    Why 80% of Blogs Will FAIL this Year and How NOT to FAIL!

    By //

    Here is a statistic that should scare you. Over 80% of blogs will fail in the next 18 months. That’s over 50 million blogs. A humongous percentage of blogs that will fail.

    And your current or future blog could very well be one of them. Yes, you could FAIL as a blogger this year!

    This is what I mean.

    This year, 63 million new blogs will be created. I know because according to WP Virtuoso,  a new blog is created every half a second, and will all agree that there are 86,400 seconds in a day! So how many blogs are there in the world? I would say hundreds of millions.

    And this is the really scary bit for bloggers:

    GDPR: Everything You Need To Know About The EU GDPR

    By //

    Warning. There’s a new four-letter acronym in town. No, it’s not a swear word. Until recently, no-one had heard of it, but now everyone is talking about it. And it’s getting people really worked up. GDPR. Or more correctly, EU GDPR.

    It’s a new privacy law from Europe that potentially affects everyone from beginning bloggers to big businesses and promises heavy fines for those who don’t comply.

    This is what I mean.

    If you’re a blogger or other on-line business person. If you have an email list. If you collect, process or hold any other personal data for people on your list or members of your tribe. And if anybody on your list is a citizen of the European Union (EU), then the GDPR (EU GDPR) applies to you. And a breach of the EU GDPR can close your business and bankrupt you. More about that in a moment.

    But first, some more information about the EU GDPR.

    The Definitive Guide To The Top 12 Email Service Providers For Bloggers

    By //

    Size matters. What is the size of your email list? I mean, how many people do you have on your email list? And talking about your email list, which of the email service providers looks after your list?

    Back to size. Is your email list:

    • Anemic?
    • Teeny weeny?
    • Non-existent? or
    • Huge?

    [Case Study] How To Easily Monetize Your Blog With Just One Plugin!

    By //

    I get it! When you’re just starting out as a blogger, monetizing a blog can be challenging. No, scratch that. As a new blogger, it is a lot of hard work to monetize your blog. And it can be very overwhelming.

    Where do you start? There are so many products, services and companies to promote, so many applications to make, so many forms to complete, and so many passwords to remember. And how do you keep a tab of them?

    And can I be honest? Those income reports of bloggers who (against all the odds) somehow manage to make thousands of dollars in their first month blogging doesn’t help. Right ?

    Blogging [9 Reasons Most Bloggers Don’t Make It]

    By //

    Let’s be real. Although anyone can own a blog, blogging isn’t for everyone. Ouch! I’m sorry if that offends you 🙁

    This is a lesson I learnt quite early in my blogging career. That’s right! You can have a richly rewarding career as a pro blogger.

    There may be an estimated 152 million blogs worldwide with 1,896 blog posts published every minute or about 3.39 million blog posts published daily. There are so many blogs because people just start blogging without learning how to blog, how to create a blog, how to start a blog or even the best way to start a blog! And this is such a big shame because there is so much blogging resource out there. I mean, there are blogging sites for beginners with tips for good blogging, blogging tips for beginners and a wealth of information on how to start a successful blog.

    Still, blogging isn’t for everybody! And I will tell you why in a moment.

    But first, what’s a blog. And who’s a blogger?
