4. “Devote the early part of the day to your blog.” – Pat Flynn, Smart Passive Income
Pat Flynn's Best Blogging Advice to Share with New Bloggers This Year
In one of my earliest podcast episodes, Pat and I really dove deep into what’s helped him to grow his blog, Smart Passive Income, to such impressive six-figure (monthly) levels of income through a Colombia Phone Number Library of everything from blogging courses to podcast sponsorships, blogging books, affiliate programs, SaaS products, physical products and other proven ways to make money blogging. Pat’s even gotten into the world of podcast hosting with his company, Pressable.
His most helpful blogging tips and advice? Working on his blog in the early mornings—and giving himself the best possible hours in his day. Here’s what he says:
“Time stretches add up. If possible, I’d recommend putting time in for yourself during the morning, before you do anything else, before you give your time to somebody else and their dreams that they’re building—give it to yourself first. This is similar to a personal finance tip that a lot of people may have heard of before: pay yourself first.”

“What most people try to do is, they set an alarm for when they have to go to work, then they work, and they come home, they’ve got to spend time with the family, and then the family goes down to bed, and then you have thirty minutes or an hour at the end of the day to work on your thing. But you’re already exhausted. You’ve already used up your think tank. There’s just no good decision-making going on.”
“But you can flip it around, wake up a little earlier and devote that early time to yourself. I wake up at 4:30 in the morning and I always read, meditate and I get my most crucial work done before the kids are up. And it’s the craziest production I’ve ever had in my life. Even if it’s a half-hour, devote that early part of the day to yourself.”
5. “Figure out what you personally stand for and jump straight in. You can hone your voice as you go.” – Gaby Dalkin, What’s Gaby Cooking
Gaby Dalkin's Blogging Tips and Advice for Aspiring Food Bloggers
Gaby Dalkin has one of the most fun blogging journeys I’ve gotten to follow along with over the years (and talk about) on my podcast. Formerly a personal chef for singer Jessica Simpson, Gaby started food blogging on the side of her personal chef work and slowly amassed a loyal following or readers who tuned in for her recipes and amazing photography. More recently, she’s gone on to publish multiple books, launch several product lines with Williams Sonoma and more.
Here’s the best blogging advice Gaby has to share for those that want to follow in her footsteps this year:
“I didn’t do this for the first three years, and I really wish I had. Figure out what it is that you stand for, what message you want to share, what you want your story to be. Make sure it’s authentic—and then go for it.“
