5 Life Hacks To Fall Asleep Faster

Sleep is an important aspect not only of your life but also of your overall health. In order to be productive and stay healthy, you need a good sleep every night. Losing sleep when you have a busy schedule the next day, will add to your stress and overall frustration. It is important to fix your sleeping problems before they become chronic insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that requires professional treatment. However, you don’t have to get there if you apply the following tips to get a better sleep every night!

1. Develop A Bedtime Ritual

What you do before you go to bed will determine the quality of your sleep. If you’re scrolling your phone or watching Netflix right before going to bed, you most likely have trouble falling asleep. On top of that, when you do fall asleep, you don’t get enough rest. If this is the case, you might even wake up more tired than you went to bed.

Having a ritual helps training certain behavior. The same applies to the bedtime routine. Consistency is key here as well. You can enjoy a cup of tea that has no caffeine in it – herbal tea or even fruit tea. Try aromatherapy and use your favorite scented candles to help you relax. Disconnect yourself from distractions and maybe use the last hour of the day to read an interesting book. All these things will help you relax before bedtime and look forward to a peaceful night of good sleep.

2. Journal

Writing your thoughts down has a true therapeutic effect. All you need to empty your mind of these worrying thoughts is a notebook and a pen. You can simply write down your impressions about the day that is just about to end.

Use your notebook to write ideas that will help you get where you want in life. And you can also put down things that you need to do the next day. Journaling and planning help to manage your time better. You will have fewer worries and you will be able to disconnect easier before going to bed.

3. Take A Hot Bath

Taking a bath will definitely help you unwind and find a state of deep relaxation. Light your favorite candles and turn on your favorite music. You can use bath bombs, salt or a relaxing shower gel. If you don’t like to take baths, you can take a shower. The warm water will help both your body and mind relax.

Falling asleep after a warm bath or shower is usually a lot easier. Plus, the quality of your sleep will be much better as well. This should become a part of your bedtime ritual too.

4 Avoid Technology

By watching TV or scrolling the feed you’re influenced by the information you consume. Your brain doesn’t relax when you do that. And if you stay away from gadgets at least one hour before going to bed, you’ll see the difference. Trust me. Ideally, it should be 3 hours. But you can always start with 1 and increase this time.

It is a good idea to disconnect your WiFi as well. Thus you won’t be bothered by any notifications and you won’t have the temptation to grab your phone.

5. Use Your Bed For Sleep Only

Your bed might be comfortable but you should save it for the main purpose it was made for: sleeping. If you like to take your laptop in bed to do some more work or check your emails, know that this is a very bad idea. It will interfere with your sleeping schedule and most likely you will stay awake longer than you need.

Your mind should be able to associate your bed with your hours of good sleep. If you get this habit going and you maintain it on a constant basis, you will feel sleepy naturally the moment you get into your comfortable bed.

Apply the tips to find the best bedtime ritual that works for you. But keep in mind that if you are not consistent, none of the ideas above will work for you. It takes several days and even weeks to develop a bad habit and it works the same for a good habit too. But the quality of your sleep is something you should definitely invest in!

6 Productive Things To Do Before Bed

Is it sometimes hard to switch off from a hectic day? Do you find yourself staring at the ceiling thinking about work when you should already be sleeping? I’ve been there, my friend 🙂 And I’ll give you a precious hint: watching Netflix or scrolling down Instagram feed are not gonna help! Now that we got that out of the way, let’s look at some productive things you can do before you go to bed!

1. Unplug

Disconnect from all your devices at least 3 hours before going to bed. This will increase your melatonin level and will help get ready for a calming and relaxing sleep. If you are used to falling asleep checking your social media accounts, know that this is not working in your favor at all. As a matter of fact, it prolongs your daily stress into your night sleep.

2. Have A Skincare Routine

Taking care of your skin should be a part of your self care night routine. Make sure to remove all the makeup off your face as you clean it every evening before bedtime. Use a good moisturizer that will nourish your skin during the night. You will see that you feel more relaxed as you take care of your skin. It’s a sort of meditation for me personally. Not to mention that you will postpone aging signs and other skin conditions that you can avoid by simply having a good skincare routine. When your skin looks good, you feel more confident and therefore, you are able to focus on other aspects of your life.

