I get asked this a lot on twitter, in fact it’s probably the most asked question I get other than how do I get so much traffic. This site has been live for 32 days now and in that time I have produced 54 posts, this being 55. That’s 1.7 posts a day. For me this figure is slightly lower than where I want it to be but for many it’s way higher than they think they can achieve. I’m here to unveil the answer to churning out great content consistently;

  • Inspiration

No man is an island. You need to interact with people and have experiences in different arenas. Think about it, if you were a person locked in a black room since birth then given a pallet and a brush the result probably wouldn’t be a master piece, you need inspiration and influences to give you constant fresh ideas. I get some of my ideas from my readers, from past business experiences, family, even the guy at the end of the bar. They all have a story to tell, each of them a walking post in what to do or what not to do. Each experience is related to your readers, because if one person has gone through it, a million have.

  • Passion

I have spoken to complete strangers about my site and online success for hours without taking a sip of my beer. I could do it all day, in fact I look forward to the day when I get invited to speak at a seminar about motivation and making your own way. I love this site, I love my readers, I love the comments I get even the odd negative one, because I can turn it into a positive without even thinking. You need to be passionate bordering on obsessive about being the best website you could possibly be. Whether that means searching out infinite facts to back up what you say or living and breathing your site by using related forums and interacting with like minded people on social networks.

  • Necessity

Necessity is one of the biggest factors that is driving me to write and promote, write and promote, write and promote. Without necessity you don’t have to do anything, you can write tomorrow, it doesn’t matter if you don’t beat yesterdays traffic. I want to be able to provide for my family, my children and my children’s children. Why did you start your site? Think about it and use it to drive you forward.

  • Guests

If you write inspiring posts you will have a flock of people wanting to come along for the ride in the form of guest posts. Guest posts are fantastic for building your content, traffic and fan base. If you sometimes find your self  short of time, using guest posts is another way to keep you on track, don’t over use them though as ultimately it’s your site, people come to hear what you have to say.
