Marching your way to blogging success

I am fast in nature, I am fast in walking, eating, drinking, typing, writing and in almost everything I do. I also want to make effective use of this my natural character in the online world.
When I mean being fast, I mean achieving what took people years in months and what took people months in weeks.
You don’t need to be fast like I am before you can also achieve success, I am no special character… if you say I am, then I am just because you are not.

Soldiers Marchsoldiers march

Have you ever seen soldiers going to battle before? Soldiers don’t walk, they march, jug and jump. They deal with speed. Soldiers are always conscious of time, they want to do what they are doing in time, they don’t want their enemies to overpower them due to their sluggishness.
You are soldiers, you are fighting against so many other webmasters on the internet (literally). You are working to achieve more than some group of people, you are blogging, you want to dominate the search engine ranks, you want to kick out Wikipedia, amazon and others, you want to make your website an authority, you just want to get there. Do you think this is achievable? Is it possible? Yes! I say Yes! It is possible. If you can think of it then it can also come to fulfillment.

Hardwork

And I mean Hardwork.
Think about this, you are soldiers in battle, you are sleeping or relaxing while your enemies are working full force, who do you think will win the battle? If you truly want to have success (I mean success), then you have to be hardworking, you have to go beyond human imaginations. You have to work the heck out of yourself. Get me right, if you have money, then your money can work for you. Look at me, I am just a 16-year-old blogger, I can only afford my hosting fees which means i have to be creative, because I don’t have the work force, I have to do things on my own. I have to tweak my theme and site, I have to design my banners and logos, I have to guest post and even do my SEO myself.

There shouldn’t be any excuse for you not succeeding.

You don’t need to be afraid of you becoming sick or so, you can do it. Pls, I don’t mean you should use yourself till you have no blood in you, I only mean you should be hardworking, you should know you have done your best, you should work till you know you can’t work more than you have done.
When we are talking of marching, we don’t mean walk, or crawl but we mean march. March and let the earth tremble, let the earth know that soldiers are coming. I mean work hard to the extent of people saying you are shaking the world, work hard to the extent of people saying you are making the buzz. You don’t need to tell people, they will see for themselves.

Persistency

If you have ever seen soldiers in battle before, you will notice they don’t quit. They either do or die. They will be in the front of the battle and keep fighting, they have one aim, one goal and one vision… to destroy their enemies. Soldiers don’t leave the battle field until this one goal has been achieved, they don’t leave the battle field until they destroy their enemies.

Work as if you have no choice, I mean keep trying as if without you succeeding you are never fulfilled.

When soldiers are fighting, there is always a number of enemy they are fighting against, It might be a hundred or a thousand but the more they kill the less their enemies. If soldiers fight against a thousand enemies, once one is killed, it remains 999. You will discover that there is no noticeable change in a gathering of 1000 and 999, everything looks as if there is no change, that is exactly how blogging looks. If you try, you have won a point, the point might not look like you have any but it keeps piling up until everything cumulate to form success.

You can’t expect perfection overnight, you can’t expect total success in one month, it might take months and even years but you will always see the results of your work, you will always get a sign that you are progressing.

Your Goal

Do you have a goal? I wonder… so many people don’t have goals, and they expect to succeed. I wonder what you call success when you don’t have a goal. My success is different from yours, it is your goal that will determine your success. Your goal can be to make $1000 every month, once you get to that level, then you are successful. My goal might be to get to over 10000 unique visitors every single day, once I am there, then I am successful.
It is important to have a time-frame for your goal, and I wonder if it is still a goal without a time-frame. You said, I want to be making $1000 monthly at age 21, when? You might get there at age 100. When you have a time-frame for your goal, you become more committed and dedicated towards achieving it.

It is also very important to set realistic goals. It is not like saying the impossible, but I mean big goals. Let me let you in into some of my goals:

1. To build a mailing list of at least 20000 subscribers before the end of this year

2. To be earning a minimum of five-figure every month before the end of this year.

Are these not goals? I know it might sound impossible, but believe me, it is not. I hear you say, what does a 16-year-old want to do with five-figure? I need it for my future. If I begin to earn five-figure every month, then I can establish big companies offline, then I can easily build big and successful companies online and I can also let people know nothing is impossible, at least, not under the sun.

It is also important to have a genuine reason behind your goals, don’t just set goals because others are doing so, set your goals because of yourself, because of how it will help or impact you.

Building your life on the basis or foundation of another man will affect you, it will destroy you and it will have a long way to go in your life.

You are not Perfect

So many people fail to realize this, they just fail to. You don’t need to blame and abuse yourself because of the unexpected results you got. The fact that I wrote 3 guests posts a day does not mean you can also do the same. You have your own weak and strong points while I have mine.
The beginning of failure in someone’s life is when the fellow begins to think he his perfect, the fellow will be sorrowful, dejected and unhappy all the days of his life because he will always find fault in what he does. I setup a challenge for myself recently, in which I will write 21 guest posts in 7 days. I was only able to write 16, I came to tell you openly. I told myself that I tried and I did not just foolishly blame myself because I wrote 16. After all, I am not in school. You can do it, but don’t forget that the more you fail, the more easy it is for you to succeed. Believe you are perfect and you are a failure, believe you are imperfect and you are on your way to success.

Isolation

When I say Isolation, I don’t just mean separating yourself for no reason, I mean separating yourself from others who have nothing for you but a cup of discouragement. They are everywhere, they are the ones who will tell you that you can’t make it, they will tell you that you can’t be successful, they are those who don’t believe in you. You might be surprised that these set of people may be your own family, but try as much as possible to keep your blogging or internet related issue away from them. The more you try to tell them about it the more they keep on discouraging you. The only thing I need to succeed in life is belief in myself, i don’t need that of others, I don’t need any positive review or opinion (even though they might help), I only need to believe in myself. I don’t know if I am different, but I am such a person who does not care about what others say about me trying to achieve something, I will try to move forward. I don’t fight or look for trouble but I am most angry at those who are trying to tell me I can’t make it, they are the only set of people I think I ever quarreled with. You can make it, I assure you, you can make it.

If I keep on writing, I might lead you into boredom, My spirit is just flowing but I have to stop here, the web generation are the most hasty type (I don’t think I have those type here), so let me stop here.

Blogging is being done every here are there, you have no competition and you have a competition, but you don’t have to quit, you don’t have to fret. The internet is not for big and rich people only, we small boys and girls who don’t have a fortune to invest can also have our way, we can make it.

The above steps are solid steps which if you follow, I can append my signature on your letter of success, I mean I can assure you wholeheartedly that you are on your way to success and no single man (I mean, not one) can stop you.

    Although having goals is important I think they should be realistic ones. I know its hard to find the right balance when setting a goal but satisfaction of reaching a goal can fuel you into doing greater things.
