Today is the day of honesty (yeah, I just created that day.)
So let`s be totally honest; you are REALLY fed up.
Fed up by not having enough traffic to your blog…
fed up by not having enough social shares…
fed up by not having enough comments…
fed up by not having enough email subscribers.
But worst of all…
…you are so freakin` fed up by being invisible in the overcrowded blogosphere.
Sounds familiar?
No worries. I have been there too.
And to be completely honest (since it`s the day of honesty) it sucks BIGtime!
You would do almost everything to solve those problems above, right?
Perhaps even go so far as shave your head…
or even sell your left kidney.
Well, I got good news for you.
No need to go bald or increase the amount of kidneys on the black market just yet.
Relax. Breathe. I got your back.
But before I proceed, I have a million dollar question:
Do you know which awesome day it is today?
If you answered that it`s mybirthday, then a flying high five to you! *SLAP*
But the day isn`t just awesome because it`s my birthday.
The day is truly awesome because I spend my birthday giving praise and thanks to other people, like I did with this blog post last year.
Yeah,it seems tohave become a tradition for me.
But before I start with giving thanks to the long list of awesome people, I want to talk about…
The Elephant In The Room
When you start building your brand online, regardless of whether you are a blogger, internet marketer, small business owner or freelancer, you will quickly realize…
that you feel so ALONE.
Yes, I said it!
It`s freakin` lonely to start out online when…
you don`t know anyone…
you are totally invisible…
you don`t know what to do…
you don`t know who to ask for help…
you are afraid to fail…
but worst of all…
…you are starting to doubt if you have what it takes to succeed online, even BEFORE your have started out (I hope that motivation is not your target niche).
A really great way to start, right?
And I am going to be completely transparent.
All the brutal facts above applied to me in the start too.
And yeah, I was a bit afraid.
Nah, who am I kidding? I was freakin` terrified.
I had just decided to leave my six-figure corporate job in order to start my first blog.
Now you are probably thinking: “Hey Tor, that is just crazy”.
Yup, you said it!
In addition, I was going to become a father for the first time.
And now you are probably thinking: “Tor, that is sooo crazy that running around in your local mall totally nude, would almost be perceived as normal compared to the crazy stuff you are doing”.
I couldn`t agree with you more.
Note: Let me make it crystal clear. I am not vouching for nudeness at malls or any other public place for that matter. I just had to say that, so I won`t be the one to blame if your 86 year old neighbour ninja ambushes you nude next time you are out shopping.
After a few months of struggling and banging my head against the wall.
I decided that I was…
Freakin` Tired Of The Loneliness Crap
Enough is enough, and I was no longer going to be a lonely ranger in the wild wild blogging west.
There is no glory in failing alone.
So what did I do?
I started networking with other people online (or blogger outreach as we bloggers call it).
And what happened?
It changed EVERYTHING.
After a short while…
I got to know A LOT of people…
my blog and brand got more and more noticed…
I knew what to do…
I knew who to ask for help…
I wasn`t afraid to fail anymore…
but most importantly…
…I knew that I had what it takes to succeed online.
All that happened because I created a blogger outreach strategy.
And guess what?
If I can do it. Then so can you!
You are probably thinking: “I get it, Tor. Blogger outreach is important, but does it REALLY work?”
Good question indeed.
Judge for youself.
Here are some of…
The Accomplishments In My First Year Of Blogging:
- Got 2000 targeted Twitter followers in 38 days (free traffic) – I now have about 12 300 followers
- Wrote a post that generated 20 231 page views in 6 days, 1500+ social shares and 80 comments
- Won “Most Epic blog post” on Jon Morrow`s blog Boost Blog Traffic
- Became a moderator for Serious Bloggers Only (Jon Morrow`s mastermind group)
- Became a case study for Jon Morrow`s Guest Blogging course
- Was asked to go through and give feedback on Jon Morrow`s Blog Launch Formula course
- Increased my email list in 779 subscribers in 60 days (by working 40 days)
- Included among the top 100 personal development blogs on 99 Smart Ideas
- Got 28 guest posts published on big websites, including Pick The Brain, Addicted 2 Success, Jeff Bullas, Tiny Buddha, Lifehack, etc.
- Got featured as a productivity expert on Inc.
- Got featured as an expert on 44 blogs, including Ahrefs, SEM Rush, Post Planner, Monster, etc.
- Added 347 subscribers to my list in one day by using what I call “The Banking Technique”
- Connected with hundreds of influencers by using what I call “The Thanks For The Party Technique”
- Created several digital products
- Have 3 blog posts ranking on the first page of Google, and several on page 2 and 3 (still climbing)
Note: Nothing of the above would have been possible, if I didn`t have a clear blogger outreach strategy.
I will soon be launching my free blogger outreach course called “How To Blog Outreach Like A Boss”. Only 100 spots available (seriously).
Click on the button below and reserve your spot, so you can receive some of my BEST tips (that no one else uses).

