What's up everybody?

Pat Flynn here and welcome to episode 356 of Ask Pat. Thank you so much for joining me today.

All right. Now let's get to today's question from Phil.

Hey Pat, how you doing? Phil here from the UK.

Big fan of yours, of course.

You actually inspired me to start my own blog a couple of weeks ago, which could be found

at self-developmentjournerney.com.

I'm wondering, with everything you've learned along the way on your own journey,

what are the five key things you would recommend a relatively new blogger like myself does?

I'd love to hear from you. Thanks a lot.

Hey, Phil, what's up? Thank you so much for the call. I appreciate it. And yeah, so congratulations

on your new journey and your new blog. I'm going to give you five key things that I would

recommend to anybody who's brand new at blogging. And actually, this is a great refresher for everybody,

no matter in what stage they're at, because these are very foundational items that are often

forgotten, especially when things like social media get kind of in the

mix. And those are very exciting things, especially because we can get immediate feedback from

things like that, where you might post a tweet and you might get people retweeting or

favoriting those things. And that's great. It's great to get that immediate feedback. But

those core foundational items and social media is not in that

core foundational item list that I'm going to give you.

These things are really important.
