Do this.
Avoid doing that.
Follow these rules.
Do not break these rules.
Be rigid. Be a blogging robot. Never use your mind creatively. Follow these steps or else things will go to poop.
Follow these rules or else nobody will read your blog posts.
Follow these steps or else nobody will buy your online course or eBooks.
Do these things to succeed
Do not step outside of the lines. Do not be creative. Do not be imaginative.
Before you question the prior paragraphs just pay close attention to mainstream blogging advice.
Do I sound ridiculous now?
I never mean to condemn bloggers. But I do want to shine the spotlight on mindless blogging.
Robotic blogging sucks the life force from your blog. Even if you drive traffic and income the experience becomes bland for you and your readers. But few even drive scant traffic and income through robotic tactics.
Blogging From Paradise Dot Com never really goes the bland route. I break blogging rules and follow others not to be cool but to trust my intuition.
I break common blogging rules with my blogging course and eBooks.
I break common blogging rules with my list and Google traffic. I look past each; the world rarely does.
I blog creatively.
Blogging creatively moves you into mindfulness outside of the robotic realm.
Mindless blogging robots who follow rules blindly slam into obstacles the moment one rule appears to fall apart.
Imagine Google algorithm changes. Picture digital storefronts changing policies. Pay attention to when your email campaign provider changes its rules.
Mindless robots complain because those who worship rules air grievances as rules change overnight. What can you do when your certain system dissolves? If following set rules brings success you will fail when the rules change.
Mindful bloggers willing to change rules through mental flexibility gracefully succeed with peace of mind no matter how the rules change.
I could care less about most channels if not all outside of my blog since I never worshiped each as a source of my success.
My blog is my success.
Does the world feel this way?
Hell no it doesn’t.
You NEED Google traffic. (Rule. Operate within it….or else.)
You NEED an email list. (Rule. Operate within it….or else.)
Bloggers genuinely believe that Google serves as the success source. Others think success comes from an email list.
Few question these beliefs because mindless, robotic bloggers never question but obey.
Never take this post in condemning or pejorative fashion. But do take it literally. Most of you mindlessly follow certain rules from time to time without thinking mindfully about why.
I am fully guilty of this mental error from time to time too.
But I also write posts like these to stress my flexibility and your potential to think, create and imagine something outside of the blogging rules.
Be a visionary. See what no other blogger sees to access untapped traffic and income sources.
Stop blogging in a box. Stop boxing yourself in with rules, regulations and stipulations.
Stop imprisoning yourself mentally which appears to be physical too, as your blogging system confines you.
What happens when the rules break down or change? Your blogging strategy goes to shit.
What happens when inevitable change occurs? Your blogging world collapses because mindlessness never seems prepared to handle change.
Robots do one particular thing without thinking. When the program breaks down the robot breaks down and becomes worthless.
Bloggers who mindlessly follow rules break down and fail the moment those rules change and you bet your sweet rump they will from time to time.
Why do bloggers vociferously complain during every Google algorithm change? The rules change and the mindless air grievances versus mindfully thinking creatively outside of the Google algorithm box.
Do you realize that my Google traffic continues to increase with each algorithm update and I never optimize posts for SEO save the rarest of cases?
Pay exquisitely close attention to this fine example of blogging outside the box, increasing your success and being totally unfazed as the less mindful blogging world freaks out and seems victimized by a Google shake out.
Claiming bloggers to be mindless does not insult them even though the ego prefers to see things this way. Mindless blogging means not thinking about the strategies that you follow. Robots do not think but obey. Mindless bloggers do not think about strategies but obey.
Think long and hard about this post before you proceed with your strategy.
I recall a wise man saying that most people would rather die than think…… and they do.
Pay close attention to the world away from blogging out there in the outside, external realm. Most minds mindlessly follow, obey and subjugate because fear scares them from thinking creatively, using their imagination and having peace and worldly success.
Why do you so few billionaires exist among seven billion minds?
In part, most minds seem to be mindless and the wealthiest mindfully create a vision and execute that plan for a long, long time.
Billionaires think radically different from everyone else. One billionaire used nearly all proceeds from a nearly 100 million windfall to fund for new companies.
Who thinks like that except creative minds with a vision, mindfully questioning and executing? Visionaries very mindfully use their imagination to create a vision, sprinting outside of the box and doing things which break many rules in the process.
That’s why they’re billionaires and most humans live week to week as far as their paycheck either for their entire lives or until they retire.
Think about the offline world and how it influences your blogging thinking.
Now is the time to think outside of the box.
Look to me if you need a little bit of inspiration. I admit to thinking inside of a blogging box from time to time but largely deviate from mindless, robotic thinking and action to do things quite differently here.
Find faith in my strategy. Last time I looked, my life is okay. Not only is it okay it is fairly liberating and peaceful.
Do you live a peaceful, liberating life?
If not, you have mindlessly followed rules to obey like a robot.
Follow intuitive guidance to step outside of the rules sometimes. Imagine. Create, innovate, and develop a vision for your blogging career.
Never mindlessly break rules just to be a rebel but always mindfully figure out rules that you need to break in order to experience freedom of mind and increased worldly success.
Bloggers did not need me to mindlessly follow all the Google rules, bowing to their precious algorithm, because I was not truly helpful in that vein.
Intuitive guidance led me to where I was most truly helpful for bloggers who resonated with my pioneering streak.
This is why I created my course and eBooks on the topics which I cover.
This is why I wrote and published the blog posts that I cover.
You needed me to mindfully break the mold in order to have the courage, faith and clarity to do the same.
I still follow a hell of a lot of blogging rules.
But I break just as many.
Sure hasn’t hurt me.
It won’t hurt you either.
