Teach through your example.

I could share 18 tips for being a consistent blogger as a new blogger; nothing wrong with that.

Or I could blog consistently for 18 years as I have.

One teaches through sharing what others have experienced.

One teaches through what they have experienced.

Which blogger wins?

Bloggers who gain intimately personal experience win because genuine bloggers walk their talk. Authentic bloggers come across as being highly credible because none fakes it. None fakes it until they make it.

Readers typically believe deeply in genuine bloggers who posses ample experience to back up their content.

The best way to teach readers is through your example.

Walking Around London

I just spent 3 hours walking through Zone 1 of London.

The posh neighborhoods of Belgravia and Knightsbridge boast some of the most expensive real estate and hyper cars in the world.

I snapped an image of a sharp-looking Porsche 911 GT3. Gear heads who love Porches usually list this beastly ride as their dream Porsche.

I could snap an image of myself beside the car. But that does not mean I own the thing. Nor does it mean that I can actually drive the thing.

Bloggers who teach without gaining intimately personal experience to back up their content are like folks who snap selfies beside hyper cars with an inference of ownership. Unfortunately, this happened quite a bit during the Internet Marketing Wild West days of 2005 to 2010 or so.

Anyway, everyone starts somewhere. Sharing practical, simple content in your writing voice as a newb is necessary to establish a strong foundation for your blog. But consistently gaining invaluable experience by publishing content over 1000’s of hours spanning years is THE way to teach readers genuinely.

Readers sense your commitment.

Readers see your example.

Isn’t it easier to follow guidance from someone who does what the individual teaches you to do?

Of course this world is imperfection. No blogger is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Bloggers may not follow their own guidance from time to time. Yet those with integrity generally walk their blogging talk. Your blogging example teaches far better than lip service. Bold claims come and go. But bloggers who create content for 18 years certainly DO NOT come and go.

I feel like an online dinosaur. Every blogger who began when I did has quit, save a few rare individuals with incredible drive and strong clarity. Someone remarked on Twitter the other day how I was about the most consistent blogger out there. Others claim to set their clocks by my blogging actions.

I share neither perception of myself.

But I do know that my blogging example teaches far better than making baseless claims or sharing what I have not personally achieved.

If I Sell It I Did It

Every online course or eBook I sell….I did.

I achieved these goals. Readers asked me to share how to reach these goals. I created and sell premium resources to explain how to reach these goals.

Bloggers possess varying viewpoints on this topic. Feel free to sell something based on reaching generic goals. But getting specific muddies the waters unless you personally reach that specific goal yourself.

What About New Bloggers?

New bloggers sans blogging accomplishments have one job: publish detailed content for your ideal reader consistently to gain critical, personal experience.

That’s mainly it.

Without personal experience, you quit.

Being armed with experience positions you to go full-time.

The process feels uncomfortable sometimes but winds up being quite simple.

You need to gain experience to morph from:

beginner to intermediate blogger
intermediate blogger to advanced blogger
advanced blogger to full-time blogger

No other way to going pro exists.

Everything depends on your willingness to:

work
gain experience

Gaining intimately personal experience is how to go from “who would follow me as a new blogger?” to inspiring people to closely follow your blog via your content and glowing example.

So…..get cracking.

When readers see you doing it, readers tend to learn because your example is that powerful.

Everyone seems to wait around for permission to act.

Being one of the few who takes consistent action convinces readers to follow your guidance consistently.

Teach by your example.

Doing this is not always easy.

But doing this is a dependable way to grow a loyal readership.