You might be thinking: “Okay, Tor. You managed to do blogger outreach, and that`s good for you. But I don`t have as much time to spend on it as you do.”
I hear you.
Let me reveal something toyou; when I was building my blog, Sara and me became parents for the first timeforour lovely baby daughter Luna.
Did I mention that Luna had colic and she was screaming 20 hours per day in about 3 months straight?
Did I also mention that during that time, I managedto cancel a renting contract, get a bank loan and buy a new apartment in 3 days?
To be quite honest, on average I spent about 2 hours per week on blogger outreach.
I only managed to do it so effectively because I had a specific blogger outreach strategy (and I`m extremely productive).
If you think you can`t spend2 hours per week on one of the most IMPORTANT activities for your online business…
well, then you just don`t want it bad enough.
But I know that you can do it!
Then it`s time to dish away some praise to the awesome people.
Note:I have connected with so many great people, that if I forget to mention your name here, please forgive me. Just send me an email and I will lash myself with a penguin with a dull beak.
Without further ado, here is the list of awesome peeps (in no particular order)…

Hi Tor,
Happy birthday, my friend!
Wow, you’ve had an amazing year filled with wonderful accomplishments. I didn’t know you were a moderator for Jon’s SBO group. That’s awesome!
I’m humbled you chose to give me a shout out. I’m grateful for you, too, Tor. You’ve been very supportive of Be A Better Blogger, and I truly appreciate it. I hope we’re able to connect even more in the coming year!
I’ll tweet this right away. Congrats again!

IGNITE! (Yeah, I used your signature, John).
Stay awesome!
Hi Tor,
Let me start by wishing you a very Happy Birthday, though I wished you on Facebook earlier, but it’s always good to wish you at your place, right here! 🙂
My goodness! You sure have achieved a great deal in such a short time period, which is commendable! Your hard work and efforts are well noticeable my friend, and we wish you many more years of success and happiness, especially now when you start your family.
Thanks so much for the kind mention, along with so many others – truly an honor to know you. Have a nice week ahead 🙂
Thanks a lot, Harleena.
I really appreciate your great comment, my friend.
I`m honoured to know you as well 🙂

Best,

Tor,
What a nice surprise!
Thanks for including me in your list. Everyone you mentioned are awesome so I’m humbled that I’m a part of this group.
Keep up the rad stuff and I hope Luna is out of her colic phase. My daughter had bouts of that and I found using a probiotic to really help (I can email you the name).
Thanks a lot, Elna.
Luna is doing better now, thanks.
I really appreciate your nice email with the tip, though.
Stay awesome, my friend!
Tor
Hey Tor,
Wow, what a year you’ve had and I hope you’re having a very happy birthday! You definitely deserve everything this life has to offer and enjoy it on your special day.
You’ve accomplished so much this year and am in awe of what you’ve achieved. You just prove to all of us that when you hit the ground running that things can happen.
Thank you for including me and I know what you mean. I’ve run across some amazing people myself that I’m so thankful that I met and you’re on that list as well.
I know your course will be awesome and I hope everyone signs up quickly.
Have a great end to your week and Happy Holidays! I’m definitely sharing this one.

