We learn lessons almost everyday!

– use them,

• we can save – a lot of mistakes,

– trials and

– time in the future.


• I will share 12 blogging lessons I learned in 2012 that you can use in 2013 for your blogging success.

• There’s nothing so important about 2012 or 2013 – these lessons are time-independent and can

be used at all times!

• Let’s begin……


#1 Don’t be shy to learn everyday!

• There’s always something to learn on any topic

– Even if you’re popular

– Or have enormous knowledge on a subject!

Don’t be shy

Don’t let your ego take over!


I’ve learnt ….

many nice tips, and been introduced to nice tools from newbie bloggers who are connected

with me via social media or on my list.

#2 Networking is fun and rewarding

I’ve got some golden

connections in 2012.

There are fun connections,

business connections

and client connections –

all these are worthy

connections.


You never know which

connection can open up a great

opportunity for you.


#3 Help as much as you can (this will build your business)

Whenever I get a newbie blogger email me a

question, I take my time to do my research and help them as much as I can.

Every time I do this, I earn a friend or even a fan.


You shouldn’t be spending hours everyday in

responding to every email in detail.

Don’t let this disturb your productivity or side track

you from your goals.

But take a little time to be nice to people and help

them out.

#4 It is fun to make money while sleeping

That’s the power of

blogging and having an

online business!

In 2012 most of my payments came through

while I was either sleeping

or shopping.

That’s what we call passive

income!


Make sure you grab my report on the topic: Can I Really

Make Money Blogging?

It takes truck load of hard work to get

there. But once you get there, you realize its true

power.

Don’t think you can start a blog today and you will be making money

tomorrow!

#5 Diversify your blogging income

• Everyone may have different ways to make money. – Use blog to get clients (web design, SEO,

freelancing)

– Direct/indirect advertising

– Affiliate marketing

– … the possibilities are endless!


• Don’t stick with only one!

• Include all possible income streams in your “system” so that even if one fails you won’t become poor.


#6 Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

Don’t rely on one client, one affiliate product or even one blog!

For instance, don’t rely on search engine traffic – you might end up getting none one day.

Do not put your trust on one thing and hope that it will work forever.


#7 Don’t forget to follow up

• There’s always a golden opportunity in a mail box

• Throughout 2012, I had a habit of digging through my old emails to see conversations with old clients, once in a month or so.


I emailed 80% of them doing a

simple follow up.

I emailed old advertisers letting

them know that their ads stopped running

and if they wish to advertise again.

90% of those emails turned out to be

new opportunities and 60% of them

make me recurring income.


#8 Affiliate marketing is grrreat

It is one of the easiest ways to make money

online.

Don’t have to spend time &

energy in creating a product!

No hectic product

launches! No marketing!

No need to do

customer/follow-up

support!


#9 Do not over spend (on your business)

Think over and over before using your credit card!

Don’t mistake me – you HAVE to make investments in your business; but….

You don’t have to buy every software, plugin and e-book out there.


#10 Do invest in your business

Do not go for free or pirated copies of software.

Do not think about saving $100 for a month of sleepless nights in tweaking your blog’s

design.

If you can get a decent theme for $100 or get it custom designed, go for it by all

means.


Spend your time on the most

important stuff that will actually

build your business rather than pondering over stuff that someone (or

something) else can do for you.

marketing tools I use >>>

#11 Collaborate with your competitors

• There is no such thing called “competition” with blogging!

• Your so-called competitors might be – Sharing similar stuff as you do

– Selling similar products as you do

– Sharing similar audience with you

But there’s only one YOU!


The more relationships I

established with my so-called

“competitors” the healthier my

blogging journey got.


#12 It is not all about money

Don’t make it all about money.

Money is important,

but….

When it comes to money or

relationships, don’t make it about money.

Don’t break a relationship with a client just because

he/she did not agree with your bargain.


Have a wonderful and a prosperous 2013!
