There is competition in every aspect of our lives, we may not think so but there is. When we come to the online world it is no different.

In fact, the competition is magnified. Keyword research is a way of competing, the glittering prize is to get is to get onto page one. to elevate your content, to put your hand up to be seen and in doing so being appreciated and respected and at the end of the day reaching your audience and your audience rewarding you with the click of the mouse on the right button.

There is that saying content is king it seems in this fast-moving day and ever-changing age that is not enough, epic content is king, epic in every way shape and form.

Competition can take many shapes and forms, depending on and in which area we are targeting. Sometimes things go smoothly and sometimes they don't.

The best bit of business advice I ever received was from an unassuming and extremely successful business person, one thing that I have observed over time is that the successful folks are usually unassuming and very humble, but also so willing to share their experience skills and knowledge.

Don't look over that fence, just you worry about doing the best job that you can for your customers or potential customers, the rest will take care of its self.

Well, that is short and sweet, and when I have that fixed on my radar it serves me very well. Trouble is we can lose sight of it from time to time, get off tack, notice I say tack, as in direction, it can be that we set sail in a slightly different direction that takes us from our core objectives.

"Stick to the knitting and you will end up with a jersey, that's what knitting is all about."



Yikes there is competition?

Meet the team, not my team I guess they are the competition, one perspective could be to say wow they have creatively written all over them, how can one compete. Another perspective could be to think wow that's a massive salary bill they will have to crank out some work to meet their overheads, maybe, we can compete.

One of the first rules for success in business is never trying to compete on price you will always end up losing if not one then both you and your competition, it is a no-win situation, just a personal opinion.

So how do we compete remember that advice, do your best for your customers, look to your weaknesses and turn them into to strengths, turn up with your A game every day and bringing in a plan, B, C and D kind of help's as well?

Look at all the ways you can do the best job that you are capable of doing with the resources that you have. Starting out can be hard getting over all these road bumps can suck the energy out of the best of anyone.

Focusing on delivering our best, works extremely well, there is competition for sure if we determine to run our own races we do succeed.

Utilizing all the knowledge that we can lay our hands and minds on, all the resources that are available to us, all the support that we have close at hand, mixing with like-minded folks, then we are well-placed to be first out of the starting gate and first across the line.

Sometimes, we can feel like we are a team of one, not so for us folks at Wealthy Affiliate, we are one for sure but we have a huge organization and resources behind us, a huge community of folks that are prepared to share and care for their fellow travelers.

We can take on the world and succeed.

It is such a motivating factor let it work for you as well.

Thanks for reading.

Alex Evans

have a nice day

Fantastic post Alex! It's so true that we can get so distracted by what is going on around us.

We must focus on ourselves and give the best we can. I have been taught to focus only on the things that I can control and influence. The rest is wasted effort.

Hi Nick,
it can be hard to remain focused on what we need to be doing, doing our best does bring results. That looks like a really valuable lesson,

" Focus only on the things that I can control and influence "

Thank you for sharing your insights, much appreciated.

Alex

very inspirational, thanks Alec.

Hi, Steven, you are most welcome, how is your self-challenge going, that is some undertaking, you will be learning heaps and also learning heaps about yourself on the way. thank you for stopping by and I am pleased that you found this post inspiring.

Alex

Thanks, Alex. It's going okay.
I had a number of time sensitive tasks to do last week so a little slow on my site. I guest authored an article for Karen that came out really good. But feel refreshed and can take on much more again next week.
Today, finish my daughter's tax returns!

Thanks for sharing Steve, looks like you have things ticking over nicely, I am reminded of that saying,

"If you want things done ask a busy person"

Best wishes for the coming week.

Alex.

Thanks, Alex
Have a restful Sunday.

Will do Steve, same to you.

Wonderful wonderful post Alex!

I love competing and I am fierce with it but I compete with my BEST SELF for that is all I can be!

My best self focusses on my key strengths and passions:

Helping

Serving

Teaching

Guiding

Supporting

Uplifting

Loving

That’s my form of competition!

The more I give...the more I receive! Funny how that works!!!

A Huge Fan of Yours,

Barb

That is a very good resume there Barb, it is the strangest thing we all come to online marketing looking for, change, looking to enhance our lifestyles to get ahead and then we all gravitate around to helping folks, not in that helping folks out but in that helping folks up kind of style.

The only real battle that we all face is the battle that we wage with our selves, for some, it takes a lifetime of struggle for others they twig onto it early in the piece. the pout come is the same tame our sleeves and know ourselves and then there is not much we cannot accomplish.

Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words, much appreciated.

Alex

Thanks Coach..... I consider myself lucky to be on your team! Cheers

Hi, Courtney, that is a long time you will have experienced many changes none so much as the online world. thank you for sharing much appreciated.

Superb post, Alex. I particularly love the quote about knitting. I knitted a Jersey once, because I had to at school. It had so many holes in it, when it came out the wash, it was wool.
Luckily my blog posts never have to go into the washing machine though hopefully I'm a better blogger than knitter.
I'll be sure to take your advice and focus on delivering my best and running my own race.
Thank you.

Classic Lauren we all have those projects from our school days, they seem like they were just yesterday before we all got serious.
It kind of all relates, we have competition on two levels with the folks around us but also with our selves, hopefully, we win the blogging race, as they say, practice makes perfect.
Thank you for stopping by, much appreciated.

Alex

Excellent post. Usually people with real knowledge are the ones who are willing to share. Sharing does not only help others but empowers those who have the knowledge and share unconditionally.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Bhopal, that is so true it is an energy in motion and one that empowers both parties, thank you for sharing your insights, much appreciated.

Alex

Hi Alex, thanks for this post. I agree, if we give our very best, we can succeed. "We can take on the world and succeed" I like that, very motivating. we are definitely a step ahead of the competition being part of WA!
All the best

Good points Alex. I have found exchanging comments with other members here is a great way to:

Get traffic which raises our Google rank,

Get comments which raise our Google rank,

Get to know other people who may have similar interests or valuable experience (they could guest post for example or share ideas, or may even purchase our products).

This is very important when we are just starting out and don't have organic traffic!

Jessica

Hi Jessica good to see you, that is such sound advice, creating connections and opportunities to enhance engagement, can not be underestimated.

Searching out others who share similar interests can be really empowering as well. One of the real positives about wealthy Affiliate it makes that possible for us.

Thank you for sharing your experiences.
