Blogging Your Passion Podcast

Send us a textFull of ideas without a plan. Does that describe you today? Back in June of this year I was overwhelmed with opportunity. I had so many ideas I wanted to execute on and had no idea where I should spend my time. I was wrestling with:- What should I work on first?- Do I have the capacity to work on several ideas at once?- If I have to choose, which of my ideas do I put on the shelf for later?- How do I space out my ideas as to not overwhelm myself or my audience? Then, one magical day in June, my wife said, “Sounds like you need a year long calendar so you can schedule all these ideas.” That led me to creating a one year marketing calendar. This is a project I’d encourage every single blogger to tackle. Bonus Content: http://BloggingYourPassion.com/calendarImplement the Blogging System that 40x My Online Business!
