Generous bloggers succeed because being helpful develops skills, exposure and credibility required to go pro.

Selfish bloggers fail because being self-centered does not develop skills, exposure and credibility required to go pro.

Scanning my spam folder moments ago revealed takers. Blogging gets tougher for takers because each spammer wants to take traffic without giving anything valuable. Not helping people because you want to take from people leads to failure. How can you succeed by not giving freely? Taking or trying to take removes giving from the equation. Removing giving prevents success because skilled, credible bloggers with exposure succeed.

Think of it this way. Successful bloggers give freely for an extraordinary stretch to receive traffic and income seamlessly. Failing bloggers do not give freely; this crowd tries to get as much as possible by helping people as little as possible. Consider the idea of spam. Someone tries to get as much traffic as possible by giving as little value as possible. Obviously these spammers struggle, fail then quit because none gives anything of value. Give nothing. Get nothing. Give spam comments. Get no organic traffic and blogging income.

Picture the ten bloggers whose comments dropped into my spam folder. No one sees their comments but me. How can you succeed if no one sees your work? Would I succeed if my comments dropped into trash folders?

I comment genuinely. I experienced the power of giving freely through authentic blog comments. Blogging From Paradise Dot Com earned high quality backlinks from respected bloggers based on my detailed blog comments, in part, at least. Give. Get. Help. Receive help. Serve. Succeed.

Each taker in my spam queue offers no help, disappears into obscurity, struggles and fails. Blogging gets easier when you give and tougher when you take. Dwell on this idea daily. How much do you give? How many people do you help daily? Do you publish at least one piece of content on a daily basis?

Record and upload a video to Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Record and publish a podcast. Simply help people to make blogging easier. Resist the urge to hold back. Being stingy symbolizes bloggers happy to take but resistant to giving. Blogging gets harder if you take. But blogging gets easier if you give. Think this concept through. Give freely.

Let Go of the Blogging Past

Stingy bloggers cling to a tortured blogging past. I get it. I have been there.

You gave quite a bit. I bet you published some helpful blog posts. But no one reads your blog. No one hires you. No one buys your stuff. You gave. But the getting seems non-existent. Clinging to the pain of past blogging struggles, you do not give freely now. Why bother? Nobody will read your blog, anyway. You tried that already; didn’t work.

The vicious cycle of giving little, getting little, airing grievances and rinsing, washing and repeating continues.

Mentally forgive the past. Let go of any psychological attachment to giving, struggling and suffering. Prepare yourself to succeed. Give freely now. Set yourself up to receive freely, too. Be consistent. Respect the process. Accept the time element involved. Becoming a successful blogger is doing simple, truly helpful things for an extraordinary length of time.Giving freely involves giving plenty of time too, folks.

Follow Top Bloggers

Top bloggers prove that being generous paves the way for a professional blogging career. Does any high level pro spam comment 1000 blogs for 10 hours daily? Pros try not to take. Pros give freely to help people by solving their problems. Follow the pro way persistently to experience professional results. Give freely to position yourself to be a full time blogger. Give to give. Allow takers to disappear into obscurity.

The best way to make blogging easier is to engineer a day of being genuinely helpful. Perhaps the ego claims to be helpful after recording and publishing a 60 second video. But you and I know we can give more than that. Each human being can seamlessly design their day around being truly helpful for their readers and folks well outside of their blogging community.

How Giving Freely Looks

Write then publish your next blog post. Retweet 5-10 fellow bloggers. Publish 5-10 detailed, genuine blog comments on respected blogs from your niche. Blogging gets easier for givers because your generosity increases the skills, exposure and credibility required to become successful. People know this intellectually but the ego fights the concept emotionally.

The ego wants to take with as little giving as possible. The ego desires receiving something for nothing. But the ego creates blogging failure because blogging gets tougher for takers.

Imagine spammers feeling frustrated because no one sees their comments.

Working harder – aka spamming more blogs – makes blogging tougher because takers always fail, no matter how long and hard they work.

Stop taking.

Begin giving.

Position yourself to succeed.
