The wisdom and secret of having a successful business and/or blog of any kind is marketing. As I am continuously learning. Here are some golden rules to live by as you float your way into the clouds of dreams-do-come-true success.
It’s always:
40% Create Content / Products / Services
60% Marketing + Brand
Do these daily:
- Send out review copies of products/services
- Always be thinking about the next phase of your plan
- Compose at least 1 guest post per month for another A-List blog
- Become proficient in as many skills as possible to improve brand and marketing
- Spend time building links “the currency of the internet”
- Track your analytics stats monthly on a spreadsheet so you can see what you are doing well and where you can improve
- Comment on other blogs
- Use social networks
- Always be co-creating and working with others to leverage your time and abilities

Thanks Vienda! All very useful tips. I would love to read more on the idea of ‘building a brand’ and your thoughts on this.
I know it sounds silly, but I don’t think I want to ‘be myself’ on the internet (umm, that came out funny! What I mean is, you yourself are your brand and have your name and photo and stuff out there)… what advice do you have for the more introverted among us who may not want to be quite so personally visible? Will people still want to come and read my blog and my thoughts if they are behind an abstract name/banner/brand and not my own personal name and image?
Don’t know if I’m making much sense here!
Anyway, really loving your blog!!!

Honey, no matter how introverted or shy you feel, people will love you for who you are. Your individuality and personal style is what makes you stand out! Of course people will want to read about you. be honest, be yourself, share that you are introverted and millions of people like you will be drawn to your honesty and braveness. They want to relate to people who are like themselves and if you show the way then you will have many, many followers xo
I am finding your blog tips to be invaluable Vienda! Thank you xx
So welcome Emma, it’s my pleasure to share what I’ve learnt xo
