Simple: I am giving away access to The Blogging Bootcamp, my best selling (and most complete) course.

This Bootcamp, I mean.

Oh, and I am also “giving away” a detailed written feedback on your blog. I am going to take a look at your blog, go through your content, read your posts, and then offer some tips and tricks on what you can do to improve it.

There are two such prizes: one is going to be randomly selected from all those who take part in the giveaway, and the other one is going to be chosen by me.

How? Well… for that you need to read about what you have to do to take part in the giveaway. Don’t worry. It’s a super simple, two steps type of thing:

  1. Subscribe to the channel. Click here to do so.
  2. Comment on this video right here.

This video, I mean.

That’s it. I am going to select the winners Sunday. Also, the one I am going to pick is going to be the one person who has the best comment: something clever, funny, or even the type of feedback that would greatly help me improve my YouTube channel.

So, yeah, click here to head over to The Art of Blogging YouTube Channel and subscribe.

Cheers,

What I Learned About Blogging from The King of Advertising

~ Cristian Mihai ~ 3 Comments

If you were to ask those who work in advertising who’s the person who got them into the industry, most of them would say it was David Ogilvy.

Called by Time Magazine “the most sought-after wizard in today’s advertising industry,” Ogilvy was a visionary like few others. He managed one of the most successful advertising firms in history, and he did it with the effortless charm of those we call talented.

So, yes, there are a lot of things the king of advertising can teach you about being a successful blogger.

The Art of Crafting a Brilliant Headline

~ Cristian Mihai ~ 5 Comments

Admit it. You’ve worked and worked on your blog post. You genuinely believe in your words, and you are sure your readers will benefit greatly by reading them.

But now you’re stuck.

You just don’t know what headline to use. You have a few variants, but they just don’t sound good enough.

Should you hoist the white flag, publish it with a lousy title, and hope for the best?

Well, you might have heard that 8 out of 10 people never read past the headline. 

These figures underline the importance of headlines, and how short our attention spans have become.

[Blogging Mindset] It’s The Bottom That’s Overcrowded

~ Cristian Mihai ~ 31 Comments

It took me an awful lot of time to blog like me.

I am writing these words after having published over three thousand blog posts across three different blogs. Eight years of writing words on a daily basis.

Whether I felt like it or not.

The bitter truth of blogging? It’s easy to think that you’re getting a lot done. It’s easy to think that the world’s unfair, and that you tried everything, and that those who are successful just happened to be lucky.

What’s not easy is admitting that there are people out there who want it so much more than you do, who are willing to work more than you even think possible.

I write two blog posts before everyone else wakes up. Every single day.

Do You Want People to Read Your Posts? You Must Do One of Three Things

~ Cristian Mihai ~ 32 Comments

There’s this one mistake I see a lot of bloggers make. It’s something that I have often written about, expressed concern about, warned about, and tried to offer some valid alternatives.

Please, if you want other humans to read your words, internalize this next sentence:

Your blog is not your journal.

If you want to write about what your cat had for breakfast, that’s fine, but don’t expect it to resonate with people.

Yes, you need to tell stories. Yes, you need to share your personality. But if you make it all about you, nobody will care.

Blog about what you want, but know that certain ways of writing and subjects aren’t as appealing as others, so don’t whine when you see that heartbreaking zero next to your followers.

You can be authentic, unique, and sincere, but your blog posts have to do one of these three things in order to resonate with others.

How Do Blog Posts Go Viral?

~ Cristian Mihai ~ 9 Comments

If you want to have a successful blog, you not only need to get people to read your content (duh!) but also get them to comment on and share that content with others.

So, what will make readers want to do that?

It’s not about the facts. It’s not about the knowledge you share. It’s all about how you make your readers feel.

Want to know how to write content that goes viral?

Read on to find out.
