Bloggers face a series of decisions on a daily basis.
Future full time bloggers make one decision consistently.
Far and away, this is one of the best blogging decisions to make.
What is this choice?
Deciding to publish only long-form content brings compounding blogging returns over the long term.
Write and publish only thorough blog posts to make each post work for you.
Long-form content reaching 1200 plus words boasts numerous blogging benefits.
Google Traffic
Google ranks long-form blog posts.
Posts spanning from 1200 plus words upwards consistently rank on page 1 of Google.
This post has ranked on page 1, position 1 for years via the search term “successful bloggers to follow”.
Around the clock, targeted readers find Blogging From Paradise passively based on the time, energy and work I put into publishing this long-form content. Considering the few hours it took me to write, the post the year’s worth of passive, targeted traffic became a wise investment.
Making these types of decisions accelerates your blogging success significantly.
Google traffic is:
- passive
- targeted
- high quality
People searching for specific search terms find your blog posts passively. Experiencing around the clock success as high quality traffic and business flows through your blog makes for a life of freedom.
Picture yourself gaining passive blog traffic as you sleep, run errands or spend a night out with the family. Imagine circling the globe as a full time blogger; building a blogging business asset generating passive income is one way to become a digital nomad.
Publish detailed, in-depth, long-form content regularly. Each post becomes an asset. Each asset drives high quality traffic passively to your blog 24-7, 365, whether through Google or other channels (see below).
Organic Traffic Outside of Google
Long-form content boosts organic traffic through sites outside of Google.
Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn traffic increase for long-form bloggers because these posts drive targeted blog readers through a wide array of online channels.
Writing long-form content proves to be a wise decision because your Twitter handle, Facebook Page and LinkedIn profile can send traffic to your blog organically based on the blog post quality. Creating thorough content generates serious interest from intrigued readers on these networks.
For example, new Blogging From Paradise readers regularly visit my blog based on old posts I shared on Twitter and LinkedIn a while ago. Instead of hustling to get new traffic daily and burning out a steady flow of passive, organic traffic finds my blog based on the merit of each blog post.
Perceive organic traffic through channels outside of Google in the same vein as Google traffic. At the end of the day, people use sites other than Google to get what they want. Tap into the network of billions who use these sites to find what they want. Doing an excellent job with each post increases organic traffic accrued through a dizzying array of online channels.
Blogging Income
Doing an excellent job with posts goads readers to stick around. Keeping people onsite increases Google traffic and blogging income because people tend to buy after milling around in your cyber store for a while.
Consider offline shoppers. Casual shoppers become definite buyers by walking around the store for a long time. Casual blog visitors become repeat customers based on your long-form, detailed posts which keep ’em on your blog for a long time.
Detailed blog posts convert because in-depth content earns trust. Long-form content convinces readers; you know your blogging niche inside-out. Being convinced inspires readers to buy your courses and eBooks. Being convinced nudges readers to hire you to coach them. Convinced customers increase referral blogging business by mentioning your products and services to like-minded people searching for similar solutions.
Fulfillment
Professional bloggers enjoy the fulfilling feeling of writing and publishing detailed blog posts.
Adding in-depth, practical tips to posts feels fun because you experience a sense of accomplishment.
Imagine doing a job well. Doesn’t it feel good? Don’t you feel great about being truly helpful?
Writing and publishing posts spanning 1200 plus words – or more – offers you a feeling of fulfillment. Holding on to this feeling energizes you for the long-term blogging journey toward exponentially increasing profits.
Feeling fulfilled is underrated guys. Successful bloggers know that blogging is a game of feelings. Feeling good precedes success but the actual emotions in your mind make the journey fun. Enjoying blogging feels easy if you love helping people and experience a sense of accomplishment with every post you publish.
Pro blogging secret: love the journey to make the work feel like the reward.
Love the work to make traffic and income feel like extra’s, bonuses, icing on the cake or a cherry on top. Letting go of outcomes lays a strong foundation for your blogging business because numbers never scare you into abandoning the success-promoting process of creating and connecting for a while.
Publish long-form blog posts to feel good about delivering your best work.
Allow this feeling to stabilize you for the long term blogging journey.
Business Asset
Each detailed post drives blogging business by itself.
Picture publishing 100’s of business assets increasing your blogging income independent of your actions.
People frame stocks, bonds or retirement accounts as some common assets. What if you perceived every single long-form, detailed blog post you sit down to write in identical fashion?
In-depth blog posts become the gifts that keep on giving since each asset builds business organically without your active participation. Reviewing the Blogging From Paradise page 1 position 1 Google post above refreshes your memory in one particular search engine regard but consider all thorough posts potentially boosting blogging income through:
- Facebook Groups
- LinkedIn Groups
- Quora
- Tumblr
- Scoop It
- LinkedIn Articles
- guest posts
- genuine blog comments
- YouTube videos
- YouTube Shorts
- Facebook videos
- Facebook Reels
- Instagram posts
- Instagram videos
Maintain an online presence through these channels. Publish one piece of content along these streams daily or engage highly targeted readers for 5 minutes daily.
Each creation and engagement points users toward your long-form blog posts.
Every detailed blog post serves as a business asset that expands your venture.
Pros write and publish one thorough blog post and point users to it or allow folks to find it versus answering the identical questions again and again on platforms owned by other entrepreneurs. Full time bloggers build a stable of business assets via rich blog posts to go pro.
