When we want to expand our audience, one of the first things we must do is give people the opportunity to discover the content we are sharing. The best conceivable plan-of-action would be to network on the largest platforms and distribute our creations through the busiest venues. This is why I love Quora, this Q&A platform started in 2009 has become the go-to place for answer-seekers just as yourself. If you’ve been looking for an amazing community to show your blog/content too, then you have found the answer to what you’ve been looking for.

Imagine a platform made up of over 190 million users monthly!!!

Personal Experience

Ever since I started my blog I have come across a lot of interesting and useful places on the internet. Quora has been one of the most productive places so far, as I have been answering questions on Quora for about 2 years and have an average of 300 views a week.

My path of success has only been possible by being consistent and diligent, now I don’t want to toot my own horn but the more questions you answer the more views you get. Although if you are just pumping out answers without thinking about what you’re doing, then you will only be hurting your reputation with weak and unhelpful answers.

Tip

Find 3 categories you are competent in and try answering a few questions; also check out some other people’s answers for inspiration on how to get your answer noticed.

Each mind projects a beam of thought which permeates everything that the mind’s consciousness focuses on. In a world where we had the ability to see these beams, there would be no space unchanged from at least one person’s mind. What is this projecting light which has its clutches in everything imaginable?

You guessed it, our culprit is none other then Perception:

The force of nature, gravity, and other such overbearing concepts literally change the way the world works in every facet of its existence. Things like the aforementioned and such others do exist and constantly change/hold together the world from utter destruction. This was no mystery too early human civilization either, the Taonistic philosophy of Yin and Yang which represent the forces of order and chaos are said to affect every action and reaction which occurs on this planet. Believe it or not, perception is very much on par with these other world-changing aspects.

Something so powerful yet extremely common is a rare existence indeed. We all have the innate ability to change the world to our favor through our perception. This gives us a way to improve our situation without affecting reality. When a positive person walks into the room we can subconsciously feel their perception affecting the situation immediately. This is a perfect example of how we can help ourselves, as well as others with the power of our choices, our choice of how to see the world we live in.

The only thing we could do is use the power of perception in a productive intelligent way.

Two Sides

By definition, every conflict is 2-sided, without something to fight against your just a crazy person swinging his arms around. For example, the American Civil War was fought by the North and the South of the *Ahem* United States of America. Each opposing side will always want something from the other side or they are trying to change something about the enemy in one sense or another. A proclamation prohibiting something that was wanted started the Civil War just like the need for freedom sparked the American Revolutionary War; most would agree this was needed, but slavery, on the other hand, was wanted.

Before we decide to stand up for what we believe we need, we must first discern that we truly need what we are fighting for, and not merely want it.

Needs VS. Wants

Every one of our actions is a result of our thoughts and desires. You want that ice cream, you walk over and order it, there’s a test coming up and you would love to ace it, you set time to study every day. There are certain things that have to happen if we want a certain outcome to occur, some call this sacrifice, and others call it necessary. The question is, how do we know what is important and what we can do without?

This question can be answered by some deep self-awareness and building a strong belief system. By knowing your hopes and dreams and having a plan to acquire them, can help let us know when to lay off and when to attack ferociously. If you see yourself losing connections, dignity, maybe even a friendship, usually those arguments can be solved a different way.

By finding what is important to our growth and destiny, we can decide in a split second whether an action is worth the repercussions or not. I hope we all find this peace of knowing what we stand for, have an amazing day.

“An insignificant year can pass by instantly, while a crucial minute lasts forever…”

Ability

It could have been a day, a week, maybe even a month or a year, but we all have had those moments in our lives that changed the course of our destiny. Maybe it was that dull moment you were waiting in line for groceries and you saw those kids help that elderly man in aisle 5. That made you think about how lucky you are to still have your strength. We can gain inspiration through seemingly random instances, this is one of the most amazing things about our minds. There is an innate ability we possess since the day we are born to absorb information from almost anything; it is like constant updates on your phone but we don’t take 5 hours to download.

