Blogging Done The Right Way

My friend, Mike Paetzold, is your working man’s blogger. It almost seems like there is not a day that he is not blogging about something. Now granted he does have a few blogs to keep him busy and even though he is always posting, the quality of the content on each of his blogs does not suffer.

Of the ones I actually read I try to leave a comment, a worthwhile comment, about each one of his post. And so I was about to do so again this morning. I had jokingly thought about leaving a comment on him not taking a break and how he always seems to be posting. And then it hit. Not as hard as a 2×4 but you get the point.

In order to make money in this online business, in marketing or any business, you have to discover something that works for you and continue to do it. Once you have it right and everything is working smoothly, then move on and duplicate it again and again.

Now I would have to say that Mike, shhh… now, just between you and me, has discovered that secret. And not being sneaky about it either, kind of just going about his business. Ah, a successful internet marketer.

So, now instead of making a joke about it, maybe I should study and try and duplicate exactly what he is doing. Maybe I could actually pick up some tips that I could use in my business. See it pays to pay attention to those who are doing what you want to do and are doing it right.

Now I am not saying I can duplicate what he is doing exactly, but if I follow along and maybe ask him some questions, even pay closer attention about what he is saying on his blogs, I just might have a chance.

In one of Mike’s prior blog post, he was asked how often you should post to your blog. Mike did not have a definitive answer for that question. Only you can decide how much or how little you want to connect with your readers he said. Quality content is the key if you want them to come back for more.

Now maybe Mike’s business does not fit what you are trying to do. But I think you get the point, that if you want to do something and do it right, take a look at the people, a Guru even, who are doing what you want to do. Who are those successful people you could emulate?

If you get to a point where you are stuck you might be able to send them an email and ask for their help or a couple of tips that could keep you on track. They might even feel like you really are trying to become successful and it might take them back to when they started. It could turn out to be better than you had hoped.

But, let me caution you on one thing. Don’t approach these people, whoever they are, expecting a hand out. Your first words should not be, “can you help me get started doing what you are doing?” They will look at you in a better light if they feel you are at least giving the effort. You have to show some initiative. Then they just might give you that one tip that could take your business to the next level Or better yet, maybe they will even show you how it is done.

And look up Mike Paetzold and see some of his work blogging and you might discover some of his secrets. But remember, don’t let him know about it or let it get out. It can be our little secret.
