“What’s the secret to successful blogging?”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“How do I build a profitable blog?”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I get asked these questions a lot. And my mission with ProBlogger is to address them.<\/p>\n

Let me start by answering the first question. There is<\/em> no secret to successful blogging, and no magic formula for a successful blog.<\/p>\n

But there are some common things many successful bloggers share\u2014decisions, behaviors, disciplines and habits\u2014that take them closer to a profitable blog.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the accumulation of the basic little things you do every day that makes you a successful blogger. Small but consistent actions such as creating and publishing new content, responding to comments and interacting with your audience are more important than almost anything else in building a sustainable blogging business.<\/p>\n

Habit forming was the big thing I noticed that really escalated the growth of a blog. Setting up routines, getting into the flow of all the different blogging activities and being disciplined about taking action is the not-so-secret to building a successful blog and making money from it.<\/p>\n

So how do you do this? What do you do first? What if you\u2019ve tried and failed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

31 Days to Build a Better Blog was created to answer these questions, and provide the solution of what to do.<\/p>\n

When I first came up with the idea for a 31-day blog post series back in 2006, I’d noticed that the things that really improved a blog, and the things I observed other full-time bloggers doing, was taking small consistent actions over time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From a blog post series to an eBook and now a course, 31 Days to Build a Better Blog has certainly evolved. And in doing so it has helped tens of thousands of bloggers.<\/p>\n

While a lot of people come looking for the secrets of making money blogging at ProBlogger, what I learned in the early days of ProBlogger was that what seemed to help bloggers the most was challenging them to take action rather than just gain knowledge.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the Course?<\/h2>\n

31 Days to Build a Better Blog is designed to make you think, but more importantly DO. The course is divided into 31 easy-to-follow tasks you can work through in your own time. Each step in the course contains:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Teaching<\/strong> – You\u2019ll be given in-depth video instruction on both the WHY and HOW of the task of the day.<\/li>\n
  2. A Task<\/strong> – You’ll also be given something to DO in that step so you make actual progress using worksheets, printouts and step-by-step guides.<\/li>\n
  3. Further resources and reading<\/strong> – Finally, you’ll be equipped with the tools to help you dive deeper on any task.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We’ve designed this three-pronged approach so you come away from the challenge having not only learned how to build a better blog but also achieved something with the knowledge. By the end of the 31 days I want you to have taken 31 actions.<\/p>\n

    In fact, by the end of the 31-step course, you\u2019ll have:<\/p>\n
