“The biggest sacrifice I’ve had to make over

[zihadhosenjm80]

“The biggest sacrifice I’ve had to make over the years has definitely been using pretty much all of my time towards my blog, especially early on. In the beginning, I was spending anywhere from 20 to 40 hours a week on my blog, when it was just a hobby—not even a true side hustle yet. When it became a serious side hustle, I was spending 40 hours a week on it.”

“Eventually, when I first left my day job to blog full-time, I was spending anywhere from 40 to 100 hours a week working hard to get more traction. Now I’m trying to keep my work to a little less than 40 hours a week, but I’m still sometimes spending 100 hours on a week on it.”

Blogging Advice and Tips from Brian Dean of Backlinko
Brian and I recently sat down to chat on my podcast about how much blogging (and SEO) has been changing over the course of this year. And while we got into all kinds of tactical blogging tips and advice about what it takes to create top-ranking blog content, he also zoomed to talk on a much higher level about how to stand out from a sea of competitors also blogging about the same topics as you are. Here’s what Brian had to share:

“The first thing I’d focus on when launching a blog, is positioning. If you jump into the tactics without nailing this part, it’s going to be a huge struggle going forward. Look at your blog like a product or a brand. What’s going to make your blog different from what’s already out there?“

“If you’re launching a fitness blog, why would someone read your fitness blog? Maybe you teach moms. Maybe you teach SaaS founders. Maybe you teach people that are built, how to get more built. Or maybe you teach people that used to be strong, how to get back into shape again. The point is, you want to have a positioning that’s unique and helps you stand out. Then you can create content that’s amazing and backs it up.” Plus, if you’ve chosen a topic you’re passionate about, you’ll have a much easier time writing faster and creating more impactful content for your readers.
