It’s been done tens of millions of time: a blog post is written. Someone has an idea to share with the world. Someone has a beef and they want to rant. Someone writes an inspiring poem. Because of the glut of so many posts, blog posts have become boring. When I scroll through my reader, my eyes glaze over. I long for something exciting. Something different.

Have you ever looked over a piece of your writing, only to realize that something’s missing? It’s so easy to get caught up in all the tips, tricks and techniques: Write a great headline – a number, adjectives, a clear promise. Have a gripping introduction to draw the reader in. Make sure you spell out a benefit for every feature. All of this is good advice.

A lot of people have been telling me they wished they could register for the Damn Fine Words writing course. They say that if they could just take this course…. They could finally start that online business, because they wouldn’t feel like they had to put off writing for their audience. They could improve their writing skills and get higher-paying clients, instead of the meagre income they’re slaving to earn right now.

Years ago, I started this blog with a pretty big mission in mind: to help you succeed. I wanted to tell you things you didn’t know. I wanted to point you in better directions. I wanted to share lessons I’d learned the hard way so that you didn’t make the same mistakes. I wanted to give you shortcuts that helped you succeed faster, easier and with a lot less stress than I had to go through to get where I am today.

Heard you need constant improvement to become a master? Heard you need those 10,000 hours of practice ? It’s hogwash. A goal of ‘constant improvement’ won’t lead to success. I learned this when I signed up for Damn Fine Words , James Chartrand’s writing course. Signing up excited me. I was excited because I was taking action towards my goal of ‘constant skill improvement’ so I could further build my business.

This guest post is by Belinda of The Copy Detective. Your blog is a good read. Everyone says so. Although “everyone” is really just people you already know. Like your Mum. So why isn’t your blog being found by other people? The millions and millions of people hungrily consuming blog content out there in the global online space we call the Internet? The cold, hard truth is that Google hates your blog.

You’re invited to a very exclusive event. How to find the time to write. That’s one of the biggest complaints I hear from busy businesspeople, freelancers and entrepreneurs. (Even writers complain they can’t find the time to write!). There aren’t enough hours in a day. There’s so much going on. You’re barely keeping up.

This guest post is by Jeff Goins of Goins, Writer. Some bloggers don’t start a blog to make money. They start blogging, because they have a message that the world needs to hear. In other words: Some bloggers blog to get published. Recently, I signed a contract with a book publisher. I had always hoped to one day publish a book, but I never thought it would happen in a few months.

This guest post is by Jaime Tardy of EventualMillionaire.com. I’ve interviewed over 50 business owners who have a million-dollar net worth or more. As a blogger and podcaster I am always so curious as to how they use social media in their businesses. If I were to generalize, most of the millionaires I interview use social media, or at least have someone in their company use it.

This guest post is by Karol K of ThemeFuse. Being the best blogger on the planet is just so mainstream. Why would you even aim for that?! Why not aim for something much easier to achieve, and be the worst blogger the world has ever seen?

One day she had me run the loop around the park and noticed that I had difficulty keeping a consistent pace, I would stop and start a lot. She suggested that I run slowly (which she claimed was smoother than jogging—running experts, feel free to debate).

The whole “turn over a new leaf, do something great, do epic stuff, get famous” sense of it all feels like high school. You know that feeling.