3. Read For 30 Minutes

Reading is a great way to unwind and disconnect from your hectic daily schedule. If you read for at least half an hour before you go to sleep, your mind will relax and you will be able to reduce your stress level significantly. You will also fall asleep easier as you help your brain to disconnect. Reading in the evening can also improve your memory. When you are reading try to read an actual book, because of the melatonin level, as mentioned earlier.

4. Visualize Tomorrow

Before going to sleep, try to focus on your next day. Try to visualize your next day without putting any worries into it or fear or any other negative energy. Simply go with your mind through what you expect your tomorrow to be like. Projecting a good future will definitely help you relax and drift into a peaceful sleep knowing that everything will be fine. If you want to have an ideal day, the first step is to visualize it before bedtime.

5. Plan Out The Next Day

You don’t even need to have a planner, get a piece of paper and simply write down your tasks for the next day. Doing so will help you clear your mind and fall asleep with a more peaceful mindset. Put your ideas on paper and get back to them in the morning as you wake up. Once you see how beneficial this habit is, you will most likely want to keep it. You will not have to worry about forgetting important tasks and your mind will be free to enjoy other thoughts before bedtime. I personally write down 3 most important tasks that I want to accomplish the next day.

6. Get Clothes Ready For Tomorrow

One of the things you can do to be productive before bedtime is also getting your clothes ready for the next day. Doing so will save you time in the morning and you won’t have to worry about what outfit to wear to work. Setting up your clothes in the evening also brings more peace to your sleep as you take one more item off the list. It is one of the best things you can do to not only ease your evening anxiety but also take some anxiety from the next morning!

For some evenings, these things will have to be a matter of discipline. However, the more you do them, the more you will get used to doing them. They bring a lot of benefits not only when it comes to the quality of your sleep but also the quality of your life. Studies suggest that it takes 21 days to implement a healthy habit, so be patient with yourself. Before you know it, you will have a healthy and productive bedtime routine that will improve your life at many levels!

15 Super Effective Pinterest Marketing Tips

Have you ever heard that Pinterest can bring tons of traffic to your blog or website? No, Pinterest is not only for fitness, fashion, and food. It can be a very effective marketing tool that can continuously drive tons of traffic on your website. If you’ve been somehow involved in internet marketing then you are aware of how important that is.

Here you can find an assembly of 15 Pinterest marketing tips that are effective in 2019 as they were in the year before. And yes, even though 2019 has just begun, everything you will find here is recently tested and works like a charm.

Learn how to grow your business with Pinterest marketing: Enroll in the Pinterest Marketing Course

Let’s get started…

1. Open a Business Account

This is the first and most important step you need to do. Having a business account means access to analytics, rich pins, buyable pins, and promoted pins.

2. Learn About Keyword Research on Pinterest

Even though most people think of Pinterest exclusively as a social network, it isn’t. It also doubles as a type of search engine. Ask any expert and he will tell you that keywords are the true currency of Pinterest. First, you need to learn how to find suitable keywords for your pins so that you can use them later. Without this, you can not expect any positive results from your Pinterest page. Pins without the right keywords are much harder to be found and get way less exposure than the ones with the right ones.

3. Add Keywords to Your Profile Name

Whatever your profile name, try to include some keywords in it. For example, your name is John Doe and you are promoting yourself as a blogger and a marketing guru. You can name your Pinterest profile “John Doe I Marketing Expert and Blogger”. The “I” is a nice little touch that separates the name from what you do. And at the same time, you got some catchy keywords attached to it.

4. Include Keywords To The Bio

Again, it is not just about telling people what you do and maybe reveal part of your personality, but also to appeal to the Pinterest algorithm. The trick here is to add two or more keywords while keeping things real and easy on the eye. Also, it is recommended you add a call to action to the bio. For example, visit my blog if you want to know more about this and that.

5. Claim Your Blog/Website

It is important to claim your website because once you do its link becomes clickable. That alone translates to more visitors. In addition to that, you got access to analytics which will show what people are saving from your blog/website. But in order to get access to the analytics, you need to paste a custom code on your website.

6. Make a Board For All Your Blog Posts

Even though your blog posts can be on multiple pins, it’s recommended to have a dedicated board for all your content. And when you create this board don’t forget to add keywords.

7. Fill up The Boards

Don’t just add your own pins or some random junk you’ve found. Combine your own content with high-quality content from your niche. First, keep the boards secret. Make them public only after you add at least 30 top quality pins. In case you have some personal boards, the professional thing to do is to keep them secret.

