2. Define Your Niche What’s Your Passion?
Do everything sort of okay or do one thing really really well?

3. Commit to a Schedule Better Organization and Time Management
Creating a routine makes life easier - on Saturday’s I make dog food, on Sunday’s I write

4. Learn Basic SEO It’s Kind of Fun
Create Clickable Titles; I use http://www.impactbnd.com/blog-title-generator/blogabout
Use an SEO Plugin; I recommend Yoast WordPress SEO and ALL in One SEO (don’t use together)
Use keywords wisely
Break up your content with <H2> headers
