My Blog Exercise…
Today I like to share with you my blog exercise ideas for my blog as been teach by Problogger mentor Darren Rows.
How might your blog look in 4-5 years time? Create a list of 10 ways that you might one day expand your blog.
I know this seems like a pretty crazy task for some of you because I know for a fact that many Alex Jeffreys students are just starting out and are still in their launch (or even pre-launch) phase – however I do think that this type of exercise can be helpful even if you don’t do much with the ideas you come up with.
For me this type of brainstorming has not only led to concrete ideas and plans but even just the process of dreaming has inspired me to keep growing my blogs. I also think that having some bigger possibilities in mind can sometimes help you to shape your blog in the here and now.
So open up a document or grab a pen and paper or a whiteboard and start to dream and brainstorm about how you might one day expand your blog.
While I don’t want to limit your brainstorming by giving you too many ideas – you might like to think about some of these:
-different mediums you might like to add (video, forums etc)
-other related blogs you could start
-services that you could offer
-new categories that you could write about
-new sections of your site that you could add
-new features that you could offer readers
If you’d like to share some of what you come up with please feel free to share some of your thoughts in comments below – but in the mean time do the exercise for yourself and see where it might lead you!

Hi Syed,
Brainstorming can be a great exercise and you can continually add to it. Right now I’ve just been focusing on “how to” posts so that anyone new like me can easily set up their own WordPress blog, but I definitely want to grow and expand to bigger ideas on my blog in the future.
Take Care, Heidi
