NEW SERIES: Growing Your Blog And Business in 30 Minutes

Issue #16

OK, so we’re going to run the first series for The Daily. Here’s how this is going to go down…

The subject is going to be things to focus on to grow your blog and business in 30 minutes.

In other words, we’re talking about how best to leverage your time. If you have just a small amount of time to work on your blog or growing your online business, how should you use your time?

It all comes down to being effective, and truth is…. some tasks move the needle more than others.

I mean, spending time tweaking your theme for the umpteenth time probably isn’t gonna do much, right? And hell, even writing another blog post usually doesn’t do much to move the needle in terms of building leverage and growth.

But yet, what most blog owners do are things just like that. Their time is limited. Perhaps they have a day job, or family to care for, or other responsibilities. And that blog that you have high hopes for ends up being relegated to an hour or so here and there.

But, if you have that limited amount of time, what do you do with it?

Write another post? Share stuff on social media? What?

That’s what we’ll be talking about.

As of now, my rough outline for this series consists of 15 installments. One per day, as usual. Which means we may be on this series for the next 3 weeks. Cool with you? 🙂

To make it easy to track, I think I’m going to prefix each subject line with “[GROW-X]”… where “x” would be the installment number in our series. This way you can group them together, keep track, or whatever. So, the first one will start with “[GROW-1]” and the next one with “[GROW-2]” and so on. You get the idea.

Oh, and one more thing…

These Daily emails are sent in real-time as broadcasts. From me to you. This isn’t an autoresponder or any of that jazz. Which means, to get every part of the series, you need to stay on the Daily list and get every email without losing it. But, things happen. Sometimes filters do weird things and emails can go missing. Plus, if people opt into The Daily, they aren’t going to get whatever we did in the past.

So, I’ve decided to begin archiving The Daily into an online archive which will be an additional bonus benefit of your Lab membership.

If you have a Lab membership, you can backtrack on The Daily any time. It will all be accessible via the top menu as long as you’re logged in. If you don’t have a Lab membership, well… whaycha waitin’ for? 🙂

So, that’s it for today.

We start the new series on high-leverage growth strategies tomorrow.

We’ll begin with a few things that you MUST keep in mind in order to move fast on your business, otherwise you end up sabotaging yourself.

Tomorrow, we begin.
