Why blog?It's amazing for SEOIt gives you things to talk about on socialIt gives you content for your newsletterIt's good for authority marketingIt increases engagement on your websiteSam explains that if you only write your blog and don't promote it, no one will ever find it. He says your blog needs to be about a theme. It needs to be about a topic and help to show that you are an expert in your field. For example, Samsuggests that a wedding photographer could review wedding venues. A blog without a theme or purpose is not much use. Also, consider what is valuable to your target audience and how the topic can demonstrate your expertise. Once you have a theme, we are then down to writing individual blogs. Marcus asks if your blog should be on your website or elsewhere. Sam says one of the points of a blog is helping with SEO. This does not happen if you use a blogging platform instead of your website.Blogs are words. Photographs only are not acceptable and don't work on their own. A blog must be at least 500 words. 1000 words average. Once it gets much over 1500 words, it's time to think about splitting into two smaller blogs. A mix of sizes is good, some longer, some shorter. For SEO, Google needs to understand who you are and what you do, and only words can do that. For social media, there is no point promoting your blog on social if it is only images, as they would expect to see the images on social anyway. Do use images in the blogs. But there should be plenty of text to go with the images. Do not fill space with photographs.  Organise the writing in your blog. Make it easier for people to skim read. Use sub-headings, bullet-pointed lists, etc, to help people skim read it. This structure helps people and Google to understand your blog. Give value in your blog. The blog has to be useful to them, or it won't be engaging.External and internal links are essential. Both to other websites (external links) and within your website to other pages and blogs (internal links).Marcus asks if Sam blogs and how he blogs. Sam says that inthe past, he has had copywriters blogging for him. This ensures that you get regular blogs created. But he also blogs himself, both written and video blogs. Sam says one key is ensuring you put time aside to create content. In terms of ideas, Sam often uses topics that have come up in conversations in the last fewweeks. Marcus asks about AI. Sam says it's good for some stuff. It is bad at writing blogs. Do not simply ask AI to write you a blog; it will be very generic and easy to spot. But it is useful. It is great for ideas. If you cannot think of anything to write, it can give you ideas. You can also ask for a blog structure. Don't 100% stick to the structure, as it will be quite bland. Then write the blog yourself. But once you have written it yourself, put it backthrough AI and ask for improvements.How do you get people to your blog? First of all, no one will come if you don't tell them about it. What can you do?Send out social media posts sending people to the blogMake an email newsletter and send people to the blog.Those are really good ways of getting people to your blog. As part of SEO, Google assess how popular your website is and how long people stay on the website. So by sending engaged people to the blog, you are helping with your website's SEO. Ensure that you have your website connected to Google Analytics so you can see who is visiting your blogs and where they are coming from.

Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast   Today, I'm diving into something I believe lies at the very heart of sustainable business growth—but that so often gets overlooked or oversimplified: your message. And more specifically, how the right message can quietly do the heavy lifting for you—helping you get noticed, attract aligned clients, and grow your business without the constant push, hustle, or getting stuck over-explaining yourself.

