Figuring out how to blog like an entrepreneur is different than figuring out how to blog.
Entrepreneurs think like business owners.
This post will help you blog like a thriving entrepreneur.
How to Blog Like an Entrepreneur
Blog like a business person. Share value. Monetize effectively. Profit. Go full time. Circle the globe. Or blog in your home town.
Doesn’t that sound sweet?
Think like a business person who blogs. Be an entrepreneur first. Blog, second. Keep that 1-2 step in mind to blog and build an online business successfully.
1: Blog Success
Blog success by:
- learning from successful bloggers
- surrounding yourself with successful bloggers
- investing in successful blogger courses and blogging eBooks
Focus on success. Success grows.
Bloggers who build profitable ventures turn a profit by teaching people how to succeed in their niche. Avoid appealing to failure-fear by mindlessly obsessing again and again over pain points, suffering and struggle because where your energy goes, grows.
Blog success. Tune into a higher energy. Allow success to grow in your being.
Blogging success is an inside-out endeavor. Strengthen your mind. Go within often.
Feeling successful leads to blogging successfully.
2: Think and Act Like an Entrepreneur Who Blogs
Clear entrepreneurs promote their businesses freely.
You are an entrepreneur who happens to blog. Be that person.
Open income streams. Freely promote your products and services. See yourself making money through those products and services.
Visualize business success.
Surround yourself with entrepreneurs. Learn from people who think like business owners.
Thinking, feeling and acting like a business owner feels quite different than thinking, feeling and acting like an employee. During my employee days I worked 5 days a week to get a paycheck on Thursday. I spent Saturday and Sunday lazing, hanging out and chilling.
As an entrepreneur who blogs, I work 7 days a week.
I love blogging but it requires a different mindset than working for 40 hours a week mainly to get a paycheck.
3: Invest Money in Blogging Resources
Do as successful entrepreneurs do by paying for their most in-depth knowledge.
Full time bloggers know it pays to invest in specialized knowledge.
Investing money in resources is the quickest blogging short cut imaginable because knowing what strategies work and acting on these techniques removes years of struggle from your blogging campaign.
Business owners hire coaches and invest in resources to amplify their success.
Investing in premium resources and hiring coaches helps you save time and energy because you’ll move into successful action frequently while rarely making errors.
Pros explicitly teach you what works and what does not work most clearly through their premium products and services.
4: Manage Your Energy
Manage your energy. Vibe high. Succeed.
Entrepreneurs typically work/play from love-fun to leave fear-survival-mode, to succeed more quickly and to inspire success-seeking entrepreneurs who blog.
I prefer:
- deep yin yoga
- prayer
- exercise
- ample sleep
- meditating
- reading and applying A Course in Miracles
to raise my vibe. But the techniques do not matter.
Raising your vibe matters.
Do what works for you.
Strengthening your mind cultivates your abundance consciousness which helps you act like a prospering business owner.
5: Create and Connect
My day is simple; I create helpful content, and I connect with fellow bloggers by promoting them and by commenting on their blogs.
Keep creating helpful content that inspires your readers. Keep connecting with successful bloggers in your niche. Observe your success expand.
Creating and connecting is vital to building a prospering business through your blog. Creating helpful, problem-solving content earns you credibility in the eyes of your readers. Building connections with successful bloggers gives you greater exposure and also adds a passive element to your blogging campaign.
Smart entrepreneurs run businesses that yield passive profits; unwise entrepreneurs allow their businesses to run them.
Stop trading time for money like employees.
Build a freeing vehicle through your blogging business like an entrepreneur.
6: Monetize
Monetize your blog. Run a business. Be an entrepreneur.
People buy into you and your helpful content; eBook and course purchases are a mere formality.
Some ideas:
- create online courses
- write eBooks
- embed advertisements
- engage in affiliate marketing
Get clear on your income streams by promoting your offerings freely.
Feel free to open as many income streams as possible. Be generous with yourself.
If you are generous with your readers you may as well be generous with yourself by opening passive income channels to run a thriving blogging business.
7: Look Forward to Bumps to Move Higher
Successful entrepreneurs who blog know bumps in the road lift you higher every time you hit a bump. If you focus on success, help people and sell your dream, the ride will be mostly smooth. Little bumps shake out fears that formed tiny anchors. Removing these little hindrances accelerates your blogging success.
Blogging like a successful entrepreneur means making a trampoline out of the inevitable but rare dips every blogger faces. Any experienced blogger knows that the down times seem to arrive early and often during newbie blogger days.
Prospering entrepreneurs frame obstacles as stepping stones; every moment of resistance positions you to step up the ladder of success.
Learn from blogging obstacles to develop a key entrepreneurial quality: being fully flexible when times get tough.
8: Rest
Rest. Recharge. Think clearly. Align with success.
Well-rested entrepreneurs emit an inspired, peaceful, irresistible energy. Blogging is an energy game. Rest to vibe higher.
Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep each evening. Nap during day time hours if you can steal a few moments.
Resting is important because entrepreneurs need to:
- feel refreshed each morning
- be recharged each morning
- think clearly in order to effectively plan and work their blogging day
Get as much rest as possible if you work a full time job while blogging part time.
Well-rested entrepreneurs tend to outpace everyone else because they see clearly and blog from a stable, prospering energy.
9: Sell Your Dream
Whether you live your dream or plan to live your dream, selling your dream is a next level tip successful bloggers teach.
Entrepreneurs offer you a solution. Entrepreneurs offer you a better way to live.
Share your dreams. People want to be on board with something special.
Inspire yourself by solidifying your vision.
Inspire success by giving your energy to success.
Share your dream regularly to inspire others to follow their dreams.
10: Leverage
For this blog post I:
- help bloggers through the text content
- sell my blogging audio course
- build my brand
- drive search traffic by optimizing the post for SEO
- share effectively on Facebook by tailoring the update
- share effectively on Twitter by tailoring the update
- share the post on LinkedIn
- write a two paragraph introduction and link to the post via Medium, a LinkedIn article, Quora, Reddit and Tumblr
- create a short video detailing one key point made in the post and upload to blogging tips related Facebook Groups as a reel, LinkedIn Communities, Tik Tok, Twitter and YouTube as a Short
Successful entrepreneurs leverage to reach a maximum number of folks and grow a maximum amount of business with each action.
Blog like a successful entrepreneur by mastering the concept of leveraging.
Wrap Up
Think like a business person. Do not think solely like a blogger.
Bloggers who “just blog” never make much of an impact.
Blogging like a successful entrepreneur means thinking like a business owner as you work your blogging campaign.
Go pro by thinking like someone who runs a blogging business.
