Everybody wants to write for the top media websites such as HuffPost, BuzzFeed, and others. I get it, that’s a lot of exposure and the byline brings credibility, but the way to becoming a successful as a blogger isn’t what you think.

I’ve read every post on Medium about how to become a successful blogger so you don’t have to. I’ve watched hundreds of videos on Youtube about this subject also. There’s a lot of conflicting opinions on this topic.

Before I go any further I have to interject that everybody’s idea of success is different.

After a year of researching and reading, these are my conclusions:

1. People (except immediate family) don’t care about you,

2. People don’t care about your content,

3. People don’t care about your brand.

A little harsh but the truth hurts. So, how do you become successful at blogging?

My advice for creating a successful blogging strategy? Quit concentrating on writing and do something else, that’s how.
