Hi I'm Ryan Robinson

I'm a blogger, but I'm not my blog. I am not my business either. Occasional podcaster and very-much-recovering side project addict. Co-Founder at RightBlogger. Join me here, on ryrob.com to learn how to start a blog and build a purpose-connected business. Be sure to take my free blogging tools for a spin... especially my wildly popular free keyword research tool & AI article writer. They rule. Somehow, I also find time to write for publications like Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Next Web, Business Insider, and more. Let’s chat on Twitter (X?) and YouTube about our feelings (and business, of course).

  3. I started my blog nearly 2 months ago and I’ve been educating myself ever since.

    All those resources combined pale in comparison to this single post of yours – and I’m referring to some big names here.

    Thanks and well done!

  4. Hello Ryan.

    A great, simple, and effective blog with all the valuable information. From selecting a topic, deciding the hosting price to the end of content strategy helped me a lot. Thanks!!

    I would love to know about your first blog, how you have decided on the topic, and how well it performed?

    • You’re welcome, Aiden! Glad to hear that 🙂

      My first blog post topic wasn’t something I researched at all… it was just a compelling thought/feeling I had and needed to get out of my head & onto the screen. It’s never really driven any traffic to it (because it’s not designed around a specific keyword phrase), which is a lesson I learned pretty quickly after that first post!

  5. Thank you very much for the recommendations. I have used several of them and some of them count more impressions, others pay better, in short each one has its own.

  7. Great information in simple easy language that a non-tech can understand. I was thinking of starting a blog but knew nothing about it as to what to do how to do. Now I know all that is needed to know.

    Thanks