Execution

The question obviously is… how do we use this incredible skill for the good of my personal life and the world as a whole?

Well, I’m glad you asked because here at Way of the Wise we have all the answers!

Ok maybe we don’t have all the answers, but I will definitely try to lay out a format that we all could use to reach our true potential. When one wants to wield his weapon in the most efficient way possible one usually will do two things.

1: Use it as much as possible. (practice)

2: Ask people more knowledgeable than oneself. (study)

As you put these lessons into action you will become the master not just of yourself but of your weapon as well. The same is true for this natural learning technique, the more it’s used the more you will learn and gain knowledge from people who mastered it. This will help you become the master of your learning.

See Ya Soon

Well, that’s my shpiel, I hope you enjoyed and once again if you have ANY compliments or criticisms please leave them below in the comments. Have a great day/night.

1. Increase Traffic
2. Popularize Your Brand
3. Expose You Too New Audiences

The magic phrase today is… SOCIAL MEDIA!

The power of the internet is astronomical, and the fact that we have the ability to access the world in an instant at our fingertips is incredible. To use this power in the most productive way possible, we must put in the time to find the best sites for sharing our wonderful pieces of art we call posts. I have done the research and have a list of the sites you should focus on for whatever purposes you need.

This will be a new subcategory that I will be writing as part of the Tuesday Blog Tip. I will call it Social Secrets and it will feature a different website every time. Today’s lucky winner is a tool which every self-respecting blogger should know about.

StumbleUpon

This site is great for increasing your viewership, as well as boosting your stats in general. StumbleUpon is a webpage viewer which helps you “stumble upon” different websites you that have been shared by other “Stumblers” on the site. Every person that stumbles upon your page will see your post which will open up a whole new part of the internet up to you. It’s quick and easy to make an account, and it costs nothing to do so.

-Me?

Wow! It has been a long 2 weeks, but lo and behold, I have returned!

In this post, I would like to talk about a recurring theme in all of our lives, and something which we would love nothing more than to master. We will discuss the reasoning for it, the varying effects, and then how we can use this wonderful concept to improve our lives in a truly beautiful way.

Drum Roll Please…. dum dum dum dum!

The winner is Effort :)

Why do we need effort?

Everybody has their own answers for this simple yet important question.

In this society we think in terms of value and subjective thought processes, to truly become consistent we must become objective within our lives and focus on what truly matters. If what you believe in, is your work, then you will apply these skills there, if it is family, then you will think this pertains to them, and if it is friends, you will take this socially. We need effort for one reason, and that is the concept of worthy accomplishment.

When we work hard for something, there is a sense of completion which we rarely achieve in our lifetimes. We see this in many cases such as research papers and high-intensity housework. :) Think of the times we are given the keys, do we feel good about having it, or are we proud of ourselves for reaching the point where we could put the pedal to the metal?

Real Happiness

We can buy happiness, but as we know, that doesn’t last too long, and if it does we have given up on true accomplishment. Waking up at the crack of dawn every day may be hard, but there is that feeling of happiness we get by the time we are awake. That feeling is worth all the hardships in the world because we know it is real…

Praise yourself for your hard work, and your achievements will come naturally.

Consistency + Hard Work

The way we grow is through work, this is a basic concept we all understand as human beings. Just look at the people who have ‘made it’ in your eyes and you will see that they have worked for what they have or don’t have, no matter if we decide to accept it or not. Today’s tip is very reliant on the fact that we understand this concept or not, and if we do, can we apply it to our lives?

Become Consistent

One of the easiest parts of becoming consistent is that all you gotta do is right there in the title… be consistent. If you are having trouble writing your posts, or keep pushing it off until its never late enough, then creating a schedule will be your true best friend. A schedule will keep your consistency until you feel a little empty inside without completing your writing for that day/week/month.

If you ever feel like you might give up on your hard earned consistency, just remember how inspired you were the first time you made that decision to write every week, and never give it up.

