Welcome to Day 16 of the #ThreeStepsNoExcuses journey with me, Rob Willmann.
Today is Day 16! That means that you're over halfway to the finish line of our 30 day challenge. Excellent work!
I remember going through this challenge, and as I knocked off each day, it felt like a real accomplishment. (hint: that's because it was...)
If you're not familiar with this process, be sure to check out Day 1 where I go over the whole process.

Here's what you can expect in my daily updates:
- A short list of the three steps,
- My results and thoughts about each step.
- A link to my 3Steps Today email course funnel so I can grow my list. (I am a marketer after all.)
- Current amount of CTP, Hive, PoB, Leo the @threesteps account owns.
Let's go!
Your 3 Steps for Day 16 of #ThreeStepsNoExcuses
- Watch CTP training video "Blogging". It's a gamechanger.
- Try pulling people toward your blog with ListNerds.
- Watch the Plus 1 Success video "Get Uncomfortable" and then blog some more.
1. Watch CTP training video "Blogging". It's a gamechanger.
Login to Click Track Profit, and locate the "Blogging" video. It's in the Profit! section.
Realistically this is one of the best ways to get your name out there, brand yourself, and earn crypto on the Hive blockchain.
Yes, there's a lot of options: peakd, dapplr, ecency, hive.blog, ctptalk, proofofbrain, etc. You get the point. Each of those is a front-end to the hive blockchain, and your ticket to reading and writing on the blockchain.
Once you start writing, you'll improve over time, and grow as a marketer. When you first start it may seem awkward, but just keep at it.
Plus if you do your blogging on CTPTalk, there's a whole community of folks who are very friendly and will support you along your journey. You really can't lose.
If you don't know what to write about, write about your journey. It works. (You're reading mine.)
I'm not so much a fan of Exxp plugin for Wordpress any longer. While it does make publishing from your Wordpress blog to Hive blockchain easier, it also costs you 15% of your reward. Nope. That's not configurable either.
I am trying to grow my accounts, and at this point some of my posts are worth some tokens, and I don't wish to lose 15% of the pay for my efforts to a service when I can just do it myself.
Time for List Nerds.
2. Try pulling people toward your blog with ListNerds.
When I think of mailers or safelists, I usually think of it as a place where I get pitched to. It seems to be rare that anyone tries to use PULL marketing rather than PUSH.
In PUSH marketing, you are pushing your offer toward folks. In PULL marketing, you are encouraging\pulling people to check out your blog, etc. It makes all the difference in the world.
Since you're going to start blogging, it's a great idea to use ListNerds to pull people toward your blog. I have one email that I use that specifically pulls people toward my blog. See the screenshot above. It's the one hilighted. :)
These type of emails work because people don't like to be pitched. Sometimes just a conversation works wonders.
After working on an email that pulls toward your blog, check out Plus 1 Success!
3. Watch the Plus 1 Success video "Get Uncomfortable" and then blog some more.
Login to Plus 1 Success, and check out the video for day 16: "Get Uncomfortable"
Note: If you haven't upgraded, you still have access to all of the material from the 30 days in ebook form. :)
So this becomes something fun at this point. You're 16 days in. You just know Jon O. is going to spring something on you because he always does.
This one has you work on you.
Are you comfortable in what you're doing? Then there's no growth. There's no change.
Leave your comfort zone as a marketer and ditch the status quo.
Don't know what to do? Try something new:
- Write a blog post on a completely new topic.
- Go live on Twitter. (This one gets me.)
- Record a video on ThreeSpeak.
- Interview someone.
- Add someone as a friend on Social Media.
All of those are things that some of you may find awkward, and others may not. Doesn't matter.
Get out of your comfort zone.
Now let's talk about crypto. (Entering #leo mode.)
Current holdings for @threesteps account
| Token Name | Amount Held May 20 | Amount Held Today | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| CTP | 3076.66 | 6,675.36 | 3,598.69 |
| Hive | 115.49 | 126.63 | 11.14 |
| Leo | 232.88 | 267.68 | 34.80 |
| ALIVE | 0 | 1,995.42 | 1,995.42 |
| PoB | 20.35 | 35.53 | 15.18 |
Couple of glaring items:
- I added #alive to the mix of tokens. I now have ALIVE power staked, and having won the top spot in a staking competition put on by @flaxz, I now have a little more upvote power for ALIVE content. :)
- I didn't do these as consecutive days so I modified the header, so you can see the amount increased over time.
- This isn't all from just staking. I obviously practice dollar cost averaging and pick up tokens each week to increase my power on the blockchain. Boom.
- For the CTP amount, I also transferred some from my robwillmann account over. I am unstaking the 9K from my Rob account as well, since this account can now upvote and have it mean something.
With that, have a wonderful day. Go start promoting your online business with the new tools you now have in-hand.
That's it! Cya tomorrow. Please reach out to me if you have questions.

P.S. One last item:
I created a 30-day free email course on the #ThreeStepsNoExcuses journey mentioned above, and I'd really like to hear what you think about the content. You can sign up by clicking this link and then confirming your email address. The course lines up with the daily steps, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
^ Click that button to sign up for my free 30-day ecourse "3 Steps Today to Success".
Also, I've created an account on Hive blockchain called @ threesteps. It's a curation account that upvotes quality content on the blockchain. Mention this account in your post and I'll swing by and take a look. This is a community tool to increase earnings of people who write good content. I will specifically look for and upvote # ThreeStepsNoExcuses and # ThreeStepsToday posts first. I upvote quality content, and stake 100% of the Hive, CTP, and # leo this account earns. That way votes from this account increase as fast as possible.
