Your Thought Matters: When your blog will move to the next level?

Hey Radu, you are so right. It’s about setting your goals very high.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet them. When I started marketing last year and did my first business builder challenge, my goal was to have 1000 daily visitors to my blog at the end of 90 days. (I was a newbie and so excited then….lol)

Did I achieve it then, NO! But a year later, I’ve had several days when I’ve had over 1000 visits and I’m now getting over 22,000 visitors consistently per month.

So it’s all about setting your goal to move you to the next level. The higher the better!

Hi Radu,

This is creativity. I love it.

Asking your readers what they want to talk about is bound to bring about great dividends.

I personally believe that providing quality content on a regular basis should always be a goal. What I have noticed is that when blogs move to the next level, they tend to start selling ad spaces on their blog for additional steams of income. Nothing bad in that as long as the quality is maintained and the ads are well maintained.

Not sure I’d do that, but never say never.

Awesome interactions here, my friend

Hi Radu, I’m hoping to get my monthly visits above 10,000 this year which will be double what it was last year and 5X what it was a year or two ago when I started. That will be the next level for me.

It is an essential thing to know where we want to be so we can take steps to make it happen! Being that my partner more of the main blogger, I can focus on improving my writing skills as well as interacting and SEO stuff.

Hi Radu,

That’s a great question and definitely one that each person will have a different answer for since we all have different goals and priorities. For me, I am working to build my list and subscriber count. I’m shifting the focus of my posts and putting more effort into SEO because my rate of new visitors is so much lower than than return visitors. But the good thing about those numbers is that people who visit come back!

Excellent idea. I think that your blog has just moved to next level

You are asking when my blog will move to the next level, and this is a different question than when is my business going to move to the next level. The next level for me in my blog is optimizing the follow-up messages, structuring it in a form of a online course to help people achieve what I have accomplished and other things that I know.

And then it will be a matter of driving much more traffic so more people will be able to benefit from the value I share.

Good luck with the “Your thought matters” program!
Hezi recently posted..Why Network Marketing is Better Than Affiliate Marketing (For Newbies)

Hi Radu,
Great idea!

My thoughts for this year are:

1. Button up my site’s structure.
2. Flow value packed content into the site through the blog section and marketing funnel via my free ebook offer.
3. Finish creating my products – ebook, and course.
4. Drive traffic to my vision and create cashflow from the paid ebooks and course.

It has taken time to nail down the vision, create the plan, structure the content, and execute, but all worth it in the long run. I have a great mentor Pam Hendrickson who has helped me tremendously via her Product Creation Blueprint program. My theme and content has shifted from focusing on network marketing and internet marketing alone to what it is now – a site to help PREP people for success before they attempt to walk the stairway of success.

Best to Monday’s Your thought matters!,

Radu, I have to agree with everyone on here. This was a great idea. So, as a new blogger, what do you think is the most important thing to work on first? There are so many things that are presented to you, where do you start and where do you draw the line to focus on later (or not at all).

Hey Tonya,
Good question..As a new blogger probably the most effective thing to do is get yourself and your blog noticed..This can be done in two ways: consistently create content while improving it along the road and the second interact with people as much as possible on other blogs, yours + social media (this helps you understand who are you serving in order to come with solutions).
Does this answer to your question?

Radu Dascalul recently posted..8 Simple Ways To Skyrocket Your Blog Traffic

Hey Radu, I think you have to define the question taking it to the next level. It all depends on the purpose of the blog, and most importantly, the audience. The technical stuff like SEO, Keyword research, syndication, backlinks will take it to the next level in rankings, but if you are just writing for the pure pleasure of writing, then all that doesn’t really matter.
I think niche market blogging is one of the best ways to capture a devoted following. You can promote your blog to the offline world and then word of mouth does the rest, provided you are giving quality content.
The concept of Your Thoughts Matter is great though. It will not only encourage comments, but will provide topics for future posts.
Thanks!

Hey Val,
I like your comment! A little bit controversial I might say Well, writing quality content from pure passion is certainly great and it feels like so. Yet, it can be combined with seo and keyword research so it can be more visible.
.I know that there are many passionate bloggers/ writers who just outsource this task to a SEO company.
With all the internet going on, word of mouth still remains powerful..developing a loyal audience is a great long term investment to say so.

Thanks for the compliment It seems that “your thought matters” is well received so far.
All the best,

What a great idea to have this “Your Thought Matters” feature! I can see that this is beneficial to all of us who want to reach another level. I appreciate you… and, of course, thanks to Corbett Barr

My next level is to have my blog re-organized. I need to have the ‘About Me’ page re-written and put in the Categories. Syndication is also high on my priority list.

I enjoy reading your post and now I am expecting to be connected with many more bloggers who have left their valuable insights here.

Happy Blogging, Learning & Supporting Each Other!

Great idea Radu, to let people know you are interested in their opinion.

It’s a full time job keeping up the momentum on your blog while running a business online or offline.

I believe we are all constantly taking our blogs to the next level to maximise the benefits of being online. I’m often coming up with new ways to move my online office forward, key to me, is simply providing the best quality content I can for my readers.

Right now I am doing this with guest posts, which is driving some very good traffic to my website.

Would love to have you as a guest author sometime Radu, you have some broad ideas, my readers would appreciate your style. Let me know.

Radu, great post. Providing more regular relevant content is definitely high up on my list, and it probably goes hand in hand with my Alexa ranking target which is quite a few places removed from my current ranking, but I have improved by several million positions over the past month so I am feeling very positive about my goal.

I will also be looking to re-design certain aspects of my blog over the coming months to fit in with my new plans.

Keep moving forward.

Great blog post! I think everyone uses a blog in a different way. You brought up some very important key factors in blogging. I think everyone is using a blog to promote something. The best way to keep “taking it to the next level” would be by having a plan. Almost like a biz plan except a blog biz plan. I think if done right with SEO, quality content, back links, and other factors that you continue to improve on you blog will also grow.

So make a plan and map out each week how you can incorporate all the great key points mentioned above to keep taking your blog to the next level. This will give you a fantastic blog and asset to your business.

Great post!

Hi Radu,

I’ve moved both of my blogs to the next level recently, putting strong emphasis on SEO.

Actually 1 blog is pure SEO. I only comment on high ranking sites. So far so good, as I am consistently on page 2 or 3 of google for a “cash gifting” term which gets over 1000 hits a day, and with my metrics I see a fair gaggle of folks go 2 or 3 pages deep. Means plenty of opt-ins for me.

I am bringing my other blog up to. Emphasis on SEO but I comment on all types of blogs. It’s my networking baby.

One thing to mention, check out the rankings without using your google account..perhaps you heard about it already from Mavis, but here it is the link structure ( for the other readers as well):
Example for the keyword blog content ideas: https://www.google.com/search?q=blog+content+ideas&pws=0

You just have to add your keywords instead of mine: cash+gifting for example.
Yeah with commenting and networking you will reach the top position for cash gifting for sure
Have you ever tried Market Samurai? It has some great features for finding keywords and taking a look to the backlink situation.

A very good idea, although I am not really sure whether we are supposed to ask questions based on your top which in this case is “When your blog will move to the next level”.

More authority for me means people are able to trust that I am knowledge in the market area which I am representing.
