How to Start (And Grow) a Blog

Today I’m going to show you how to start a blog. And how to grow it in 2022.

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll learn:

The first section of the video is all about setting the foundation for your blog’s growth. Most people jump right into WordPress, install a bunch of plugins, etc. But the most successful blogs grow strategically.

Next, I show you why traditional blog posts don’t work anymore. And why Power Posts work way better for getting traffic and shares from your blog content. In fact, this is the strategy that I use to grow the Backlinko blog. And it still works.

Last up, you’ll learn how to promote your blog using a bunch of different tested strategies (including the most important of all: building your email list).

So now only will you learn how to start a blog from scratch. But I’ll also show you actionable tips that you can use to grow your blog as well. I hope you enjoy it.

I've been spending so much time lately watching these types of videos. I'm constantly skipping through them to try to to find *the protein, the value, the actual information* I'm looking for without wasting all my time on youtube. Buddy your videos are so informative i'm constantly pausing so I can take notes.

Great tips, #1 is the most important. With the help of your channel I’ve grown to over 120 subscribers in the first 2 months. It takes patience, hard work, and determination.

I am studying to become an SEO Content writer for B2B and have taken a few courses along that path. This 12 minute video just opened a whole new vision for me that nobody else even touched on. I think I now have a means of making myself standout from the rest of my classmates. Thank you Brian. I love your videos!

Tip #1 is probably the most critical for almost everything we do in marketing but also the one thing we tend to overlook. Great video Brian!

[hritikrajdm]

You're my favourite amongst all. I have learned more from you than all the other marketing gurus and brands out there combined.
Thank you so much, Brian! 💜

[SantoshSendha]

Yeah, I tried these techniques on one of my niche sites. Thanks

[DenaWarfield]

Thank you for all the help. I'm going to start with the home page and preoutreach strategy.

I've watched all your videos about 10 times I need more content!! Haha seriously though dude thank you so much, it's very helpful 🙏

[VezzaGio]

I wish i'd knew sooner about the homepage. I already published 11 posts. Thank you for helping us, Brian!

[omtechofficial]

I always take notes from his videos, thanks to actionable steps 🙏 love from 🇮🇳

I am always inspired by your blogs and videos. Thanks a lot, Brian. I came across this video a little late, as it's been two years since you published it. But still, the video is refreshing and new to me. Though I am following some of the ways, there is still room for more to do. I will take up advice on Emagnet and pre-outreach. It will work for me as well. Thanks a ton.

Your “origin story” is very valuable, Brian! It’s a great guide for those who want to start blogging (and eventually growing their blog). Stories always catch the attention because human beings love stories by nature. Determining the origin story, especially the third one (the problem that the blogger will try to solve), sets the blog’s value that will eventually lead it to success!

Focusing on my origin story. Great tips. Thanks
