February 2013: Learn How to Build a Popular Blog

February-2013-Learn-How-to-Build-a-Popular-Blog

There’s one thing that I’ve noticed when I started interviewing well-known web designers and web developers: they all have blogs.

I’m serious, just think about it: Jacob Cass, Sacha Greif, Chris Spooner, Fabio Sasso, Chris Coyier, just to name a few..

The thing is that having a popular blog can accelerate your career in web design or web development:

  • When you have a popular blog, it’s easier to become well-known and respected in the web design/web development niche.
  • When you are well-known and respected in web design/web development niche, you don’t have to chase clients, because potential clients approach you themselves.
  • When you are well-known and respected in web design/web development niche, it’s relatively easy to create streams of passive income by creating and selling your products, because potential buyers already know you and trust you.

It’s all about building a strong personal brand and leveraging it’s power. However, it’s easy to say “build a popular blog”. How on Earth are you supposed to do that? That’s exactly what we will be covering this month:

“Why web designers and web developers should have blogs” – how web designers and web developers can use blogs to build strong personal brands, get more clients, and earn passive income.

“How to write great blogposts (even though you are not a writer)” – how to write hiqh quality content that will help you to grow you blog, even if the last time you wrote something longer than a paragraph was in high school.

“How to get people to read your blog when you are an internet nobody” - how to expand your readership beyond your grandma and your cat when no one knows or cares who you are (yet).