8. Follow Influencers

Once you set up your Pinterest page you need to start thinking about finding followers. The best way to start is by watching how the influencers are doing it. On top of that, you need to create a profile of your ideal customer. That way you can create targeted content and present that content in a proven and effective way. Much like the influencers in your niche do.

9. Be Consistent

Pinterest’s algorithm likes active members. Therefore add pins regularly. According to some experts, 30 per day is the optimal number of pins. Again, don’t focus solely on your own content. Make things more interesting by adding someone else’s pins on top of your own. But make sure that every pin is of great quality. Otherwise, don’t bother. Quality always comes before quantity.

10. Add Keywords to Your Pins

Keywords mean that search engines can understand what your pin is about. If you want your pins to appear on search results you make sure that you got your keywords in order and in place.

11. Add Hashtags in Your Pins

Many people follow hashtags and make searches using hashtags. Don’t miss out on those people and make sure that every pin features few hashtags. Pinterest allows up to 20 hashtags, but don’t go to the max. Instead, focus on four or five hashtags.

12. Call to Action in the Pin Description.

The all point of you being on Pinterest is to promote your blog and gain some traffic. The ideal pin should have a call to action that will make people click on it. It’s that or the pin to be saved. Worst case scenario people neither click nor save your pins. For example, a pin can contain CTA such as:

• Click and get this free ebook
• Signup for a free course
• Get this free cheat sheet
• Get free recipes
• Download five premium themes for free

13. Join Pinterest Group Boards

Group boards present a great opportunity to present your content in front of a larger audience. The trick as always is to provide super interesting content represented in pins crying to be clicked or saved.

14. Make Most of Tailwind Tribes

This is a tool that is created to help marketers and bloggers to connect to each other and share each other’s content. Tribes hold many similarities with group boards, but they are way more effective than them.

15. Make Sure That Your Blog/Website Is Mobile Friendly

Most Pinterest users visit the platform via mobile phone. That means much of the traffic you will receive from Pinterest will come from mobile phones. Therefore, if you want to take advantage of that make sure that your blog/website is mobile responsive.

Conclusion

There are plenty of other strategies and tips that can be used to drive traffic from Pinterest. There might be even some there are more effective ones than the ones mentioned here. But nevertheless, the ones here are proven to be effective and are still in use. Any smart blogger or marketer can use them and benefit greatly from them. They are easy to follow and don’t require special knowledge. Pinterest can be your traffic “goldmine”, just need to be willing to make the most of it.

How to Build Your Self-Confidence and Live up to Your Full Potential

There you are at a certain period of your life, sitting and wondering how did I get here? Why haven’t I done more? Why does it feel like I am stuck in some perpetual idle moment in which the only thing that seems going forward is time?

At the same time, deep in yourself, you know that you could and you still can do more. You know it, all your friends know it, yet there you are.

Bono said it best – “Stuck in a moment that you can’t get out of”.

Bono might be the epiphany of cool and success, but that doesn’t mean his lyrics are all there is to it. On the contrary, with some deliberate effort and strong determination, you can increase your self-confidence and live up to your fullest potential.

Don’t know how?

Don’t worry, you don’t need a life coach, a psychologist, or someone else to help you shine again. You can be your own guru and put yourself back on the fast track of success without anyone’s help.

After all, no one knows you better than you.

But that doesn’t mean you need to figure out everything on your own. To make things easier we’ve assembled a list of things you can do to increase your self-confidence.

Consider this your blueprint, the one-way path that leads only in one direction – success!

Here we go.

Rediscover Your Competencies and Develop Them

One of the best ways to start building up your self-confidence is by demonstrating real ability.

For example, if you are a good cook, start throwing dinner parties for colleagues and friends. Or maybe you were a good runner at some point. Regardless of your age, you can start training again and start competing.

In short, find something that you are good at and start building on that. Success in one area attracts success in another area of your life. You don’t need a high paid psychiatrist or a life coach to tell you the effect of success over self-confidence.

Replace Self-Criticism With Self-Compassion

Being self-critical can further lower our self-confidence. The biggest drawback is when our self-critical inner monologue starts. That’s when whatever left self-confidence we got left in the tank goes in the drain.

