How to Write the Perfect Blog Post

I've gone on for a some time now on my man Derek Halpern. Sometimes it doesn't pay to recreate the wheel.

Our methods align perfectly and he is the master of keepin' it simple, so I thought, why re-create the wheel?  Check out his formula for creating the perfect blog post. 

With over 60,000 followers in less than 2 years, this guy knows a thing or two about creating traffic to your website. I bow down to him.

You can see me rant about him right here. You can also learn more about keeping people on your site once you've drawn them there by reviewing the 18 great tips to keep people on your website. These are time tested methods that work for both websites and blogs.

If you struggle with what works and how to grab the attention of readers, how to keep them on your site, it pays to pay attention to the folks who are blowing it out of the water. My readership has increased tenfold (literally) in the past year from applying these simple, easy to follow principles, which gives me a MUCH bigger playing field:

• more folks exposed to my blog
• more folks exposed to my services
• more folks engaging with me offline

Does it take time?

Yup.

Is there a formula?

Yup.

Can you do it alone?

Probably not. I couldn't, Derek couldn't. We all had to learn somewhere.

But trust me, if I can do it, so can you. This is a good place to start, to get your foundation down. Next week we'll go further in depth.
