As I have written before, we are now heading into the blogging summer slump time when the intertubes slow down, people go on vacation, some businesses put off projects, readers spend more time outside and not so much in front of the computer.
Of course the first thing most of us think of when things slow down is to take the opportunity for a rest. We all need a break, in fact I just got back from vacation (did you miss me? 🙂 ), but there is also an opportunity here to give your goal progress a boost.
If you want to keep your momentum, especially if you are in business for yourself, you really want to work smart. While others drop into a slower pace, you can knock up a gear and invest the time for a big payoff.
Why not use the summer to build up to a big project for the autumn? You can be simmering, constructing and testing over this period so you know you have something really good to unleash in September and October when people are back at work raring to go.
- Develop your content
- Reorganize your site
- Research and brainstorm topics
- Build up your community features and resources
- Create new products and services
- Plan joint ventures
That’s what I am doing, thanks to some encouragement, I am acting on my plans for building the 2008 version of my Authority Blogger online course.
Most of you will know, my business generates sales through my blogging. My content attracts visitors, builds confidence and converts visitors into taking up my services. I call making yourself the go-to person in your niche through your blog Authority Blogging.
For over a year I have been running this online course. Through coaching bloggers and service businesses in online marketing, I have been developing roadmaps and techniques, and this course puts these tactics into a step by step system that you can follow to achieve authority in your own niche. That means for you more respect, credibility and clients, and for me being able to help more people.
Over the coming weeks I will be adding course materials into the members area and giving customers one to one help and advice, along with behind the scenes updates about how and why I am doing things in a certain way. When the course officially re-launches in September you will get the full three month course but will have a head start on everyone else.