To battle this, and you must do, is to replace your self-criticism with self-compassion. Imagine that you are talking to a friend, not yourself. Approach the matter from a compassionate point of stand and not from a point of criticism.

Ask yourself, what advice would you give to a dear friend of yours if they were in your shoes? The thing is when it comes to friends, we tend to be much more compassionate then we are to ourselves. That is why you need to act like that.

It is a proven method that has been tested over and over in practice. Many people claim it helped them to go through some difficult times. There is no reason why it wouldn’t help you as well.

Challenge Yourself

Don’t aim big, make it a small challenge that you can accomplish by yourself. Something that takes you a step from your comfort zone, maybe something you haven’t done before.

For example, invite your colleagues for a drink after work, even that you haven’t done it before. Maybe take a yoga class, learn to knit, learn to cook a dish, things like that. These are all small wins that can bring big gains and that can restore your self-confidence before you know it.

Start Facing Your Fears

Being fearful and not trying new things go hand in hand, and has a lot to do with low self-confidence.

Being afraid to try new things only reaffirms your inner critic that keeps on repeating that you are not good enough for any of those things. It is what keeps you in your “so-called” safe zone which is nothing but a point of stagnation – the thing that doesn’t want you to move forward.

However, if you don’t try new things, if you don’t find the courage to step out of that comfort zone, you will never know how far you can go in life and what you can achieve ultimately.

Again, the trick here is starting small and work your way to the things that scare you most. One win at a time and you will find yourself knocking down your fears and realizing your true potential.

That’s the true recipe for growth!

Soon you will realize that in most cases, the fear of falling was unjustified. Yes, sometimes you might fall flat on your face. But you will not see it as the end of the world type of experience, but rather just another experience.

Re-affirm your Qualities

This is an exercise that has proven quite effective in reviving self-confidence after suffering a blow.

Create a list that contains qualities of yours that are relevant to the situation you got yourself into.

For example, you didn’t get that promotion you were hoping for. Make a list of all the qualities that make you a valuable employee. Maybe you are responsible, maybe you got some unique set of skills no one has in the company, you have strong working ethics or stuff like that.

Then use one of the points on your list to write a short essay (not more than two paragraphs).

Write about why that particular quality is so valuable and why it will be appreciated in the future. The next day chooses a different item from your list and write down another one. Repeat the exercise every day until you cover all your qualities listed there.

By the time you are done writing, your self-esteem should get a much-needed boost.

The bottom line is that increasing your self-confidence is not an overnight kind of thing, but something that needs a bit of work. It requires developing healthy emotional habits through proven exercises and devotion.

But if you are doing so correctly, you will experience a great psychological and emotional return on your investment.

Beginners Guide To Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is all about…..?

It is all about promoting a product on your blog and earning a commission every time some of your visitors decides to buy the product. For that to happen, he or she needs to click on the affiliate link and make a purchase. For every such purchase, a commission will be granted on your account. That’s what affiliate marketing is all about.

Learn affiliate marketing: the best affiliate marketing course

Affiliate commission 101

Basically, there are three types of affiliate commissions:

Fixed amount: You agree to a fixed commission regardless of the price of the product.
Commission per lead: In order to get paid there is no need for a purchase, just the person to open an account with them. Typically, the commission is rather low.
Percentage of the sale: Typically the percentage is higher for digital products (up to 50%) and lower for physical products (often less than 10%)

Affiliate marketing: pros and cons

Pros

You get to start a business with almost zero investment
You can choose products that you believe in and can sell well on the market
You can get commissions for years, even if you are not actively promoting them
You can only focus only on promoting the product or products. Someone else will be in charge of shipping, packaging and all that follows.

Cons

Your affiliate network can remove the product you are selling
Tons of competition that you will go against. Especially if it is a popular product.
Can’t control the payout threshold

How to select the best affiliate program

The affiliate networks are intermediaries between the affiliates and the companies. They provide the software and the links, and all in between that makes affiliate marketing work. They provide a selection of programs that make sure the process is smooth and uninterrupted. Some of the best known and most used affiliate programs are:

Amazon associates

Amazon’s affiliate program is one of the biggest out there offering commissions from 4% and up to 10%. Getting into the program is fairly easy and straightforward. Plus, there you can find almost any product you could think of. Not to mention that is a super reliable network with zero chances to be scammed.

