Yes, you can do these five easy things right now. Like, today.
1) Put links to your website(s), blog(s), etc. in your email signature. Yep, even if you’re only emailing with your mom.
2) Subscribe to the top 3 blogs that you feel are direct competitors to yours.
3) Subscribe to the top 3 blogs you strive to be.
4) Purchase something from any Etsy shop you admire. When your item comes, look closely at it: how it is made, the packaging it came in (presentation), and how the seller dealt with your purchase. Learn from it.
5) Write down a one-line short-term goal (and, it can’t be “check email” — make it something you need to work toward). Whether it’s financial, website visitors, sales, clients, whatever it is, write it down. Then, tape it or pin it up where you work. Look at it every day. Only take it down when you’ve accomplished the goal.
Thank you so much for all of the very helpful articles. Great job in a short time span. Keep up the good work.
About to launch a blog and stumbled on yours…GREAT helpful info. I’m following religiously now!
Your ideas and information are actually valid and valuable.You’re on the top of my homepage so I don’t miss a thing.I’m very new to this after being a voyeur for a long time.
Interesting point, that #5. I think that is very clever…keeping it in your face, having your goal down in writing. Keeping something in the front of your mind can be difficult!
hey, thanks so much for your great tips and advice! I am just about to open an online boutique in a few weeks which was born from originally writing my blog, so your blog is just what I need at the mo to get support in my venture! thank u! x
Great post! Thanks for the wonderful tips.
Thanks for the great ideas!
am LOVING this bakery blog. i find your tips and advice well worthwhile and refreshing. thanks and please, keep up the good work.
The point that resonates with me most is the last one. That’s something I ought to try out. I have goals for the month that I try to accomplish but maybe I should have a goal a week and put it infront of me physically.
Awesome idea (not that the others aren’t, but yunno)
THANKS!
