Let’s get rid of the nervousness & insecurity today. In a couple hours, you can just lie in the sun and snooze out, let lots of experts find the good stuff for you, and then, once you wake up, just snap up whatever great pieces you see that make  your mouth water.

Do you have a Google Feed Reader? If not, go to your Google account and click on “Reader” to set it up.

A friend of mine, Jennifer Billy, wants to do a blog on how to save money at home by couponing and other means. She came up with a list of a dozen keywords. Her next step is to take one keyword at a time and start Google searching like this:

  • saving money +blog
  • couponing +blog
  • stay-at-home-mom +blog
  • etc., etc., etc.

Pick the term that’s most real to you and start with that search. Look at 15-20 blogs in that category. This is your research. When you see a blog that’s really good, great info, very useful to you and to your market, sign up for their RSS feed (usually an orange & white button on the right-hand side of the page). You’ll have the option to have it come to your Google Reader, and that is what you want.

You need to wind up with at least 50 active blogs that you really like, plugged into your feed reader. So everytime one of “your researchers” posts something, you will get it within minutes.

What that means is you have all the research you could ever possibly need for your blog project, coming to you for free every day. You will get 100 times more ideas than you could ever possibly write about.

And there goes the nervousness and insecurity.

This step is absolutely key to your success. Get this done before you do anything else. Let me know if you have any problems with it.
