A Simple Framework for Success – 4 Steps every Blogger Needs to Take

I have been a blogger for a very long time. In fact, I started as early as 1997 with geocities as the platform.  I even hardcoded (HTML4) my whole site using only notepad.  I enjoyed those days but things do progress fast. I’m just glad that I am able to keep up.  I retired several sites of mine and restarted with hearty.ph. With the ‘rebirth’ of my blog, I want to also learn like a beginner.  I immediately signed up for the free event: A Simple Framework for Success – 4 Steps Every Blogger Needs to Take hosted by Elite Blog Academy and boy, I’m glad I did! It’s a great event for people who want to start a blog. I like how the trainer sends her message. It was clear, concise and easily understandable.  I’m going to follow the framework shared. And I’m posting here my notes.

A Simple Framework for Success - 4 Steps every Blogger Needs to Take

Does this sound like you?
• You’ve been blogging for a little while, but no matter what you try, you just can’t seem to gain any traction.
• You’ve had some success with your blog in the past, but lately you’ve felt stuck, like maybe you have reached a plateau.
• You’ve been thinking about starting a blog or an online business, but you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t even know where to begin.
Road block!
• Feeling completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of things that need to be done
• Trying to stay current in world that just keeps changing
• Struggling to earn a sustainable income from the work you put in
• Feeling like the rug is constantly being pulled out from under you
What is the road block that you run into most often?
If we allow these struggles to be our everyday truth, then we’ll not be able to achieve the goal that we want
We’re holding our potential to be a successful blogger
You just need a plan – a simple blueprint for success
You don’t need to be all things to all people.  You just need to simplify the process and have an easy to follow step by step framework.

Here are four super simple steps to creating a successful & profitable blog:

Refine your message

  • Your message is not just what you say but how you say it and how you present it
  • More importantly, your message is how you make your readers feel when they come to your site
  • Strategy
    • Let people know at a glance what your blog is all about
    • Write with crystal clear focus
      • How to write with focus
        • First impression (title)
        • Opening (first paragraph)
        • Central idea (heart of the post)
        • Useful logic & illustrations (bullet points, personal stories that help drive the message of the post)
        • Strong conclusion (make it feel finished)
    • tell a visual story

In all honesty, I’m back at square one.  This blog right now is all over the place, haha! It just shows how much interest I have in so many things. I intend to focus on 3 items I want to write more on. I will continue to write until I organise my thoughts and this blog. So in this framework, I’m still on step one even if I’m an old blogger, hehehe!

Grow Your Audience

  • Don’t try to grow if your message isn’t ready
  • Not all metrics matter (focus on one growth strategy at a time)
  • Sometimes, you need to go back to step one if everything is not working.
  • Strategy
    • Develop your elevator pitch
      • quick 15 minutes synopsis of what your blog is about and why people should read it
      • Understanding that your blog is not about you but your audience
    • Grow your email list
      • There is no single most powerful for your audience other than email
      • Ask people, create a compelling reason for people to subscribe (free ebook, freebies)
      • Making email your first priority
    • Leverage social media
      • For maximum results, focus all your efforts in one place at a time

Monetize your platform

  • Moving to step 3 doesn’t mean forgetting steps 1 & 2
  • Focus on the strategies that will generate the maximum revenue per reader
  • Strategy
    • Profit through ad networks (Google Adsense) – easiest to earn but requires a lot of page views in order to generate revenue
    • Profit through private advertising – working directly with brands, sponsored posts
    • Profit through affiliate sales – using special tracking links to recommend products other people own and earning commission when your reader purchases the product/s.
    • Profit through selling a product

Build your business

  • You are entrepreneur
  • Your blog is not your business rather a key asset of your business
  • You’ll need help to grow
  • Strategy
    • Learn to work smarter, not harder – concentrate only on the task that create the biggest impact
What Elite Blog Academy laid out is a great framework!  Honestly, I was so tempted to enroll on its $897 course considering how I enjoyed this mini event.  If someone would ask me where to get a course for blogging, I’ll definitely mention Elite Blog Academy. It seems to be a good course for beginners plus its community looks to be awesome.
