3 Tips for Writing from Your Heart

After preparing a bowl of oatmeal I feel well equipped to write a heart-felt message. Soul food inspires any blogger ;) Writing from your heart is no easy task for the aspiring blogger. You want to fit in. You want to succeed. Get rid of these motives to write from your heart.

See why it is so difficult? Standing out and failing feel painful, so painful that few people on earth deliver a heart felt, energetic message each time they hit the publish button. This topic gets tossed around so much; hearing the words does not help you write from your heart. The process can be sucky lol....super uncomfortable, because you might be subject to criticism...I mean you will be subject to criticism from friends, bloggers, and heck, yourself. You will rake yourself over the coals after creating a heart-felt blog post for the first time.

No worries! I post many times daily, speaking from my heart, and I am doing OK, traveling the world, and yes, you will rock it out too. I promise :) But you need to speak from your heart, now, to become astoundingly heart-felt, and to speak an authentic, powerful message through your words.

1. Write How You Speak

Yes, this is tough too. Practice. Write how you speak so individuals can see and feel and hear your heart felt words. Take the plunge. If you crave success writing how you speak is critical for promoting your blogging voice.

2. Release Critics

People who lack your courage might make fun of your writing style. Many people criticize me but they wish they had my balls, to do what I do, writing from my heart, so I take the compliment to heart hahahha, and let go critics. Never let these folks inside of your head or heart. Proceed. As you were. Write. Prosper.

3. Listen to Your Inner Guide

Blog from the heart by listening more and acting less. Action plays a part in the blogging equation, but think about this; if you listen to wisdom and act, are you really acting? I think not. Silent listening transitions to movement but the act feels quite effortless, like cruising around on auto-pilot. Listen in. Relax. Blog from your heart.

4 Tips to Optimize Your Blogging Campaign

Are you a confused blogger? I have been there. SEO, optimizing, widgets, keywords, backoffice-speak…the whole deal can drive you bananas if you have no mentoring in place.

Luckily I am here to teach you ;) I started from scratch, having no clue in hell what to do, when to do it, why I should be doing it and how I should be doing it. After learning some blogging tips I began to make money blogging. Growing your blog from nothing seems like a daunting task but blogging with the right frame of mind puts you well ahead of the blogging crowd and eases any anxieties related to starting a new venture. We have all felt the terror, thank you….LOL!

Let me share my secrets with you.

1. Nail Down Keywords

Build your blog around a series of keywords or key phrases which resonate with your target market. Are you targeting professional bloggers? Build your keywords around the “make money blogging” niche. Consider home business or online business keywords if you are targeting these niches. Use keywords in most of your posts to effectively optimize your blog. Do not, and I repeat, do not stray from using niche specific keywords! Speak the language of your prospects or else you will need to take Rosetta Stone 101…..hahahaha….to learn how to communicate with these individuals again. Nail down keywords. Use these keywords to speak a clear, valued-packed message to your target market.

2. Simple Designs Rock

Simple, clean designs really do rock. Cluttered, unfocused designs confuse readers, resulting in many of these folks leaving for the exits. If you want to really succeed in the blogging niche consider using a plain, clear and straightforward design to appeal to your target audience. Simple, clear and direct speak a clear message to your audience; no frills here, no distractions, just an abundance of usable, helpful content which I want to scream at your attention, so you can use it and benefit from my insight. Yeah that works ;)

3. Hang Where Your Readers Hang

Why would you hang out with personal development junkies if you are a blogging blogger, right? Hang out with people from the blogging niche in Facebook and LinkedIn groups and through tribes to increase your presence online. Optimize your chances at connecting with a hungry reader; hang with people who want to to consume what you have to offer.

4. Have Fun to Fully Optimize Your Campaign

If you want to make money blogging start by having fun. Enjoy your blogging career by laughing more, letting your hair down and boosting your creativity by speaking with your writing voice. This requires you to let go worry worsts, non-creative bloggers and negative, pessimistic entrepreneurs but you were letting them go anyway, right? ;) Be a bright light for fellow bloggers. Promote your blog from an energetic space, NEVER allow criticism to get you down and you might just make a fortune by sharing your thoughts through your blog.

3 Tips to Build an Attractive Blog

What draws you to a blog? Soaking up good content might drive you but in most cases the content must be visually appealing. You are turned off by ugly blogs. Let's face it; few people see past a ghastly, poorly-designed blog.

Make your blog pretty. Attract readers.

Go Heavy on White Space

Going heavy on white space means....you guessed it; using plenty of white space compared to stuff. Content rocks but keeping eyes on content rocks even more. Attract readers by choosing to use white space extensively.

Take a look around this blog. See the white? Good. White space makes your blog and content all that more appealing. No real ratio exists; just make your blog pleasing to the eyes.

Use Bright Images

Do you dig my vacation images? I shot 'em with a nice little camera. People fall in love with eye candy. By posting images you appeal to the desires of just about any reader. People love bright, shiny images.

Boring blogs use few images. Note how the top blogs and websites on earth generally use big, bright and eye-catching pictures? Images speak volumes more than words. Use pictures to snare the attention of your target audience, and folks who just plain love eye candy.

Go Heavy on Content Light on Ads

Look around. Top blogs go heavy on content, or value. Some blogs which rake in hundreds of thousands in ad revenue each month built up a serious content base before the ad revenue flowed in. Why? These blogs became prettier after the content/ad ratio shifted, from decent, to heavily into the content and light on the ads type deal.

Post ads. Please. Make money online. But post more content to build an attractive blog.