Nomadic Matt is a pioneering travel blogger. One day, we'll call him the grandfather of travel blogging during the Golden Era of travel blogs. He's not known for his travel feats but rather for the extensive tips he's provided on his popular website, which focuses on budget travel. Watch the Video The book's budget used to be $50/day, but inflation and a post-COVID world forced Matt to update his book. In 2025, he refreshed his bestselling book, which is now called How to Travel the World on $75 a Day.  As part of his book tour, he's appearing on the WanderLearn Show twice! Nomadic Matt discusses 00:00 When to book a hotel 02:40 Why is Africa left out of his book? 05:10 Bilt Rewards Credit Card 08:10 Airline booking tips 09:20 Travel insurance 12:00 Tourist Cards 15:00 Why Matt travels less than before 18:30 Blogging is dead?   Questions What's the most embarrassing or ridiculous thing you've done to save money while traveling? What's the difference between EatWith, WithLocals, and Traveling Spoon? When do you usually book your hotels? Why is Africa left out? Are tourism cards still worth it? When do you use travel insurance? Why not use Kiwi? What are Bilt Rewards? His book is packed with tips. Here are my favorite ones.  The best websites to keep track of the latest credit card deals BoardingArea FlyerTalk The Points Guy View from the Wing Pay your rent and get frequent flyer points with Bilt Rewards Matt's top three airline booking sites  My favorite airline website is Kiwi, and use this link to get $10 off. He doesn't mention Kiwi in his book. Instead, his favorite flight booking sites are: Skyscanner Momondo Google Flights For insurance Safety Wing World Nomads MedjetAssist IMG InsureMyTrip for comparison shopping Sell your old clothes to raise money for your trip Vinted ThredUp Poshmark Online Garage sale to raise funds and downsize VarageSale OfferUp Swappa for electronics Gazelle Decluttr Anytime Mailbox starts at $6 and has several locations. Lodging Sites LateRooms Last Minute Hotel Tonight Priceline Hotwire Roomer allows you to buy someone else's hotel reservation at a steep discount Agoda excels in East Asia Food Matt is a foodie. I am not. Here are some of his favorite sites: EatWith has 5000+ hosts in over 130 countries WithLocals Traveling Spoon Ride-sharing or hitchhiking for the 21st century Search for "ride-sharing" and the name of the region/country where you are traveling. You'll usually find options. I've used BlaBlaCar in Europe, for example. Tourism Cards Nomadic Matt sold me on the tourism cards that give you access to popular sites and public transportation. Although that can save you nearly half the price, it's only suitable for those doing a whirlwind, fast, and comprehensive tour. If you want to see the British Museum, don't get the London Pass. But it makes sense if you're going to see most of the significant sites. Why is Africa left out? The first half of the book offers general, practical advice. The second provides specific guidance to various regions. For example, he has a section about Australia. You'd think a book that helps travelers live on $75 a day would encourage tourists to visit Africa. Like Southeast Asia, parts of Africa have a low cost of living. For example, in 2013, in Benin, I rented a two-room place with a shower (but a shared outhouse for a toilet) for $10 per month! Ten years later, maybe the price has doubled to $20 a month!   Still, Nomadic Matt confesses, "I had to make trade-offs and omit the lesser-visited countries and regions..." (Kindle Location 1434). I won't quibble with his decision or logic. Conclusion When I got an advanced copy of Nomadic Matt's book, I expected to be bored out of my mind. I figured it was a book for beginners or intermediate travelers, not hyper-experienced travel studs like me.  As usual, I was wrong. Nomadic Matt pumped me with many ideas I was oblivious to. Although I shared my favorite ones on this page, buy How to Travel the World on $75 a Day to get all his excellent advice.

Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.  Quotes from Nat: “Writing is the one thing I love doing enough to commit to for the next 30 years.” “Traditional publishing taught me how to make a really good book, but I wouldn't do it again.” “Holding your book for the first time—and shipping it yourself to your first readers—is pure magic.” “The best marketing for your book is writing the next one—that's the fiction game.” “I used to chase whatever was interesting… now I'm building something I want to last 30 years.” “Fiction lets me explore big ideas without pretending to be an expert.” “The self-pub stigma is fading… especially when the book looks and reads like a trad pub hit.” “Characters start doing things I didn't plan—then I realize, oh, that's why they're here.” “There's no product in the world like a book—you can sell the same file for 50 years.” “My dream is to have a warehouse full of books I wrote. That's the romantic version of success.”

Hello ya'll a part two to the last episode. Let's get into the importance of creativity.  Blogging / discussing on Substack my episode  https://www.spreaker.com/episo...-65920734 Funny enough I had already blogged earlier this month but I had more things to say and reiterate  Creativity is a language to be discovered within us. Based on a conversation and something I have been ruminating on.  Many people disregard their possibilities of what that language is. What is our kind of self expression. The magic of creativity lies within us. In this most recent episode I ask for those who think they aren't creative to reconsider it may exist different than their idea of what creativity has been boxed in to be. Astrologically every chart is tailored. We all have our specific ways of being and expressing. Very much planning on opening my books to have this conversation with those curious to unlock this within them, reconnect to it, or see this in any endeavors someone is working on.  #substack #blog #newsletter #creatives #podcast  do you consider yourself a creative?https://lyszflo.substack.com/p...https://open.substack.com/pub/... like what you heard at the end of the episode?

