  • Think about your objectives and write them down. For example, do you want them to share your posts on their social media profiles? Do you want them to recommend you to their followers? Whatever your goal may be, it is important to write them down so you won’t forget them.

Breaking Things Down

Now that you’ve thought about the goals you have to achieve, the next thing to do is to break them down into simpler tasks. Remember that blogging is just the same with any other project. To be prolific and productive means to be efficient in what you are doing. To do that, you have to be able to have an understanding of the scope of your project and how you can simplify a seemingly complicated process.
