Friday’s upcoming events for authors who want to become a top blogger
Blogging success requires a constant stream of fresh, relevant content. Click here to learn how to use a Writer’s Dashboard to become a top blogger creating fresh content for daily posts and multiple guest posts.
Turn content paralysis to content excess
Discover an alternative to the situation that many authors and business owners find themselves in after setting up their blog, when they ask questions like “Now, What?” and:
- What topics should I blog about?
- What does my market want to know?
- How can I come up with new ideas for upcoming posts?
- How can I avoid repeating myself?
- How can save time and expand my influence by reusing my best ideas?
- How can I track content so I can turn blog posts into books and information products?
Blogging with a Writer’s Dashboard
In Managing Content with a Dashboard, Part 2: Blogging, I share the details the Writer’s Dashboard I created to plan and track my 5-day-a-week Published & Profitable blog posts and manage to submit frequent guest posts on other blogs. You’ll see how I keep track of what I’ve already posted on my blog, and what I post next on the blogs where I am a guest.
To learn more about managing blog posts & guest posts

It really is such a lot to learn, and to take on board. I´ve just started my own blog (sorry its in German!) and have a small following, but it´s certainly tricky trying to get traffic.

I think most business owners, marketers, and writers, underestimate the importance of managing content.
Personally, I did… Without a structured plan to manage all the content I create or find, I find myself wasting vast amounts of time looking for stuff, then duplicating things I cant find.
Thanks for the great tips!

Dear Stephanie:
Thank you for your kind words.
By the way, I enjoyed your blog post about the potential of SmashWords in your Small Business Growth Strategies blog today.
Looking forward to your Nonfiction Writer’s Conference later this month!

Thanks for commenting, Merrill:
From the way you created your new book, Marketing Your Small Business on the Internet, you–obviously–have become a master content management!
Best wishes–

Dear Jacques:
On the contrary, the best time to master a new skill, like managing content with a Dashboard, is precisely when you’re starting to take blogging, or any other social marketing, task seriously.
With just a few posts to enter into your blogging dashboard, you’ll find it far easier to keep up to date than if you had to spend several days getting caught up.
Your blog looked great and I wish you the best. Have you created a posting schedule and identified the key topics you’re going to post about?
Best wishes–Roger

The creation of the Dashboard couldn’t have been more timely. Creating Newsletters (Editorial Calendar), White Papers, Blogging, Guest Blogging, Co-Authoring a book, doing research, and other activities relates directly in having a “picture” aka a Dashboard of all those activities makes sense.
Thanks again Roger for your brilliance and another tool helping those with an exciting and busy life to stay focused. It just makes sense!
