Not have to going to work every day, earn money from home,cafe or everywhere you like. Just need little typing to post on your laptop…

Is your goal to become a full time blogger?
Do you like the sound of blogging for a living?

Yup, me too. But then I learnt the truth. I don’t like doing anything in pressures , and “full time” just like an a job or employee.

Even something as fun & looks so simple to be Blogger but as blogging is not an activity I would want to do for the majority of my day. I like variety in my life and while I want
blogging to be a part of it as my Business , as an Entrepreneur I want to do it because I like it,not because I need to do it to make a living.

I remember last months when I first decided to become a Professional blogger. I monitored some of the other professional bloggers, the guys and girls making a
living from blogging. Darren Rowse and Yaro Starak was of particular influence on me because he was doing very well, had started
off as a complete Internet beginner .

I tried to emulate Yaro blogging style. I know
I have the skills to do it and in fact I’m studied on computer major even thought I can learn just like an Entrepreneur to be more better, more and more.

I had plenty of material to blog about so I knuckled down and committed myself
to posting multiple articles every day.

It didn’t last long.

Maybe I was lazy, maybe I was blindly following someone else’s lead without really thinking it through. Whatever the reason I wasn’t cut out for writing blog posts each and every day.
Yaro and many other bloggers are machine-like in how efficient and how frequently they can pump out good content for their blogs. These people work hard. They enjoy solid rewards for their labor, but I can’t do it like that. my motto is not to work hard, but to work smart, so I needed to change my strategy to still make fun blogging and blogging as my Busniness .

YOUR GOALS
I’m going to assume you are like me. You blog, you want to blog, you enjoy blogging and you want to increase your traffic. Most importantly you want to do it quickly and efficiently and not waste time putting energy into activities that
don’t produce fantastic results.

The first thing you have to do, and this is what I did when I decided full time blogging wasn’t for me, is to decide what your blog is for - what you want to get out of it and consequently what your audience should get out of it .

I decided that I would use my blog for three main activities -
1. To dump all of my knowledge built up from years into article. I wanted a repository of my skills and experience.
2. To increase my exposure - to improve the brand of my.
3. To dump all of my idea about Entrepreneur in Indonesia.
With these three goals in mind I went to work producing some solid how-to articles,
stuff you would read in books and manuals on Internet marketing.

“I wanted my best stuff out there so
other people could learn from me and I could
demonstrate that I was an expert in my field at least I know the situation at my field”.

In your case, your goals should dictate what you
want to achieve with your blog ..?.

If your blog is designed to help you get freelance
writing gigs, then publish lots of original creative articles.

If you want your blog to become the news source
for everything related to celebrity gossip then aim to post multiple
news-bite sized articles per day.

The point is to define your objectives and work to
your goals. Don’t follow someone else’s goals just because they appear to be doing well.

SMART BLOGGING you don’t have to work hard to be a successful blogger. You don’t have to post an article every day, and You don’t have to create something of ‘genius
level’ creativity each time you blog.

Of course if you don’t write articles you won’t get traffic but as long as you post somethinginteresting, creative, practical or valuable every once and a while your blog readership will increase. People that like your work will look forward to it regardless of how frequently you post.

When you start to post regularly, not hourly or daily but at least weekly people adjust their expectations accordingly. Remember you don’t owe anyone anything when you blog.

If you post 3 - 5 new articles per day people will start to expect it from you. You will start
to expect it from yourself and blogging will feel like a job because of pressures to publish of new content each day.

Now if that’s your goal, that’s fine, just remember you can change things if you find
yourself suffering because your set of goals. Don’t ever feel obligated to do anything.

In my case I started to post between one articles in Indonesian and one articles in english week .I could brain-dump my thoughts quickly and effortlessly into a blog post whenever the inspiration hit me.

I ended up blogging collectively for maybe 2 - 3 hours per day on average and I still managed to grow my blog traffic to daily readers. I didn’t have
to original post each and every day to do it so I’m editing an any newsletter I got or any intresting articles I found . There is a smarter and easier way for me to get blog traffic.
