1. Give away free stuff
When you write a blog post, ask for email address and give away some free content. A chapter from my book, "Choose Yourself", or a podcast or video series, or even an audio book of one of your books. Whatever you can give away for free that will get people to sign up for your email list.2. Use the "three questions" technique
The three questions are: 1) What is my story? 2) What's the lesson? 3) How can I apply it?3. Answer a question someone asked in the comments section of your blog.
Write a new blog post answering the question. And then link back to the original comment that asked it so people who read your answer know where to find the original comment and click on it to see other comments on that same topic.4. Do #1 but instead of giving away something for free, do #2
Instead of giving away something for free, tell a story about how you used this technique in your life and what was the result. Then say, "Here's how YOU can use this technique." Describe two or three situations where you would've used this technique if you had known about it earlier in life and what would've been the results if you did use it. Describe those results in detail so people can visualize them happening in their lives too.5. Ask for feedback on Twitter before writing a new post!
When you are about to write a new post, ask on Twitter (with a poll), "What topics do YOU want me to write about?" This way people will feel like they have some ownership over what topics are being written about and they'll be more likely to read when they see topics they suggested being written about.6. The reverse chronological order technique!
Pick any news event (the election is always good), describe what happened chronologically but make it funny by describing each step as...the exact opposite of what happened. For instance, "First Trump said he would never run and then he ran." Describe every step as if it was reversed from reality but still describing actual events. People love this technique because they learn history while laughing at how silly things were reported during an historical event when nobody knew how things were going to turn out yet..7. The reverse chronological order technique...but with a twist!
Describe news events chronologically but add details that weren't reported at all during those events but could've been reported if we knew then what we know now based on subsequent events (reverse chronological order). For instance, during 9/11 (a very well documented event), describe everything that happened that day BUT also include details like "what time did George Bush go home" (not reported) AND "what time did Bill Clinton leave his office" (also not reported). Again, people love learning history through humor using techniques like this one because they don't have to spend time reading boring articles written immediately after an event occurred trying to figure out all these details when nobody really knew yet..8. The classic format with social media added
I call this format
THE SOCIAL POST
Example: Write an article called "Why Bitcoin is Going Down"
Add 10 tweets below saying why each reason is wrong
Some reasons Bitcoin might go down
1) Chinese crackdown
2) South Korean crackdown
3) Russian crackdown
4) US crackdown etc-
