All week I’ve been discussing the five dimensions of growth your blog should reflect. We started with growing warmer, then talked about growing deeper, moved on to growing stronger, and yesterday covered growing broader. I want to close the series by sharing the aspect of growth we focus on most of all – how to grow larger.
Five Dimensions for the Growth of Your Blog (Part 4)
I’ve enjoyed writing this week about five dimensions for growing your blog starting with growing warmer, then deeper, and yesterday, stronger. Today I’m tackling how your blog can grow broader.

Five Dimensions for the Growth of Your Blog (Part 2)
Yesterday I started talking about five ways your blog should be growing and opened with the idea that your blog should grow warmer. Today, I want to move on and talk about how your blog can also grow deeper.
Five Dimensions for the Growth of Your Blog (Part 1)
I’m going to focus in the upcoming week on five dimensions in which your blog should be growing over time. We tend to think of a blog’s growth in terms of readership or pageviews, but there is much more to growth, long term, than statistical increases. Your blog needs to grow in other ways too.
67 Ways to Get Your Content Into the Cloud
I’ve been doing a series of videos about how to get your content into the cloud, meaning, how to take what you’re publishing on your blog and get it into the cloud of content consumption in which web users live and breathe each day
Rather than trying to create a video for each method, or even a single blog post, I thought I’d put together a lengthy list of a variety of ways. I wanted to do this partly to demonstrate the sheer magnitude of options, but also to give you a list from which you could select one, two, or even ten “doable” tasks to apply today.
- Write great content. (It all starts here.)
- Tell your friends and family… face-to-face.
- Email your friends and family to introduce your blog (but don’t spam strangers).
- Include a link to your blog in your email signature.

Get to the Point by Breaking Your Blog Posts
I’m a Pastor, so I preach to a congregation several times per week. There are a couple of pivotal moments in my preaching career in which my whole approach to delivering sermons changed. One of those was when I read Andy Stanley’s book Communicating for a Change.
Stanley talks about a very simple principle – preach one point per sermon. Have three good points to make? Why not break them apart and preach three good messages in a series. Why is this such a good tip? Because people will remember the one point you’re trying to get across more than they will remember each of the smaller details.
The Totally Reckless Guide to Getting Things Done
Productivity is probably one of the more popular topics for bloggers of every flavor. It’s a good thing. After all, the internet has a way of taking over your life.
Why I’m So Passionate About Blogs and Blogging
Hint: It’s not to “make money online.”
It’s because blogging represents a much larger principle – that people and organizations have the power to publish content into the stream of all that people consume. Whether you have a divine or humanitarian message to proclaim or a product to market, online publishing is the future.
Mitch Joel agrees…