Benefits

The primary reason to be consistent is to grow your audience and to prove to the internet that you aren’t going away. When I started I made a commitment to write every day, and I kept it for 3 full months, that is probably how I grew faster than most bloggers, but I joined a post-highschool oversees program in Israel so I had to lower my writing expectations to two posts a week. I guarantee you will see results within a month if you keep your schedule, depending on what that particular schedule is. Keep doing what you do, and then do it some more…

-Me?

Sometimes we forgot the fragility of this world and the concepts which hold it together in our eyes. With one flick of a hand or the simple truth told, the world as we know it would collapse. Something which we rely on to keep our schedules intact can break apart with such simple means, how do we keep on loving the world around us, instead of worrying about the possible outcomes?

For us to discover the answer, we must understand one simple word — Appreciation

I have written about this in the past, but I have a slightly different explanation I would like to divulge to you, my treasured readers. We have all been on the receiving end of more than a few anxiety fueled thoughts. Then, one of two outcomes will occur, we push past our thoughts that hold us back from greatness, or the what if’s become our reality to the point of failure. pushing ourselves is imperative to success and only with constant effort to grow can we become our true selves.

When we think of the outcomes of a situation, there are many ways we can veer off into the darkened pool of our mind. The best way to make sure we do not stary off the path of achievement is to teach ourselves to react positively to challenges. Worry is an integral part of keeping us safe, but at some point, we must take our worry and throw it in the backseat while we let our willpower and need for success take the wheel.

The possibilities are endless, make sure you do not forget that there are many ways not just to fail, but to succeed as well.

There are two types of bloggers in this world.

• Inspiration Dependent
• informational Focused

I personally rely on inspiration when I sit down to write a post, or something else that requires creative writing. Although, when I am writing an educational article, I will research then parrot most of the informative aspects of what I am writing about; spicing it up when there is a need for the special touch of a personal emotional view.

Today I have not just one, but two tips/tricks for my fellow bloggers out there.

1: for the ones which rely on inspiration for a post, but have trouble keeping a schedule because of this. I propose writing down small bullet points as you get inspired by your daily life. This way you will not only have something for your brain to build off of, but you won’t have to re-invent the wheel each time you write. (Which I am guilty of)

2: Then, for the people who are forced squeeze your personality into the crevices of cold facts. There is only one thing I have to say, look for aspects of the subject you are writing about which interest you; then use those personally feelings toward those facts and write something fantastical.

Enjoy your week everybody!

Let me know what advice you are looking for and maybe the next Tuesday Tip will feature your request!

“Nothing in this world is meaningless… unless we make it so.” -Me?

I would like to unravel the mystery of maturity and discover what causes us to turn into the responsible adults we think we are.

Today I was trying to convince my friend to stay in the post high-school program that he is enrolled in, and not to drop out and go back home. Now there are a lot of factors involved in this discussion, but the overall factor was his wanting to be in a place he felt safe in. Me and him were going back and forth about the concept of being your own person, and making your own safe places by adapting to the outside world. Unfortunately I didn’t make any headway and although he might go home I really hope he can change his mindset enough to realize the importance of adulthood.

What kind of power can cause a person to leave the place of his upbringing and start a life outside of his previous parameters?

There are a good amount of reasons for one to leave his home in search of more, but I would like to talk about the concept of discovery in this post.

The world is a big place and we haven’t even scratched the surface when in comes to 100% discovery. I personally love how much mystery there is in the real world, and that movies and tv shows don’t compare to what we can see without there help of CGI. Just this fact alone has people searching in the deepest caves, tallest mountains, and the most remote of islands. There is no reason to do these things but the hope of discovery and the drive for new experiences.

Everyone has this inside of them, and we can use it to our advantage. When there is something for us to do in our daily lives, all we see is a grey wall of nothingness which ends up being routine, but imagine if we can discover something new just by making dinner, or washing the car?

We can learn so much form the simplest of experiences, and what we learn will help us make the world, a safer place.
