Be patient.
Be confident.
Establish posture.
Be generous.
Trust the blogging process.
Trust in yourself.
Be thorough. Be detail-oriented.
Cultivate these states of mind. Develop your inner world. Get comfortable with arising these emotions in your mind. Strengthen your mind. Do inner work. Get strong mentally. Wake up your mind diligently.
DO that.
Does this post appear to be highly impractical?
What about specific blogging strategies to follow?
I should list what you need to do blogging-wise in order to succeed……right?
Wrong.
I will prove it to ya.
Practical Blogging Tips
As of a while back, 82% of bloggers never made more than $100 USD during their blogging careers.
Imagine if 82% of human beings working any job never made more than $100 USD from the job during their entire careers. Most of you make 100 clams in a few days, or at least within the week.
But picture a niche, a sector, where 8 out of 10 human beings failed so spectacularly that for the entirety of their blogging careers that only 20% made more than 100 smackers.
I would assert that almost everyone in that niche fails horribly because some endemic problem swept under the rug for decades refuses to rear its hideous head. Making matters trickier, most high level pros do not seem to be aware of the issue. How do I know this? Most high level pros guide you to follow specific, practical blogging tips but almost never stress the fundamental of blogging success: how you think and how you feel while you blog.
Mindset is everything in blogging.
Mindset is everything in life.
If 80% of bloggers never make 100 dollars during their 1, 10 or 20 year blogging careers, and if we all have full access to the most highly practical, proven blogging tips, it takes not a Rhodes Scholar to understand this: the problem is in the mind of the blogger not in the practical blogging strategies.
Think about it. You and I know what it takes to build a successful blogging career in practical terms. Publish detailed content. Build genuine relationships with resonant readers. Open multiple income channels.
I paint broad strokes above, yet, following practical blogging steps to reach the above goals is fairly simple too.
But rarely do I meet new bloggers who exude:
- abundance
- confidence
- patience
- posture
- trust
- calmness
Curiously enough, every single one of these rare blogging birds either goes pro or seems well on their way to going pro. I see it to be a 1:1 deal. Blogging from a specific mindset lays the table for a full-time blogging career. Some of these confident bloggers publish short-form content. Some of these bloggers publish long-form content. Some coach. Some consult. Some write, self-publish and sell eBooks. Some embed advertisements. Some engage in affiliate marketing.
Why do calm, confident bloggers go pro despite following different practical blogging steps?
Mindset makes a professional blogging career independent of specific practical blogging strategies.
But the world makes the critical error of believing that mindset is nothing while specific practical strategies are everything. The world makes Google an idol. The world makes email marketing an idol. But if both were the sources of blogging success than all SEO-optimizers or list builders would become wildly successful sooner than later.

See what I mean?
Most bloggers struggle like hell to get Google traffic. I guess it has to be mindset and not the practical strategy itself, eh?
Some bloggers claim that cold pitching is the only way to get backlinks.
84,000 backlinks point to Blogging From Paradise Dot Com. I pitched two people; one as an experiment and the other ran a blog boasting celebrity contributors like Mark Cuban, Seth Godin and Jack Canfield.
My backlink building mindset seems radically different from most bloggers. I organically attract a heavy volume – including a steady stream from high level bloggers – because of my mindset. Of course, my mindset spurred me to follow practical backlink building strategies. But the thinking and feeling came first; the calm, confident blogging work followed.
Be Patient
Be a patient new blogger.
Develop a calm sense of confidence about your craft.
I advise beginner bloggers to publish long-form content. Yet being patient, calm and confident is the only way to publish high quality, highly targeted, properly-optimized long form content. Relax; being calm is the only way to patiently set aside 3-4 hours to:
- research a long form blog post
- write a long form blog post
- edit a long form blog post
- format a long form blog post
- publish and promote a long form blog post
Losing patience cuts that time frame down to 1 hour. Rushed work follows. Low quality work follows. How can a new blogger establish credibility if their hurried work instills doubt in the minds of readers?
See what I mean?
Everything is mindset.
The Work Becomes Easier as You Calm Your Mind
I never understood this concept until I decided to experience it.
Blogging work gets easier – then easy – if you patiently slow down, calm down, relax and do mindful, deliberate work confidently.
The quality of your beginner blogger work skyrockets as it meets your burgeoning confidence, mindfulness and keen attention to detail.
Once again; consider calmly setting aside 4 hours to research, write and publish a 1200 word blog post. Stretching out your timelines guarantees a job well done. Not rushing the process yields a trusted blog post even pro bloggers may promote to their loyal followings. What happens if their followers see your new blogger content? Some instantly perceive your blog in a high quality light. Gaining loyal followers of a trusted pro quickly accelerates your overall blogging success.
Struggling newbies hellbent on taking action but resistant to mind training will wonder how you did it?
How?
You thought calmly.
You exuded patience.
You blogged with confidence.
You set aside hours to do a detailed-oriented job brimming with success.
Conclusion
Blogging is mindset.
Drill this concept into your beginner blogger mind.
Develop internal qualities.
Make the external work easier.
Succeed by doing the one thing rare to beginner bloggers: look within.
