It’s easy to think: “UGH! I just need to get a blog posted!” Creating a blog that actually gets read, and even better gets commented on, is important as a business strategy. To blog smarter, there are smart strategies that will help your blog get better traffic and increase potential customers finding it. Graduates of my bootcamps have said that hits to their blogs went up 50% in ONE DAY just by:
Creating a key word title that optimizes search engine visibility
Placing 3 to 5 links within the actual body of the blog that are also keyword optimizable, what I call link love.
Ending the blog with a call to action. A question is a great way to tempt others to comment.
Posting your blog on your social media sites to encourage followers, friends and connections to read it.
Making sure your comment section includes that ability for people to share it with others via social media sites and it will “post” to the blog.
Of course there are many other smart strategies I teach, but these 5 will make a HUGE difference! Take a few moments after writing a blog and do these things to help your blog increase in visibility and readership.
Imagine if you went back to an old blog post and “awakened” it with these tips, what might happen! Which tips have you seemed to most neglect?

I was recently asked, “When did you start “Thinking Big” as a business owner?” Personally, I believe in “go big or go home”. I always have. What then is a “Think Big” mentality?
Jump in and make it happen mindset.
Ability to plan well for results
To set big goals and work back on how to achieve them.
To be willing to take a big scary “risk”.
Ability to see and seize opportunity everyday
These are just a few. None of them matter if you don’t do “one last thing” – Surround yourself with “Think Big, Go Big” people. People who will encourage you, challenge you, and ask you smart questions toward success.
