"Content is King" ~ Kyle + Many other successful bloggers

It's no secret that when it comes to being ranked high in search engines it all comes down to content. Content is a huge factor when it comes to being ranked high in search engines which is why people consider content to be king. Sadly, my website lacks in it. Currently I have only produced 9 blogs with in the last 2 weeks! That is a horrible creation rate for the goals that I have set for myself

Today, I decided that it was time for a change. It's time to start getting on track and achieving my goals. With that being said I went out today and did my research on how to make content creation a habit. What I discovered is amazing and I can not wait to not only implement these tricks for my personal use, but to share it with you. So here it is.

1. Write Out Your Goals EXACTLY.

When it comes to creating a habit you have to have the mentality to do so. What I mean by this is that you must have a mentality of "I am really going to do this" rather than a "Well I guess Ill try to do this." You have to be determined and dedicated.

Part of being determined and dedicated is writing out your goals on a piece of paper. You must write out your goals and be very specific as to what these goals are. This will not only clear up your goals it will increase your likelihood of achieving them.

2. Create Triggers

First of let's clarify exactly what a trigger is. A trigger is an action performed before doing your habit.

For example: Let's say I wanted to start writing one blog every day at exactly 7:00 pm. A trigger I could create would be always grabbing a snack at around 6:55 and heading to my computer to start working. The trigger in this example would be getting my snacks. Getting my snacks will trigger me to start writing my blog. This is what a trigger is.

Triggers can also be expanded into chains from one event leading to another. This is how successful schedules are formed, by linking one trigger to another.

3. Do Not Tell Anybody About Your Goals!

This tip often confuses people as it may contradict what they previously learned about when achieving goals. Many people have the mentality that by sharing their goals it puts pressure on them to achieve their goals. This is actually the complete opposite.

Whenever you tell someone about your goal it makes you feel a sense of accomplishment and over all better about yourself. This sense of accomplishment will will make you feel accomplished and less likely to work towards your goal.

So, increase your likelihood of accomplishing your goals by not telling anyone about them. :)

4. Put All Your Focus On It for at Least 21 Days

Why 21 days? Well science has found that it takes approximately 21 days to form a new habit. So, start a "start date" on your calendar and end it 21 days from your "start date." With in those 21 days you want to have your full attention on your content creation goal. What I mean by full attention is by always keeping in mind what your goal is. Do not focus on other goals (unless they are of higher priority of course)

Ideally, content creation will be the only goal you think about for at least 21 days.

5. Reward Yourself

Find something that you enjoy doing and take that away until you have accomplished 1 week of your habit. This thing that you enjoy doing will be your reward. Discipline yourself and learn to give yourself this reward only when deserved.

At the end of the 21 days truly reward yourself and do something that will make you appreciate the hard work you put in!

I hope this blog was helpful! If you have any questions at all feel free to ask and Ill be more than glad to answer them! :)

Best of luck to success,