Thanks and hope the colicky days are far behind you!
Jan
Jan, you are so kind.
I like you already 😉
I really appreciate your kind words. It makes all the hard work and effort totally worth it!
Have a great day, and I`m looking forward to getting to know you better.
Tor
Happy birthday Tor!
You’ve met a ton of people and went on a productivity spree the whole year. Crazy how much you’ve gotten done.
Enjoy your time with Luna, it’s going to breeze by so fast.
Happy holidays to you and your family!
Thanks a lot, Dennis.
Your kind words mean a lot.
Yeah, I got to admit that it has taken a lot of hard and strategic work. That being said, it was totally worth it.
It`s all about your strong why.
How much do you want the prize, and what are you willing to sacrifice in order to get it?
Happy holidays to you and your family too 🙂
Tor
Happy B’day Tor. It’s been a wonderful year for you. You have received lots of love from the authoritative figures in the market. So, this post is a wonderful way of emoting the same love for them. A sweet return gift.
You made this day possible by your consistent hard work. I have been seeing your valuable content on various sites. It takes lots of guts to leave six figure comfortable job. On top of that, you took the decision when you were expecting a baby. I hope Luna is feeling fine right now. Give my love to her.
High Five to You “SLAP’ and ‘Respect’ buddy
As I have completed my e-book, I am also planning to launch blogger outreach via guest posting. I have big plans for the next year. Let’s see how things work out in future.
Have a great life. More Power to you
Thanks a for your kind words, Yatin.
Your support means a lot 🙂
Exciting about your e-book. Good luck with that 🙂
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Tor
Thanks Tor for showing the interest for my e-book. It’s a 20 chapters free E-Book on content marketing. If you allow me, I’d like to send the pdf to you. I am having your e-mail id.
Let me know about it buddy 🙂
Happy Birth Day buddy!
I’m super-excited to see how your last year hast been so productive, getting mentioned and connecting with other savvy bloggers. It’s been (and is still) a blessing connecting and sharing with you mate.
One thing I know is that there are better days ahead so let’s keep giving.
Congratulations, buddy! Many more years 😉
Thanks a lot for your kind words, Enstine.
I really appreciate it. The feeling is mutual, my friend 🙂
Your support means a lot.
Tor
Happy Belated Birthday Tor! Hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks SO much for lumping me in with this extraordinary group of bloggers 😉
Ryan
Thanks a lot, Ryan. My birthday was great!
The pleasure was all mine 🙂
Merry Christmas, buddy.
Very kind of you to give me a shout out on your birthday, Tor. Thank you!
Here’s to making 2016 our best year so far!
Brent
Thanks for commenting, Brent.
Yeah, cheers to that my friend 🙂
Merry Christmas!
Hi Tor,
I meant to follow up on your reply… I’m curious.
You obviously encountered an overwhelming level of success thanks to guest posting in 2015… what are some of your goals for this year?
Do you think you’ll blow those numbers out of the water?
Brent
Hey Brent,
thanks for following up.
When me and my better half, Sara, bought a new apartment when I just started my online business, I obviously didn´t have a fixed income like in a 9-5 job.
However, what I did have, and which I have been working my b*tt for in the last few years, was a descent “I have escaped the rat race” fund.
That being said, the bank needed to freeze 95% of that money in order for us to get a loan.
So my only focus this year is the month of May.
By the end of May I will have hit: 4000 subscribers and earn $3000 per month.
Why?
So the bank can release my money from prison, and I can finally buy my baby daughter, Luna, a pink unicorn.
Well, I probably have to buy a horse, paint it pink and glue a horn to the forehead (*psst* Don´t tell Luna about it).
Obviously I have goals for each month, however it´s all about May.
Thanks for asking, my friend.
Rock on!
Tor
Sorry for just getting back to this comment now, Tor.
I can’t wait to hear how this year shapes up for you — especially May. Keep me posted.
Brent
No worries, Brent.
Thanks. Will do, my friend 🙂
Tor
Hey Tor,
First off Happy Birthday!
I have to tip my hat off to you. You have accomplished a lot within in a short time. My plan next you is to do more networking and it looks like I’ve connected many of the people you’ve connected with which gives me a lot of motivation. I look forward to 2016!
Thanks for the motivating post Tor! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for your commenting, Sherman.
You kind words are mucho appreciated 🙂
In 2016, we will tear it wide open!
Merry Christmas!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my brotha from anotha motha!
You’re a grade A rockstar, and I can’t thank you enough for including me in this epic roundup of awesome sauce. I’m so grateful we connected this year.

-Dre
Dre, thanks a lot for your awesome words, my sista from another mista!
Your support and our friendship means a lot.
You totally rock!
High five *SLAP*
Merry Christmas, Dre!
Happy Birthday Tor, from a fellow SBO member. Love your enthusiasm and I’m so impressed by your list of achievements in 2015. It has inspired me to aim for a similar list this time next year. 2016 will be my first year of blogging and if I can come up with half that number of achievements, I will be ecstatic. Happy Christmas too!
Thanks a lot, Mel.
Your kind words makes all the hard work and effort totally worth it.
You can do it too!
Get a blogging coach and take action 😉
High five *SLAP*
Merry Christmas!
Oh my, Tor! I’m honored that you thought of this on your birthday. I’m celebrating a fantastic year to come for you. Your tenacity and will to serve others with amazing content will pay off big time.
Keep up the great work. Here’s to a brilliant 2016, my friend!
Tanya, thanks a lot for your kind words.
I really appreciate it.
Merry Christmas, my friend!
Sorry I got to this one so late buddy.
Hope you had a great birthday and I wish you the best of luck with your site going forward in 2016!
No sweat, Glen.
Thanks for commenting and for your kind words, my friend.
My birthday was great by the way; my better half, Sara, got me sushi from the best sushi restaurant in Norway and a few Coronas with lime. Not the worst way to spend my birthday 😉
Merry Christmas!
Hi Tor,
Here comes a bit belated birthday wishes.
May you have an amazing year ahead.

