Putting all your efforts in writing a blog is time consuming. I agree with your 80/20 psychological principle. Thanks for sharing your smart ideas.

Great post! I always focus on promoting my site rather than creating content. No matter how great content you create, without traffic it’s useless..

I download your free ebook “how to easily get your first 5,000 subscribers” . IT’S VERY INFORMATIVE! Thanks!

I began reading this post with a specific perception about my ideal customer. The target audience I thought I wanted still matters but my thinking has turned a whole new page. I have not launched my blog but I’m actually pleased that I found Social Triggers first.

Derek, you thoroughly address the importance of identifying readers and I have to admit that has been one of my hesitations. And, the two questions that shaped that hesitation were 1) Where do I begin, to attract readers? Who do I want to be my readers? Now that my creativity is working with regard to readers I am more confident than I’ve ever been that I will build a website nothing is stopping me “from building a website that generates both leads and sales.” I am just thankful that I don’t have to start or build my website without Social Triggers.

Hi,

As a matter of fact I am trying to promote my content but somehow fail to get the response I want 🙁

Thanks,

Soumi.

I had the same problem, too. I discovered it was much easier to write the posts first as a word document and then copy and paste them into the dashboard. With time, I developed my own templates, which included formating for crossheads and photo captions, etc.

I don’t know where to look for my target audience.

I think the 80-20 principle makes more sense than the daily posting routines. Nowadays you can not expect to create a good content then have engaging readers from out of the blue, not without actively marketing it. Thanks for the great insight!

This is very great content. After 5 years blogging, 2 on my current site, with only 2 subscribers, I’m ready to make any changes necessary to get my content out there. Btw, my subbies are family members.

There’s a bunch of people in the comments here asking where the video referred to in this post can be seen. I’m adding my name to the list. 🙂
