Listen to learn more. 00:09 Hello ladies out here are you guys doing today. 00:16 OK. 00:17 So today we're going to be looking at how to start a successful blog in one week or less. Let's get right into it. OK, I have a lot to cover today and I don't want to have it running for a long time. So what I'm going to do is I'm also going to put or set up a course or starting a blog course video course that is and I'm going to invite you to pre-register for a course when it's ready I'll let you know when it's done. How does that sound? OK. Right. So how to create a successful blog in one week or less, let's get right into it. 1. Mindset 01:08 So you know I always see this but having the right mindset about getting into blogging is so very important because sometimes it can take you 12 months to 36 months before you realize the gains of the effort that you put in. So, in other words, this blogging thing is a long-term project it's not something that you sort of do it for five weeks and then that's it. It's a long-term project. Just like podcasting, I guess. So having the right mindset and the ability to do it on a frequent basis is so very important especially for your audience. 2. Passion 01:57 In order to start a successful blog you first need to know what you're passionate about because you would need a big reason why you would continue to do day after day or even week after week or month after month generate or start a successful blog for your audience. And if you were doing that or writing a blog on something that you're not passionate about you're going to run out of speed in a matter of days or weeks because it's just not something that is has a building fire in your soul that would want you to write passionately about it for a very long time to come. 02:41 I myself have been blogging for probably about seven years and different blogs I can start a successful blog and in no time at all with my eyes close so to speak. But it takes commitment. You would have the odd time when you probably wouldn't be able to produce the content. So what I would advise is that you do well to avoid that is to create a few blog posts in draft mode so you can actually schedule several posts just in case you come up to a busy time. Or you have an emergency in the family or whatever it is. You can actually rely on those. All right. I don't want to spend too much more time yakking unnecessarily. So here we go. 03:36 Also you need to decide what or how much time do you have to commit to blogging so you don't have to do it every day. But you know once a week is nice once every two weeks is nice as well. It all depends on you and the audience. All right so mindset and passion. That's the first topic we've covered that now. 3. Niche Research 03:57 Next topic is research that sorry niche research. So although you may be passionate about the subject depending on what you want to blog about. For example, I'll give you a good one. Social media say for example you decide you want to blog about something like social media. And as you probably know or maybe you don't know this so many things change in the social media. In the last seven years, lots of things on Facebook has changed in LinkedIn and in all the different platforms that people use for social media. 04:36 Things change in a matter of months or weeks. They've got a new version or they've changed the type of videos they change the size of the post, they change everything. Ever.
