I'm super excited today to welcome to the First ProBlogger Podcast!

This has been a long time coming and I'd like to thank all of you who have encouraged, nudged and at times nagged me to get this podcast going. I hope you enjoy it!
In this Episode
Today's episode (find it here on iTunes or listen to it above) is all about setting the scene for the month of podcasting that is ahead.

In episode 0:

I share why I decided to start podcasting
I talk about 2 traits that I've seen in many (if not all) successful bloggers
I issue you with a challenge that could take your blog to the next level
You'll discover what the next 31 episodes of this podcast will revolve around

This podcast will not be for those wanting a nice gentle passive journey. Each episode will challenge you to not only 'listen' but to 'create', 'build' and 'implement' the strategies discussed.

My hope is that it'll encourage you to develop effective habits that will help you to build a better blog.

Mentioned In this Episode
As we move into the first 31 days of the ProBlogger Podcast we'll be moving through the activities mentioned in the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Workbook.

Having the workbook is not essential to get value out of these next 31 episodes but if you do want to have your own copy of the material (plus a bonus 7 days of challenges) I've set up a coupon code to get a copy at 50% off.

From the 31DBBB workbook sales page use the coupon code PODCAST50 in the check out to get the 50% discount for the next month.

Again - there's no pressure to have a copy of the workbook but it's there if you'd like to have a copy as we move through the activities (and to work through again and again in the months that follow).

Also as mentioned in this episode - I highly recommend you install Google Analytics (or some other analytics/stats package on your blog as we'll be talking about it in a future episode and it would be good to have some data collected by then. Google Analytics is the most powerful stats program I've come across and best of all it's completely free.
