Now come on, we’ve all seen the James Bond movie “Goldfinger”. I mean, probably one of the most famous movie quotes ever happens when Auric Goldfinger straps Bond down to a table and points a slow moving laser towards him. When Bond says “do you expect me to talk” Goldfinger says “No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die”.

If you don’t know what i’m talking about than you probably need to get out more. But anyways, did you know that James Bond can actually teach you a lot about blogging?

So, Here Are The 4 Things That Bond Can Teach You About Blogging

Keeping a clear and obvious goal

Even though Auric Goldfinger was an evil protagonist he had a clear and obvious goal – raid Fort Knox and obliterate the world economy. I mean what’s so bad about that.. right?

Anyways the point is, having a clear and obvious goal is a very important part of blogging. I see so many bloggers open a blog on a specific niche and start jumping from topic to topic. Doing This can really turn readers off and totally buzz kill your blog. This is a quick and easy way to loose subscribers and traffic for good.

You Need to Have Attractive, Agressive charm.

James bond is the epitome of charm. It doesn’t matter if the girl is good, evil, attractive, mysterious, shy, whatever… She will fall for bond.

Well using this type of strategy is important to your blogging in 2 main respects. The first and foremost is you need to have sexy, attractive content. If you’re not writing compelling blog posts all the time than people are not going to read your posts, become a subscriber, or ever come back to your blog.

Secondly you need to have some at least decent blog design. If bond was an unattractive man without a charming british accent would he get all of those girls? – o’ve course not.

Blog Design DOES matter!

Using Kick Ass Gadgets.

One of the reasons that we love Bond movies in general is all the awesome gadgets. I mean if i had a nickel for every time i could have used an invisible car with rockets on the back, or an industrial sized laser used to open up the most well guarded safe in the world, i wouldn’t have to spend my time blogging. haha

Ok so maybe we don’t have access to some of these bond gadgets, however we do have access to many awesome wordpress features and plugins. Using tools like “wordpress stats” to check who’s coming to your website, “tweetmeme” to get your content syndicated, and an autoresponder to build up your email list. In my opinion these gadgets might actually be cooler.

(alright, maybe not.)

Even Bond Can’t Do it Alone

Although James Bond does most of his work by himself he can’t do it ALL by himself. Even Bond has “m” to keep him on the right course and Q to deck him out with all of the cool gadgets.

You shouldn’t be trying to build your blog by yourself. Make sure you are frequently visiting other well established blogs in your niche and learning from them. Make sure you’re constantly leaving comments on other peoples post to get more exposure and to ask questions. Make sure you’re asking other bloggers what they’re doing, and make sure your constantly informing yourself on new strategies ( by reading training courses, e-books, and actual books).

So when your creating your next post, doing some blog design, or setting up some new plugins. Remember, Do what James Bond would do – and kick some ass.
