• I will share 12 blogging lessons I learned in 2012 that you can use in 2013 for your blogging success.
• There’s nothing so important about 2012 or 2013 – these lessons are time-independent and can
be used at all times!
• Let’s begin……

#1 Don’t be shy to learn everyday!
• There’s always something to learn on any topic
– Even if you’re popular
– Or have enormous knowledge on a subject!
Don’t be shy
Don’t let your ego take over!
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
I’ve learnt ….
many nice tips, and been introduced to nice tools from newbie bloggers who are connected
with me via social media or on my list.

#2 Networking is fun and rewarding
I’ve got some golden
connections in 2012.
There are fun connections,
business connections
and client connections –
all these are worthy
connections.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
You never know which
connection can open up a great
opportunity for you.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
#3 Help as much as you can (this will build your business)
Whenever I get a newbie blogger email me a
question, I take my time to do my research and help them as much as I can.
Every time I do this, I earn a friend or even a fan.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
You shouldn’t be spending hours everyday in
responding to every email in detail.
Don’t let this disturb your productivity or side track
you from your goals.
But take a little time to be nice to people and help
them out.

#4 It is fun to make money while sleeping
That’s the power of
blogging and having an
online business!
In 2012 most of my payments came through
while I was either sleeping
or shopping.
That’s what we call passive
income!

Make sure you grab my report on the topic: Can I Really
Make Money Blogging?
It takes truck load of hard work to get
there. But once you get there, you realize its true
power.
Don’t think you can start a blog today and you will be making money
tomorrow!

#5 Diversify your blogging income
• Everyone may have different ways to make money. – Use blog to get clients (web design, SEO,
freelancing)
– Direct/indirect advertising
– Affiliate marketing
– … the possibilities are endless!
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
• Don’t stick with only one!
• Include all possible income streams in your “system” so that even if one fails you won’t become poor.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
#6 Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
Don’t rely on one client, one affiliate product or even one blog!
For instance, don’t rely on search engine traffic – you might end up getting none one day.
Do not put your trust on one thing and hope that it will work forever.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
#7 Don’t forget to follow up
• There’s always a golden opportunity in a mail box
• Throughout 2012, I had a habit of digging through my old emails to see conversations with old clients, once in a month or so.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
I emailed 80% of them doing a
simple follow up.
I emailed old advertisers letting
them know that their ads stopped running
and if they wish to advertise again.
90% of those emails turned out to be
new opportunities and 60% of them
make me recurring income.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
#8 Affiliate marketing is grrreat
It is one of the easiest ways to make money
online.
Don’t have to spend time &
energy in creating a product!
No hectic product
launches! No marketing!
No need to do
customer/follow-up
support!
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
#9 Do not over spend (on your business)
Think over and over before using your credit card!
Don’t mistake me – you HAVE to make investments in your business; but….
You don’t have to buy every software, plugin and e-book out there.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
#10 Do invest in your business
Do not go for free or pirated copies of software.
Do not think about saving $100 for a month of sleepless nights in tweaking your blog’s
design.
If you can get a decent theme for $100 or get it custom designed, go for it by all
means.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
Spend your time on the most
important stuff that will actually
build your business rather than pondering over stuff that someone (or
something) else can do for you.

marketing tools I use >>>

#11 Collaborate with your competitors
• There is no such thing called “competition” with blogging!
• Your so-called competitors might be – Sharing similar stuff as you do
– Selling similar products as you do
– Sharing similar audience with you
But there’s only one YOU!
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
The more relationships I
established with my so-called
“competitors” the healthier my
blogging journey got.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
#12 It is not all about money
Don’t make it all about money.
Money is important,
but….
When it comes to money or
relationships, don’t make it about money.
Don’t break a relationship with a client just because
he/she did not agree with your bargain.
w w w . p r o b l o g g i n g s u c c e s s . c o m
Have a wonderful and a prosperous 2013!
