Welcome to the blog millionaire, where we break down the essential strategies of today's most successful bloggers

to take your blog to the next level with top-notch content, monumental traffic growth, and multiple revenue streams to go beyond your wildest goals.

So get ready to blog like a pro and make your traffic explode with your host, whose blog gets more than one million visitors every single month, Brandon Galey.

My name is Brandon Galey and welcome to episode 124 of the blog Millionaire.

In my 20s, I've read close to 1,000 nonfiction books.

Out of all of these books, I can count on two hands the books that I read more than once.

The three books that I seemed to read over and over again were,

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Del Carnegie,

seven habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey, and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

These three books cover areas that every blogger needs to understand and master.

In this episode, I will start with how to win friends and

influence people by Dale Carnegie. The top bloggers in the world are no longer even called

bloggers. They are simply known as influencers. Over time, if you do things the right way,

then you will build up an intimate audience.

Your audience will begin to feel as though you are actually a real friend of theirs.

That unique relationship will allow you to have influence over certain things that they do.

Fitness bloggers will direct thousands to go on a 30-day diet challenge.

Personal finance bloggers will set budgets for the masses. And marketing bloggers will point their audiences to the next high-impact channel. The title of this book starts with How to Win Friends before it moves on to

influence people.

Before you can influence, you have to win your audience over.

Once you do that, the sky is the limit.

The really cool thing about this is that you don't need an audience of one million to achieve high levels of success.