Affiliate networks

Like CJ.com, Sharesale, Linkshare etc.

Independent affiliate programs

You can have your own independent affiliate program and give commissions to bloggers that want to promote your product or service. You make your own rules and decide how big the commissions are. Of course, you need to have a product or a service to sell.

Top strategies on how to promote affiliate links

There are all sorts of promotion techniques that have proven to be effective throughout the years. The following ones remain popular:

Social media

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram…were once goldmines for affiliate marketing entrepreneurs. Nowadays, they are goldmines only for those that truly understand the mechanics of social networks and how they work. Facebook still remains the most popular social network for this type of business. There are plenty of Facebook groups with millions of members where you can promote your products. Then there are the influencers with armies of followers that can promote whatever you might be selling. Of course, for a fee.

Email marketing

Yup, still works like charm, and yet is still largely underappreciated. But then many marketers don’t like to speak about it because it is their sweet spot, how they make tons of money selling or promoting products.

Write a tutorial

Write a tutorial to educate people and to promote a product or a service as well. And if it is your name on it you get to be recognized as an expert in your niche.

Write an honest review of the product you are promoting

Don’t hesitate to talk about its flaws, not just how good and effective it is. More importantly, compare it with similar products and explain why you prefer it. People with a nose for an honest review will cherish that and it can help them whether it’s worth buying or not.

Add affiliate links to older posts

Especially if you got some posts that are always visited and are relevant to the product that you are promoting. Just by making a few slight changes and adding a link you can add more cash in your pocket.

Important stuff to remember when starting an affiliate marketing business

Place an affiliate earning disclosure on every post.
Add no-follow to each of your affiliate links. That way you can preserve your ranking with the search engines.
Recommend products that you truly believe in and have used or still using.
Be authentic and honest! That’s what sells, that what made people earn a ton of money, and that’s what can help you earn big as well.
Less focus on promotion, more on recommendation!

How To Promote Your Blog

So, you want more visitors to your blog? Don’t worry, we got you covered.

Here are ten ways on how to promote your blog and in the process bring a ton of traffic to your blog without spending money on ads.

Simply follow the given guidance, apply what you learn, and you will be able to open the door to new traffic fast.

When running a blog, there is nothing more frustrating than spending hours writing an awesome post, and then having no one to read it.

Truth is that any new blogger that doesn’t have a large base of followers need to put some time and effort into blog post promotion.

So here are 10 places where you can promote a blog or blog post for free!

Facebook Groups

Nowadays, there are Facebook groups for every niche, every hobby, every interest. And they are massive in numbers, some of them are in the millions. Posting a super-cool blog post about something that is of interest to the group members can bring a lot of attention to your blog.

The only trick here is to comply with the Facebook group’s rules and avoid being seen as a spammer. If you post a link, better make sure that it leads to something that brings value or is of interest to the members of the group. Otherwise, it can be deleted or you can be thrown out of the group. There is no limit to how many groups you can join.

Twitter

Twitter is another social platform where you can find followers and promote your blog posts. You can start by following accounts influential in your niche and engage in comments.

That way you can slowly build your authority within the Twitter community and find followers. Again, the trick is to be relevant and on point. The Twitter community is a bit pickier and delicate than the average Facebook user.

Pinterest

Pinterest is one of those social platforms that is widely underestimated by marketing bloggers. It has a massive base of users and holds a great promotion potential. Pinterest among other things is a visual search engine.

The trick here is to create appealing pictures that can be later re-pinned by other users. Then there are the Pinterest group boards where you can place your work in front of thousands of people. The best thing of all – there are group boards in every niche.

Instagram

The popularity of Instagram has skyrocketed in the recent few years. IG doesn’t let you post links in the photo caption, but you can have some in the bio.

Then there are also the IG stories that you can use to drive traffic to your blog. If you have more than 10K followers you can take advantage of the “swipe up” option. If you have less than that you can rely on a free app called Linktree to include links in the bio.

Guest Posting

This one never gets old and has always delivered great results. All you need to do is to find blogs in your niche and ask if they are interested in having you as a guest blogger.

The vast majority of them will answer positively and it is very likely that in return they will ask to be a guest blogger on your blog. That’s how things work, most of the time.

Reddit

Reddit is one massive forum where people talk about everything and anything. First of all, you need to find a few subreddits close to your niche and comment with a link to your blog.

