5 Ways to Quickly and Efficiently Blog Your Authority Building Book

Welcome to National Book Blogging Month 2017! This year the focus of the event is on blogging your way to expert status. Your blog provides you with a way to prove your knowledge, experience, and expertise. It’s a vehicle for moving you into thought-leader status. That’s why this year during National Book Blogging Month (NaBoBloMo) I want to encourage bloggers and authors to become authorities by producing 30 days of blog posts—preferably posts you can turn into a short book. Ready on to learn more. And be sure to follow all the April posts to help you blog your way to expert status.

To blog an authority building book—one that makes you an expert—in a month, you need to employ some powerful writing habits. Every time you sit down to write a post, you need to have clarity, energy, courage, productivity, and influence, so your writing time yields results. When you have this pillars of high performance, you will write quickly and efficiently.

To accomplish your goal, use the same tools employed by the highest performing bloggers—as well as all high performers—in the world. You can apply these pillars of high performance to anything you do, but see what happens when you implement them as you blog a book in 30 days.

Start with Clarity

Before you sit down to write a daily post (or two or three), have a clear idea of what you plan to write. Clarity in writing takes forethought. If you’ve planned out your book, you should know how each chapter is broken down into post-sized bits. That means you know what each post is about and how to complete it. You also need clarity on how the book and each post helps showcase your authority.

Bring the Energy

When it’s time to write, sit down at the computer with high and positive energy. You have control over your energy and can generate the energy you need in a variety of ways, such as visualization, deep breathing exercises, and movement. You can focus your mind on positive thoughts, and come to the desk energized and positive. A positive mindset will help you write with energy and feel confident as you do so.

Write Courageously

It’s important to approach your writing with a high degree of self-confidence, especially if you want the voice in each post to sound authoritative. Don’t fall into the “imposter syndrome” and write from a place of “not good enough.” Instead, tell yourself you are, indeed, an expert. Remind yourself you have valuable information to share. And then write with courage. Show the world who you are and what you know—as well as how you can be of service.

Produce Work Consistently

It’s imperative to be productive when under a deadline. Hopefully, you know how many posts you must publish per week to complete your blogged book. With that in mind, you can schedule the time to write the posts. Determine what things tend to get you off track or distract you. Eliminate them! Focus your attention on the job at hand. When you do so, you’ll write quickly and efficiently.

Have Influence Over Yourself

An authority blog and book will help you become known as an “influencer” in your industry. However, the first person you need to influence is yourself—especially if you plan to blog a book in a month. You must be able to get yourself to put your butt in the chair, hands on the keyboard and begin producing words on the screen. You also must persuade yourself to not look at email or Facebook but, instead, to focus only on writing a blog post that will help you complete your goal: a book that proves you’re an expert.

By putting these pillars of high performance—clarity, energy, courage, productivity, and influence, to use daily, you’ll produce authoritative posts consistently and complete your book in 30 days with ease.
