Finding Readers for Your Blog – What We Wish We Knew

Hi Reader,

How's your blogging week been?

It's the height of Summer here Down Under at ProBlogger HQ with the Australian Open Tennis tournament getting down to the finals this week.

I'm always inspired by the singular focus of these athletes. It's interesting how a seemingly small edge in performance can result in a massive difference in the outcome of a match. And the most experienced players just seem to do all the right things at the right times.

This is an approach we can adapt as bloggers. Instead of making rookie mistakes (which we're all going to make), we can observe successful bloggers to learn why and how they've succeeded - then do that.

This week's article is all about "what we wish we knew" about finding readers.

Champions realise that defeat - and learning from it even more than from winning - is part of the path to mastery.

Back in November of 2002 when I first hit ‘publish’ on my original (and short lived) Blogspot Blog I did so believing that this ‘blogging thing’, which I’d only just heard of, would be a bit of fun. I started for a number of reasons but in short it was curiosity and the hope of a new hobby and perhaps some new connections that drew me to it. At the time I was working three jobs.

Over time, through hard work and discipline, using the techniques I’m going to share with you in these courses, my blogs have grown from a hobby (some would say an obsession), to a part-time, then a full-time job, all the way through to a fully fledged business employing a team of people.

Hope you have a great
end to your blogging week!
