How it works
The 5 steps in the DREAM method are sequential, and designed to help you identify your niche, learn how to attack it, and ultimately, how to earn cash along the way.
Define your niche
A successful blog as a theme. A niche or core topic that surrounds it. This website has ‘earning money online with a blog’, others have ‘how to lose 15lbs in 30 days’, or ‘fly fishing for beginners’. Ultimately, this should be something you love, and would happily write about for a long time.
Research your keywords and competition
Much of the DREAM method revolves around content and something called SEO (being found via search engines). It’s important then, to understand how (and where) people search for your niche. And when you do those searches right now, who shows up – and what’s special about them?
Earn your spot in the mix
Knowing what you’ll write about, and how you’ll be found – now comes the journey to put your blog in a position amongst the competition. Get your website ranking on search engines and attracting traffic. Then the games begin.
Attack your competition’s gaps
Being the new blog on the block has it’s advantages. Namely, being able to see what all your competitors are doing, and more importantly, what they’re not doing. You’ll be aiming to make an experience 1% better than your competition in every way. Doing so steals attention and traffic from them, positioning you for the takeover.
Monetize your blog
With traffic and attention comes opportunity. Using your website’s data and niche knowledge – create an info product (ebook, guide, course, worksheet, etc.). Something that costs $0 to create, and earns you 100% profit, month after month, year after year.
