Preface

I keep seeing this question, Is blogging dead?

That couldn't be further from the truth. We're in a golden age of online income where there's more opportunity than ever.

I've made over $50,000 from blogging since 2015 without any one-on-one phone conversations or in-person meetings.

The crazy thing is there is so much potential in front of me. I am a nobody in the grand scheme of marketing gurus. I’ve not scratched the surface of what’s possible. There are plenty of people who’ve made millions in the same period.

But that’s why I think you’ll relate to this book. I’m not far removed from the beginner perspective, just a few steps ahead of where you can be.

If you think about it right now, there are 4.5 billion people online, a majority of the world’s population, and it's growing every year.

95% of those internet users are purely content consumers who are not publishing anything of value online. Many complain about politics and do nothing to improve their digital skills. They are pawns in our new economy.

Meanwhile, the other 5% - the learners and content producers - they're the ones reaping all the benefits of this internet growth. That's where you need to be if you're looking to create a blog and turn it into a legitimate side hustle.

With a little elbow grease and luck, it may turn into a full-time gig where you’re living the dream of making money from home.

Every person on earth should have a blog. It brings you more opportunities since it connects you with people outside of your local area who have the same shared interests.

Are you looking for a job? You’ll give yourself a significant advantage by showing a potential employer your level of care by writing about what you love. Meanwhile, the competition submits a boring 1-page resume that gets a glance before hitting the trash.

The problem is there are 100,000 voices out there telling you how to get online. It's more confusing than ever to figure out which path is the best.

I manage about 20 WordPress websites (my blogs and local clients) with over a decade of experience, so I’ve witnessed the web’s evolution.

That’s why I want to help you launch the most professional blog within two weeks with a plan for long-term success.

Chapter 1 - 5 Easy Steps to Start a Blog

You want to start a blog on the best platform from day one.

A good analogy for blogging success is picking a lock.

You have to tweak each pin to a certain height, and only when you discover the combination does the magic happen. You may have a few in the correct position, and it doesn’t feel like it because you’re not unlocking the final result.

The same is true with the components of your blog. It takes an easy-to-use website, unique content, smart promotion, a connection with your subscribers, helpful sales offers, and a few other basics to make serious money.

There is a winning combination out there for you. Will you give the required effort to figure out the triggers?

That dedication to making it work stems from passion and curiosity, NOT the sole desire to profit.

Keep pushing, and you will make your first dollar online. When it happens, you’ll be more motivated than ever to keep the number rising in the future!

Let’s simplify everything into five easy steps that are fundamental to winning online, plus I’ll share FREE training as an add-on to this book to help launch your blog in 14 days.

Throughout the remaining chapters, I’ll expand on each essential component to successful blogging.

Pick Your Blog Topic

You first need to settle on a niche for your blog. Sharing random, everyday things won’t cut it. You need a specific angle.

Pick something you’re passionate about because that’s the only way you'll go through the work at the beginning stages to create the framework required.
