Just like at this time last year, the best we can expect and yearn for in 2024 is an end to the COVID-19 pandemic that has ravaged the world in the past few years.
And here’s the reality…
As a collective, if there’s any lesson we can take from the last few years, it is this:
When it comes to the pandemic, we cannot really count on anything!
Instead of betting on a return to how things were pre-pandemic, we should be seeking to create a new normal. One where we are aware of the health risks while finding safe, and effective ways to work, play and do things.

Sprint like Usain Bolt – The 14 Key Practices, Ideas and Innovations that will bring You Success as a Blogger in 2024
To sprint like Usain Bolt and hit it big as a blogger in 2024, you need to embrace these 14 successful blogging tips and ideas…
#1. Set your Blogging Goals
It was Brian Tracy who was famously said, “Success is goals, and all else is commentary”. Another famous expert, Tony Robbins put this way, “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”
How amazing is that?
What do you see as a blogger? Where do you see yourself at the end of the year?
Let me suggest that you set your blogging goals using the following ideas:
- How far do you want to go as a blogger?
- What do you want to become?
- What do you want to do with your blog?
Whatever goals you have, start by writing them down. Lifehack says that according to a USA Today report on New Year’s resolutions, people who write down their resolutions are more likely to keep them than people who simply think or talk about them — even if the only difference between these two groups of people is the act of writing their goals down beforehand.
#2. Start Blogging (If you haven’t started already)

I know the last few years have been very challenging with all the various lockdowns and restrictions around the world. I can understand if you’ve decided to put your blog on the back burner.

So, I want to invite you to come back home to blogging. There’s enough room for all of us in blogging-sphere.
#4. Blog Like Your Life Depends On It
Seek to blog every day.
Blog like your life depends on it.

Like Usain Bolt was in his heyday, be consistent!
Seek to amaze your readers with the quality of the material you post on your blog. Don’t be average.
Avoid every form of mediocrity.
Be awesome. Always!
#5. Work on Your Greatest SEO Asset
Let me shock you.
The greatest SEO asset you will ever have isn’t technical: keyword placement, backlinks, page speed, word count etc. No!
Instead the most prized SEO asset in your SEO toolkit is a writing style that’s engaging.
Here’s the reality…
If you can get people to click on your headlines and get them hooked, so that they read your content all the way to the end, Google will love your articles. And your posts will rank very well on Google and the other search engines.
It really is that simple!
So seek to improve your craft as a blogger.
At his peak, Usain Bolt was an amazing athlete. You can be an amazing writer.
No matter where your writing is at, you can become a better writer. That’s because no matter how amazing you are, there’s always room for improvement.
And you can improve your blogging in 2024.
As I said in an earlier blog post, when it comes to writing to improve your writing, I simply cannot think of a better recommendation than Brian Clark’s 10 Steps to Becoming a Better Writer.
Here’s what Brian said:
Write.
Write more.
Write even more.
Write even more than that.
Write when you don’t want to.
Write when you do.
Write when you have something to say.
Write when you don’t.
Write every day.
Keep writing.
Be the absolute best version of yourself.
