Compounding Dividends - Working Today for a better Tomorrow

Compounding Dividends is about more than just stocks, it’s about working today for a better tomorrow.  If you go out and plant small seeds every single day, over time these seeds will grow into a forest. Every seed may not sprout, but the ones that do will pick up some of the work load and start spreading seeds themselves.

The Compounding effect can also be applied to Blogging. When you’re getting started you need to go out there and put the work in. You need to put a post up on your Blog almost daily and you should also go out and start leaving comments on other blogs.

Every post may not be a hit, every comment may not draw many visitors but over time they will begin to bring people in masses. The first wave of people will start to take on some of the work. They will post about your blog, they will spread the word, and they will link to it. From this point the compounding has begun. People will come to your blog not because they saw your content, but because they saw someone talking about your content on another blog.

Whether it’s having a dividend paying portfolio or Blogging, they both have one thing in common. They become more valuable and produce more income the longer you have them. It all starts by taking small steps. A post a day and putting more money into dividend payers every month. The time and money will reward you over time by the action of compounding. In a portfolio and also when building a blog.

You might be wondering why you’re even listening to me right now, a guy with very little content on his blog and hardly any traffic. I’d have to say you’re right for thinking this way, but what it all boils down to is very simple. You work now, you plant seeds, and you tend them while they grow. A blog, a portfolio, a Real Estate Empire, they’re all built the same way. One piece at a time.

I’ve been reading through some postings by Yaro Starak who started the Blog Mastermind program. Yaro like me is also a strong advocate of putting in the work now so you can create a compounding effect that will do the heavy lifting for you. He goes on to discuss this in his Free Blog Profits Blueprint E-book which I strongly recommend everyone reads. He discusses streams and rivers when he describes generating traffic. A stream is when you take action and generate a small trickle of people. This can be accomplished by commenting on popular Blogs, posting a great article on your site, or simply by spreading the word.

These streams will start to build your blog traffic slow and steadily but they don’t have close to the impact of when you open up a river. A river is when you put the time, work, and ingenuity in to create something more valuable than gold. A river is when you get a sudden influx of thousands or tens of thousands of people that rush to your blog. This can be accomplished by creating a quality E-book, or by having one of your posts discussed on various high traffic sites such as Problogger.net or JohnChow.com This will create the river that we’re all after and this is how you expedite your traffic building.

We should all be aiming to open up a river, I have numerous river opening ideas to implement in the future but I am in no rush. For now I’ll keep pumping out the content. Some seeds will grow, and some will wither away with time. No matter what happens in the early stages, I’ll have some reading material on my site so I can retain some of the river traffic once I open one up. In a few months when I feel my Blog has a sufficient amount of content, it will be time to go ahead and start Operation Traffic Tsunami.

Now go out and plant some seeds.
