How to Attract up to 1000 New Subscribers to Your Blog ASAP!

How to Attract up to 1000 New Subscribers to Your Blog ASAP!

written by Bryan Hutchinson

In a very real way, I’m embarrassed to post this, but in another way—it needs to be done!

I recently had One Single Post bring in over a t h o u s a n d new subscribers and it reached tens of thousands of readers. I was stunned, shocked, and, you guessed it, astonished (all of the usual superlatives)! But looking back it’s not as surprising as it might seem, so today I’m going to reveal how I did it and how you can do it, too.

You want to know the funny thing about creating such a post? You don’t have to be a great writer to create one and any blogger can do it.

How to Write a First Draft that Rocks! (Using the 4 D’s)

How to Write a First Draft that Rocks! (Using the 4 D’s)

written by Shanan Haislip

The Internet seems to be of two general thought schools on the subject of first drafts.

They go like this:

One: The first draft is your brain-barf, pure, unadulterated word puke, a memory dump, Michelangelo’s block of marble. The writer’s job in the first drafting process is to get as much of it down on paper as humanly possible; it’s for second drafts and beyond to chip away at the mess left behind.

Two: Word-spew is for amateurs. Efficient writers who want to write real books and make money to write more books will plot out their drafts, making Excel spreadsheets full of color-coded scene lists, arranged by character and codified by act. First drafts are the upwellings of all this hard pre-work, and are polished, precise, and require minimal rework before being shipped to your agent or CreateSpace, whichever you prefer.

Can I offer a third way? I’ve nicknamed it the “Four D’s” – four elements that help make a first draft, even an unpolished one, coherent and complete.