Have you ever felt like you don't have enough time to blog consistently? What if I told you that you could successfully run your blog in just five hours a week? https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode196 In this week's episode of Creatives on Fire, we're diving into how to work smarter—not harder—with a blogger's take on the five hour work week. Inspired by Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek, this strategy is all about simplifying your workflow, focusing on what moves the needle, and creating consistent momentum. Let's break down how you can make blogging fit into your schedule—one hour a day. Can Blogging in Five Hours a Week Actually Work? Yes, my friend, it absolutely can. The key to making this work is consistency. You don't need endless hours or a huge audience to start building a profitable blog—you need a plan, a routine, and the discipline to stick to it. Step One: Make a Plan The first step is to map out what each hour of your blogging week will look like. Break the work into five main buckets and assign one task to each weekday. Monday: Draft Your Post Spend your hour outlining and drafting your blog post inside WordPress. This includes doing keyword research and writing your SEO title and headers. Use AI to speed things up if you need to. Tuesday: Create the Content Use this hour to bring your content to life. Take step-by-step photos, shoot a video, bake the recipe, or go live with a related tutorial. This is your creation day. Wednesday: Assemble and Schedule the Post Now that you've drafted and created, pull everything together. Upload your images, polish your post, and schedule it to publish next week—so you're always ahead. Thursday: Schedule the Promotions Use this hour to create your Pinterest pins, schedule your social media posts, and write the email that will promote your post. Everything should be prepped for the following week. Friday: Record and Schedule Video Content Optional—but powerful. Use this time to record and schedule your reels, short-form videos, or YouTube content related to your blog post. Step Two: Make It Predictable The real secret? Make your blogging time non-negotiable. Pick a time each day that works best for your life (early mornings are gold!) and show up like it's an appointment you can't miss. Tips for staying consistent: Block your hour on your calendar Use a “Blogging” tab group to reduce distractions Work ahead, not behind Create muscle memory—same routine, same time every day Step Three: Make It a Priority You already know blogging can generate consistent income—ads, affiliate commissions, product sales, and email growth all stem from regular publishing. So ask yourself: If I knew this would work, would I make it a priority? Once you've made the decision to treat your blog like a business, it becomes easier to commit to the five hour framework. Over time, your one hour a day builds lasting success, and that boring, consistent effort becomes your biggest advantage. What If You Want to Blog More Than Once a Week? If you're posting multiple times a week, just double the time. Two blog posts = two hours a day. But here's the beauty of batching—your efficiency will skyrocket. Once you get in the flow, you'll find you can prep several posts at once in even less time. As with anything in business: what's hard at first becomes easier with repetition. Final Thoughts: Boring Work Becomes Brilliant Success Building a successful blog isn't about flashy hacks—it's about consistent action done well over time. With the Five Hour Work Week, you can simplify your process, eliminate decision fatigue, and create sustainable income without burnout. Just remember: Make the plan Make it predictable Make it a priority Because boring work done consistently leads to extraordinary results. Let me know—are you in for the five hour work week? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments over on the blog. Until next time, stay creative.

This week on the show, Karen is joined by Thomas Dunckley AKA The Candy Perfume Boy, 6 time Jasmine award winner, writer, trainer and industry consultant. After taking a step away from the industry Thomas has returned with a new mission and a new branding - ‘Making Scents Make Sense’. Thomas’ mission is to cut through the snobbery and gatekeeping traditionally associated with the perfume industry in an attempt to make it more accessible to more people. In this interview with Karen, Thomas breaks down his mission, his manifesto and how, piece by piece, the influencers and bloggers are making the fragrance industry accessible. KEY TAKEAWAYS Despite most people's familiarity with blogging, in the grand scheme, it is still a relatively new medium. Karen and Thomas discuss how blogging was first perceived when it was adopted by the perfume industry and how it helped change the industry for the better. Blogging opened the door to the influencers and influencer culture. Thomas discusses how influencers on TikTok and YouTube have helped transform the perfume industry without the need for all the knowledge that was being held by gatekeepers for so many years. After suffering from burnout from having so many projects, Thomas took a step away from the perfume industry and his alter ego of The Candy Perfume Boy. However, when inspiration struck he made a comeback. He explains to Karen why he decided to come back and how he was determined to do it on his own terms. “If you smell it, it’s there” - This is a phrase that Thomas wholeheartedly believes in. He explains to Karen the meaning he takes from it and how that meaning extends to other avenues of the fragrance industry, and, how it helps open the doors of the industry to anyone. BEST MOMENTS “The rise of influencer culture has stripped away most of the snobbery from the big brands.” “Perfume marketing is gender specific, but fragrance doesn’t have gender.” “In the past, the industry didn’t know what was happening outside the industry, but with the advent of influencers, that has changed.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Getting Started Guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind EPISODE LINKS Making Scents Make Sense Thomas Dunckley Website The Candy Perfume Boy Blog ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way. Karen has inspired thousands of students to explore their olfactory sense and create their own personalised fragrances. With extensive product development experience in both the commercial perfumery and the organic skincare industry, Karen is able to offer a unique insight into creating natural and mixed media fragrances for fine fragrance, room scents and skincare/bodycare products using commercial perfumery techniques.

