10 years ago, I had no idea what blogging even meant. I bought my domain and hosting. I winged it from there.
Thank goodness I evolved with the blogging times because I would still be lost, confused and struggling, if I chose not to evolve. Blogging is fickle. This medium weeds out stingy, rigid, resistant bloggers who fight change. I learned how being flexible prospers you.
A decade ago, I opened any old blogging income stream. These days, I only open passive income streams mostly because I evolved into being a world traveler. World traveling bloggers better profit through a predominant passive income model. Good luck trying to coordinate your schedule with clients when you’re 12 hours ahead in a place like Bangkok.
I observe my evolution. I had no choice. Either evolve and prosper – expanding my peace of mind – or resist, fail and stress out. I practice yoga daily to keep my mind and body flexible, open and willing to change. I suggest you do the same thing to evolve gracefully with change.
Change occurs on a micro level too. Forget about blogging trends on a macro level alone; little shifts from minute to minute need to be honored to coast seamlessly through your day, like a hot knife through butter.
A few moments ago, I uploaded a video. Watch it here:
Do You Evolve with the Blogging Times?
But I could not play the video because my internet goes in and out every few seconds. Everybody being home – many watching streaming services – combined with network repairs means rare internet issues these days. I would complain if I was resistant, fixed and strict in my blogging ways.
Since I am flexible, I turn off the internet, go offline and write this guest post. Do you see how being flexible to evolve quickly, easily and seamlessly makes life easier and accelerates your blogging success? When the internet becomes dependable again, I will upload and publish this guest post.
But if I whined and complained due to not evolving with the internet issue, I lose the opportunity to help you, to increase my blog traffic and to boost my blogging profits, too. Evolution picks off most bloggers because the blogging masses become fixed in their ways.
Being rigid locks you in to methods subject to change. Methods changing totally throws you for a loop. But flexible bloggers evolve with the methods changing, finding new methods or new approaches to the newly evolved method.
Look closely at your blog. Does your online real estate need to evolve? Every evolution begins in mind. Blogs cannot evolve themselves because blogs are inanimate objects incapable of doing anything. Flexible bloggers can change quite a bit, though. The key is to be open to change even if it scares you. Like any human, I fear change sometimes. But I do not stay stuck in my fear.
I leave my comfort zone to embrace growth because all growth occurs outside of your comfort zone, in a region of change, flux and evolution. Be flexible. Assess what needs to stay and what needs to go with your blog. Letting go what needs to go lets you grow your traffic and profits. If you’re really cooking, you will go pro and circle the globe, like my life. Enjoy the featured image; I snapped it in exotic Oman.
Releasing the lead weight of blogging bloat feels good too. I experienced this recently with my podcast. Versus recording and publishing daily episodes, I publish far more infrequently. First off, I felt better. But on a deeper level, I noted an uptick in listens. Why did I generate more listens with fewer episodes? I evolved. I changed. I trusted my gut.
Follow my lead to evolve and succeed with your blog.
