What Running a Blog Really Looks Like

“Oh you’re a blogger — don’t you just write all day long?”

I get that question a lot. Even when I tell my traveling friends, who are usually pretty educated about the online business world, what I do.

They look at me like “You make enough money doing that?”

I can tell that they think I just take some photos and write some stuff about them and put them on the internet.

And that’s sort of what we do… if you boil it down to the very basics. But it’s SO much more than that. You’re running a business, after all. You aren’t “just a blogger.”

In this episode, I want to debunk some of these misconceptions about what running a blog looks like and what bloggers do. And in doing that, we’re going to talk about some high-level stuff like the different purposes blogs and specific content have.

Because this purpose is really what defines your blog and your content.

I’ll also talk about what bloggers really do when they aren’t writing articles — a lot of it is still content, but there are so many different types of content.

And the most important pieces of content are the ones that you don’t always see from the surface: emails, paid content, etc. 

Lastly, I’m going to tell you where I personally spend most of my time in my business. What I believe is the most important job that I can be doing and what I choose not to outsource.

Oh, and we’ll talk a little bit about outsourcing and getting help for some of the tasks that do overwhelm you.

What we’re talking about in this episode:

  • What a blog is and how it differs from a website
  • The different purposes blogs can have
  • Our ultimate purpose for our content
  • What bloggers spend most of their time doing
  • Where I personally spend most of my time in my business
