Good one Azreen.

I joted down the main points as well the basic ideas:

80 percent of your site’s traffic comes from 20 percent of your audience.
80 percent of an article is research while 20 percent is the actual writing process.
80 percent is marketing while 20 percent is content creation.

Hello

I don’t think I have ever seen the 80/20 rule applied to blogging, however it makes sense.

I used to have a boss when I was in direct sales that always said “don’t worry about price, double your sales and you will triple your income”

Applied to blogging it would be double your traffic. I think there’s a lot of truth to the concept even if the math isn’t exact.

Hello Azreen,

Good to see you here on Erik’s space 🙂

Great tips over here on how to get going with the 80/20 rule. There is lot of things which I am learning here for the first time and how this rule can be added up into a bloggers life and how one can create a win win situation from this one.

Its so true that unproductive tasks do take our most of the time and when one gets into it they are like stuck there for
hours, as they like to keep the clock ticking.

In the starting it sounds like, how some of the things can be done on the regular basis, like generating a content daily
and publishing it on the air. It can happen, we just need to shift our priorities and make them shift in that 20% reign so that in less time we can be more productive.

Thanks for the amazing share.

Shantanu.

Azreen, the 80/20 rule is my favorite principle. I didn’t realize where it originated from – so thank you for that. You make some excellent points when using it for blogging. I find I waste more time on social media than I should – but it is FUN 🙂
I have to delve into my analytics more to see which type of content is doing best, I usually can tell by the comments and shares on social. But looking at the Google analytics will be very helpful.
Thank you!

Hi Azreen,

Great tips and so true, It’s so easy to spend time on tasks that don’t matter. When I first started my blog, I was spending my time everywhere. It was so easy to get caught up in those tasks that don’t make a huge difference.

Today, I make it a point to write 1,000 words per day. It’s taken a while to get used to writing every day. However, when you start practicing and doing it every day.

Eventually, you’ll realize how easy it is to get into the habit of creating content on a regular basis. Oh and make sure that you’re providing content that has already been proven to work according to Google Analytics.

Thanks for sharing these tips have a great day 🙂

Susan