This week on the podcast, I'm excited to introduce you to my sweet friend, Char Huskins! Char has been in the online world for 28 years, and her love for helping women share their stories through blogging shines so brightly. We dive deep into why blogging still matters, how to set your blog up for success, and what to do if you're overwhelmed trying to piece it all together yourself. If you've ever wondered whether blogging is worth it—or if you're dreaming of launching (or revamping) your own site—this episode is for you. Char's Journey: From Early Website Design to Helping Women Share Their Stories Char first entered the website world long before blogging was even a thing. As blogging evolved, she fell in love with WordPress and the idea of helping women find their voice online. Today, she specializes in building beautiful, customized websites and blogs that allow creatives to not just show up online, but shine. She believes your blog isn't just a website—it's a legacy that can turn into a book, a brand, or a full-blown business. What Char Offers: Full-Service Blog Setup and Ongoing Management Char helps women who want to blog (or who already started and got stuck) with two main services: Custom Website + Blog Builds Char creates a fully customized WordPress website that includes: Home, About, Contact, and other core pages Blog setup ready for ongoing posting Branding and logo assistance if needed Full collaboration on the look, feel, and function you want Typical timeline? About one month from start to finish, depending on how much content you have ready. "I specialize in taking over where people feel stuck—and creating a full, beautiful site they're proud of." Blog Management Services If blogging feels overwhelming, Char also offers blog management: Ghostwriting blog posts (4, 8, or 12 per month) Pinterest graphic creation Social media graphics that match your posts Optional email marketing setup help (like Flodesk or Mailchimp) You can fully outsource your blog, get a few posts a month, or just get help getting started until you find your own rhythm. Why DIY Websites Aren't Always the Best Option While DIY website builders are tempting, Char shared why having a real expert matters. With her approach, you're not just buying a “template”—you're building a foundation for your business the right way, without the constant headache of fixing mistakes later. Working with Char means: Your site is built the right way from the start It's tailored to your goals, your brand, and your audience You'll save time, frustration, and ultimately, money And her pricing is shockingly affordable for the level of customization and support you get. Is Blogging Still Worth It? Absolutely! Char and I both agreed: blogging looks different than it used to, but it's still powerful. Today, blogging is more about: Pairing your blog with your email list to drive traffic Using social media to bring people to your own platform Creating evergreen content that lives for years "Blogging is still alive and well—you just have to pivot a little and focus on connection." Char also pointed out that building an email list alongside your blog is critical today, since you own your email list (but you don't own your social media following).

In this episode we answer emails from Jeff, Jenzo and Sam.  We discuss spending money on relationships, a 72(t) situation, what to do with an unused Coverdell, GDE (again), a nice risk parity write-up and some random musings about the history of free speech and communications technologies.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional links:Jenzo's GDE Backtest:  testfol.io/?s=0SLNjC7As4bSam's Most Excellent Risk Parity Explication Blog Post:  15 Uncorrelated Assets | SSiSSam's Most Excellent Bill Of Rights Blog Post:  Boxed In | SSiSBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:When markets tumble and headlines scream doom, properly diversified portfolios reveal their quiet strength. This episode showcases exactly that phenomenon - while small cap value has plummeted 15.58% and the S&P 500 has shed 5.74% year-to-date, gold has soared a remarkable 25.87%, creating a balancing effect that keeps risk parity portfolios remarkably stable.We dive into listener Jeff's retirement strategy, examining his use of 72T distributions and exploring whether his recent RV purchase makes financial sense. The answer turns out to be more about relationships than raw numbers. Research shows expenditures that facilitate meaningful connections tend to yield the greatest happiness returns - a powerful framework for evaluating major purchases in retirement.The emerging world of composite leveraged ETFs takes center stage as we examine GDE, which combines S&P 500 exposure with gold allocation at 1.8x leverage. While innovative funds like these package risk parity principles into convenient solutions, they represent a tradeoff between simplicity and control. We explore whether these instruments belong in a sophisticated asset allocation strategy or if traditional single-asset funds still offer superior flexibility.For investors fascinated by portfolio design theory, we tackle the question of just how many truly uncorrelated assets one needs. While hedge funds and endowments might pursue 15+ distinct asset classes, diminishing returns suggest a more practical approach for individual investors. The mathematical reality shows the incremental benefit of adding that 11th or 12th asset pales in comparison to the impact of moving from one or two assets to five diverse investments.Our weekly portfolio review reveals the practical power of these principles. Despite market turmoil, most of our sample portfolios remain nearly flat or slightly positive for the year - precisely the stability risk parity promises. Whether you're just beginning your investment journey or fine-tuning an established strategy, this episode offers both theoretical frameworks and practical evidence for building resilient portfolios in uncertain times.Ready to hear more?

Episode 1670: Joshua Becker reframes traditional measures of blogging success by encouraging creators to define success on their own terms, whether it's creative expression, connection, or community impact. His personal journey illustrates how staying aligned with purpose, rather than chasing metrics, leads to more meaningful and sustainable outcomes. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/choose-your-own-blogging-success/ Quotes to ponder: "Blogging success does not need to be defined by numbers." "Chasing someone else's definition of success will leave you frustrated and exhausted." "When I focused on using my blog to inspire others rather than impress others, everything changed."
