Get Become A Blogger Premium Free For the First Month (ONLY 24 Hours To Join)
July 8, 2009 by Tyrone
I mentioned a couple of weeks that Yaro and Gideon had released a free report entitled the Become a Blogger Roadmap. The report is the pre-cursor to the premium membership site that is open now. Also I gave everyone a quick guided tour of what to expect inside, so you can get a sneak preview of Become A Blogger Premium. I’m putting together a special package that will allow you to effectively get your first month’s membership for FREE! The catch is that you have only 24 hours to get this offer as of 2pm EST.
What is Become a Blogger?
Any of you who have followed me for any length of time will know that I’m a huge Yaro fan and that I bought into this program about three months ago and worked through it to build this blog to where it is now. After reading through the Roadmap free report I realised how powerful his new idea words and how you could leverage Social Media for your blog! Note if you don’t like to read, you can also get the report in audio format from the same link.
The Roadmap report shows how the new wave of blogging are embracing new technologies such as podcasting and video posts to stand out from the crowd and are promoting their blogs via all manner of social media avenues. They list 13 ‘X-Factor’ strategies for putting social media to use now.

Nicolas, who provides SEO help on his blog at Nicolas Prudhon dot com came to my attention a couple of weeks ago.
I asked Nicolas to do an interview with me because I saw that he had attracted a huge readership in a short period of time. After three months of starting his blog he already had 100,000 viewers and I wanted to find out how he did it.
Top 10 Tips To Increase Your Blogging Productivity
April 3, 2009 by Tyrone
I have been working from home for just over three months now, in the beginning I found it hard to focus and my productivity dropped, especially in the summer months when the sun was shining and beckoning me to go out. Today I’m going to share a few tips that I have put in to practise…
- Write down special goals – If you work from home, you have to do this – There are just too many distractions and no boss watching over your back every minute of the day. On my table I have a small card that I write down 2 mission critical tasks for the day. That way I focus on the most important tasks and outsource the rest.
- Wake up at the same time everyday – Set a time to get up each day and stick to it. I get up at 7.30am to exercise, then have my breakfast and start work around 10am. I stick to 4 hours of work a day.
- Turn off phone and instant email notifications – Having constant interrupts makes it harder to stay focus. I make sure there are no interruptions when I am writing a blog post because my readers want the best from me. Don’t you?
- Exercise – I find doing exercise in the morning gives me so much more energy and motivation for the day, if you don’t regularly do exercise, try it for one week and see how you feel. Your mind will be clearer for the day and you might shed a few kilos along the way!
- Tidy office – Keep your office clean by filing away piles of paper. If you have notes written down, transfer them to your computer and put a reminder to complete them. That way you will have less clutter and paper lying around.
- Music – Not for everyone but I find music really helps me work during the day. Put something light and soothing on in the background.
- Daily schedule – Even though you are working from home and don’t have to follow the usual office rules, try and set out a daily plan for yourself – start at the same time, have lunch at a set time etc – I find it helps to have a daily routine.
- Just do it – If you are like me you have certain jobs that you try and put off because they’re dull or take ages, make sure it gets done first thing in the morning when you are fresh and motivated.
- Outsource – Even though you can do a job doesn’t always mean you should do it – why not outsource that boring coding job which will leave you free to concentrate on more important jobs or jobs that you enjoy doing more.
- Close your door – If there are distractions at home, like people calling round or noisy kids, make it a rule to not be disturbed when your door is shut.
All of these are pretty obvious things to do but if you don’t do any of them, give it a go and see if your productivity improves.