But before you start make sure that you follow the rules of the subreddit. And of course, be relevant and on point. Reddit is a community in which the smartest people thrive the most.

Comments

So yes, you can comment on other people blogs and forums and add a link to your blog. The trick here is to be thoughtful and your comments to be relevant. That way you won’t be accused of spamming and your comments won’t be erased.

Quora

Open an account and start browsing for questions related to your niche. In some of the answers, you can include a link to your blog.

It’s amazing how popular Quora has become and the number of visits it gets on a daily basis. Again, the trick is to provide good and relevant answers to what is asked.

Linkedin

Linkedin is not just for job posting, networking, and job searching. Both companies and experts share their blogs on Linkedin and engage with other people. Feel free to ride that wave and make the most of Linkedin’s growing community. Posting and sharing are pretty much as on Facebook.

Flipboard

This is a content aggregate platform that promotes news and blog posts. It’s a magazine-styled type of aggregator in which the most popular and most interesting posts and articles find their way to the top. If your niche is popular and you know how to write great blog posts than you can expect plenty of traffic from Flipboard.

There they are the top 10 places where you can promote your blog for free and get plenty of traffic. Remember the 80/20 rule – 20% goes for content making and the rest to promotion.

Once you get the hang of it, how each promotional channels works, fine tune your content, the traffic will come.

If you could combine SEO with your promotional activities you will be doing yourself and your blog a great favor. SEO and the promotion channels mentioned above can be a super powerful tool that will continuously bring large amounts of free traffic.

How To Grow Your Blog Like A Boss

As an Affiliate Marketer and a blogger I’ve made tons of mistakes, and they taught me tons of lessons. And when you learned a lesson, it’s not a failure, right? So today I’ll share some of the ways that helped me grow my blog and a couple of my niche sites.

Learn how to monetize your blog step-by-step: the Blog Monetization course

Now let’s get started on those tips.

Find your voice

I know that it’s easier said than done. And it totally comes with time. In the very beginning you may not even know the direction you want to go with your blog and it’s ok. Most likely it will change in a while anyways. But try thinking about your writing from a different perspective. The key is for your readers to be able to relate to you and your posts.

Take your visuals to the next level

Looks are not everything, but they’re definitely important. You could either hire someone to create a customized design for you or purchase a theme or a template. While the first option is always better, if you’re just starting out, the best way will be to purchase a template, because it’s cheaper and you’ll have more opportunities to experiment without breaking the bank.

Useful resources: Creative Market

If you want to stand out online, it’s definitely something you got to do.

Be consistent

Use the same profile picture for all your social media channels. Update your social media profiles so there are no incorrect or outdated facts. Consistency is one of the main factors of being successful in the online marketing world. And that’s what’s gonna help you find your voice and your style.

Schedule your blog posts and social media posts

Scheduling your content in advance is what’s gonna help you with consistency because sometimes life just happens and not everything goes as planned. Luckily there are tons of free and paid programs to help you do this.

Useful resources: Tailwind, Onlypult, Later.

Engage with your audience. And respond to all comments

You’re trying to build a community here, right? Otherwise, why would you be blogging? Acknowledge your readers. Communicate with them, be genuine. Answer their questions in the comment sections. And they will come back.

Get your butt on Instagram Stories and Instagram Direct

Are you on Instagram Stories? I hope you are, because it’s a wonderful way to share your latest blog post, behind the scenes or promote your next launch. A lot of marketers are screaming “it’s all in DMs”. And they are totally right. Are you promoting new program, course or an e-book? Encourage your audience to DM you if they’re not sure the product is the right fit for them. Don’t waste the opportunity to get the personal feedback.

Comment on other blogs

Be a good commenter, seriously. Write more than just one sentence, especially if you’re going to include a backlink. Be sincere. People may want to click on your profile to learn more about you. Just give them a chance!

8. Don’t forget about SEO

Trust me, you don’t need to be an SEO expert to be getting tons of traffic from search engines. Research your keywords. Include the main keyword in a title and meta description.

However don’t expect the results to happen overnight, because they won’t. If you’re just starting out, you may need good 4-6 months before you see that organic traffic coming to your blog. But it’s totally worth the effort. You don’t won’t to miss the potential readers, right?

So now is your turn. Share with me YOUR tips for growing your audience. I’d love to hear them.
