Do you often find yourself getting distracted while you are working? Are there items on your To-Do List that seem to stay there for a long time? Do you consistently miss deadlines and end up losing opportunities or paying to solve problems?

Most small business owners understand the importance of content marketing, but few are doing enough. Some of the common excuses I have heard are – I’m too busy to blog. I don’t know what to write about. No one wants to read what I write.

We’ve opened and closed a bunch of eCommerce stores in the past 5 years. The one that remains the most successful and still generates a decent monthly income is our first store – TOPI Covers. It was one of the pioneer stores to use the Shopify platform. In fact, when we opened the store back in July 2010, we were store number 2716. 

By I’ve been blogging 3 times a week for more than 6 months. In this time, I have written more than 72 blog posts, covering various topics from business, to parenting, to love, to LGBT issues. I have been fortunate enough to have a few posts go semi-viral, with one blog post being picked up by BuzzFeed. So what have I learnt in these 6 months?
