If you’re going to write every day, you need to get into a rhythm that feels natural for you and your readers. The easiest way is to do this is to write like you’re writing to a friend. There’s only so much hard content people can handle. And it’s too much work to make every …
Why you should work on your marketing daily
It’s easier to do things daily than it is to do them weekly or monthly. It’s counter-intuitive but it’s true. When I exercise daily, it isn’t even a thought. It’s a habit. I make time for it and it gets done. No excuses. And it’s the same with your marketing. If every day you publish …
The trick to daily blogging
I used to go running first thing every morning. I’d get up early, put on my running shoes and appropriate clothing, and get running. I’d be on the road before my brain even realized what was happening. No matter what happened, I ran. I ran through rain, shine, show, ice and everything in between. Usually …
To write daily, tighten the range of focus
One strategy for maintaining a daily writing habit is to keep within a narrow range of topics. Much like Barry Schwartz’s book, The Paradox of Choice, the more options you give yourself in terms of topics, the more paralyzed you will likely be when you sit down to write.

280 words daily for a month
There is a slow (but growing) trend of people who write and publish a blog post every day. Truthfully, I wish I was one of them. No, let me clarify: I will be one of them. It takes a lot of discipline to show up publish every day. It’s not that writing is hard, it’s …

You might be able to fast-track your initial progress by reaching out to people or having a stacked network. Publishing daily on LinkedIn and other platforms will definitely …
Fourteen hundred emails ago…
The last time I emailed you was September 8th. That was 28 days ago. And if you’re anything like me, you probably received about 1,400 email newsletters since then. Fourteen hundred. (That’s because I get about 50 newsletters per day. 🙈 ) You might not be as bad at unsubscribing as me, but there’s a good …