You’re totally incredible and inspiring. By the way me too my baby Brooklyn had colic and it was making me horrible.
Thanks a lot for your kind words, Bill.
It means a lot 🙂
Sorry to hear about your baby Brooklyn having colic. It will pass after about 3 months.
Have an awesome day!
Tor
Hey Tor! Thank you for such an inspiring article!
I have started my own blog recently, and I perfectly understand every word you say. Mutual relationship is the best thing blogging can give you. Friendship, support – what can be better?
I wish you success and I’m sure you will achieve everything you wish for in life! I hope one day I will join this wonderful group of people you have mentioned here.
Thanks for your kind words, Michael.
Rock on and a happy new year! 🙂
Tor
Hi Tor,
Wish you a belated happy birthday!
I’ve been in your shoes- left a corporate job so I could be with my newborn(who did not sleep for a year) and pursue a freelance writing career both at the same time.
While it was very tough, the end result was extremely satisfying. Your story is inspirational and will motivate me to work harder on my online writing business. Thanks for sharing and best wishes for the new year!
Patricia
Hey Patricia,
thanks for your comment and for sharing your story.
I really appreciate that.
Nothing worth accomplishing is achieved easy.
Hard and strategic work usually pays off 😉
Happy New Year!
Tor
Hi Tor,
Happy New Year! This post is such a inspiring post! Being a newbie how to make relationship with the bloggers, friends and how to drive traffic is some points! Enjoy the Article!
Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it.
Have a great day!
Tor
Hello Tor,
Wow you are famous my man and absolutely delighted to visit your place.
Congratulations on your amazing success – your story is something that excites, inspires and scares the hell out of me – all at the same time!
Actually found you via the Jon Morrow Guest Blogging course that I’m right in the middle of completing and inspired by your case study. Also earlier today I saw your brilliant comment on Sue Anne Dunlevie’s post about ‘The Truth About Making Money with your Blog”
Have joined your blogger outreach program as I’m sure you will add some unique ideas to the program Jon Morrow is currently taking me through.
Looking forward to knowing you more Tor and thanks for your inspiration
Best wishes from a remote Thai village blogger
Peter
Hey Peter,
your kind words just made my day. Comments like those make all the hard work and effort totally worth it.
Thanks a lot 🙂
My recipe was basically:
1. Get a coach
2. Blogger outreach like your life was depending on it
3. Apply massive action (and have no excuses)
Looking forward to get to know you better, Peter.
Thanks for signing up for my course.
I will dish out some exclusive awesomeness there 😉
Rock on!
Tor
I am a big fan of Jon Morrow and love his blog boostblogtraffic. This is really informative blog post and i love it. I read about you at successfulblogging.com.
Thanks for your kind words, Tahir 🙂
Both Jon and Sue rocks!
Wow this is incredible Tor! What you have achieved is truly remarkable and inspirational for others out there who are starting their blogs online. Great deal to learn from this. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your kind words, Bharat.
My recipe was:
1. Get a coach
2. Blogger outreach and network with influencers
3. Apply massive action
It works like a charm 🙂
Tor
What a fantastic year Tor. Congratulations mate. I remember I started following you in the beginning. So good to hear of your amazing year and success. I have been a bit out of the loop doing other things and finding my niche. I have started again, arrrghh no traffic. But on the right track now. Be good to reconnect. 🙂
Thanks for your kind words, Julie 🙂
Finding your niche is very important. If not, it´s like running as fast as you can with no direction.
How do you know when you arrive at your destination?
Or even worse, after many months of hard work, you finally discover that you were going in the complete opposite direction.
Spend your time on nailing your niche and your target customers.
That will save you for a lot of frustration in the future 😉
Best,
Tor
Hi Tor,
Congratulations on your success. I need to ask something how do you monetize your blog.
Hey Aravinth, thanks for your kind words.
Good question.
I do about $3000+ per month in coaching, and I recently launched my first product using something I call The Pre-Free Technique, which resulted in $6000+ in sales. And I make a few dollars in affiliate commission.
Tor
Yes!!! Just what I needed. Now this is what will be keeping me busy this weekend as I take on new content for my craft beer blog! Praises to you for this information 🙂
Thanks a lot for your kind words, Caitlin.
Glad to hear that you found my post useful.
Have a super day!
Tor
