in your mind that literally knows everything?
How to Listen to Your Intuitive Feedback
I have been on a journey of self-discovery for years.
Trusting my intuition by listening to it and following its guidance helped me immeasurably through all walks of life.
I turned away from the traditional 9-5 life to become a professional blogger based on my gut. I also decided to circle the globe as a digital nomad by relying on a strong hunch.
Both messages seemed to be telegraphed to me from my intuition. I listened, trusted and moved in that direction to cultivate greater peace of mind, happiness and increased worldly freedom.
The question remains: How do you listen to intuitive feedback?
Keep these ideas in mind:
- spend at least 5-10 minutes in quiet daily to practice listening to the small, still voice known as the intuition
- immediately record intuitive ideas with your phone or pen and paper
- act on your intuition quickly because these ideas appear to have a shelf life
- note how your intuition always leads you towards greater worldly freedom without exception
I had to trust my intuition to keep listening to the quiet, subtle voice that whispers amid the ego’s raucous shrieks.
The ego always speaks first.
The intuition gently whispers after you are still, relax the mind and allow it to go quiet.
I would hear an intuitive hunch, record it, act on it swiftly then gradually observe the sweet after effects of honoring the intuition.
Respect this process. Pay close attention to your mind. Create space around your day. Stop rushing. Cease hurrying.
The intuition is literally a know-it-all because it knows what’s best for all.
You can never go wrong by trusting your blogging intuition.
Intuitive Processes Are Internal Not External
The intuition works from within the mind.
The ego works externally, from the outside-in.
For example, the ego guides you to look outside to readers, poll them via social media then gauge reader feedback based on the voting. There is nothing wrong with this traditional marketing approach. But it is not perfect because imperfect humans project personal grievances that have nothing to do with your blog.
The intuition extends for the good of all, never projecting based on some grievance. This is why it is perfect and completely internal.
What About Reader Feedback?
Reader feedback is generally reliable.
Followers can point you in the right blogging direction since you write for these individuals.
Listen closely to your tribe.
Blogging communities prove to be a goldmine of excellent ideas.
But unlike the intuition, people are not perfect because the ego calls the shots from time to time.
For example, bloggers who struggle like hell to drive organic traffic and blogging income offer me feedback about all of the things I am doing wrong. Some share a laundry list of the things I need to improve to reach the next level. I am open to all feedback but pick and choose who I actually listen to because pros do not go pro by trusting the grievances of amateurs who do not know their blogging ass from their blogging elbow.
In rare cases, a struggling blogger may offer constructive feedback. I keep an open mind for this reason. But I look past most guidance from bloggers having a rough time because they largely know how to have a rough time, not how to succeed. Hey; it’s nothing personal. But a healthy person does not remain healthy by trusting feedback from sick people, do they?
As for established blogger feedback among my readership, I am all ears. I blindly trust no one because even seasoned pros harbor grievances but at least I open up to all manner of feedback before deciding whether to act on the guidance or look past it.
Conclusion
As always, trust your blogging gut.
The intuition knows everything.
Follow its lead to inner peace and external success.
