10 TED Talks For Bloggers

Hey, guys! How is your Wednesday? I hope you are well. Right now I am just cuddling with my kitty and listening to Stephen snore! Today I am bringing you a post about the best 10 TED Talks for bloggers. The first time I ever even heard of TED Talks was in Highschool I believe my junior year. I was amazed with how much content was on the site, and you had so many great leaders right on your screen for free. Recently, I went back through and found some old favorites & new and made a post for you in hopes it will help you on your journey as a blogger. Enjoy!

1. Eduardo Briceno: How to get Better at the Things you Care About

In this TED Talk Eduardo speaks on the importance of spending more time in the learning zone then the performance zone. I feel as if bloggers can relate to this in so many different ways. When you start as a blogger, you believe that if you write & write that you will eventually get to the top. That isn't the case at all. Take time out of your day to research blogging tips, and reading other blogs that you admire. Are you the kind of person that struggles when you write? You just want to get your words out on the page, then you forget about grammar?  Practice your writing with a grammar program such as Grammarly! This program has helped me so much on becoming a better writer. Grammarly is a program as you type that picks up your misspelled words, and any other grammar problem you might have. The best part it's free, and the only thing you have to pay for is premium, and premium just goes in further in helping you make your writing better for your readers. Below is a screenshot of what it looks like, and how simple it is.

 Here it is showing that I miswrote screenshot. You can click on the side box, and it will correct it for you!

Here I have Premium. It goes more in depth and shows that I am using a repetitive word, and it also gives tips! Even though you have to pay for Premium, you can get a week free using my link. It is such a great investment, and even if you don't want premium, you can use the free part!

2. Simon Sinek: How Great Leaders Inspire Action

This video is a little bit of a longer one, but it goes by so quick because what you learn from it is very true. I watched this a few times because I wanted to understand what Simon was saying in this TED Talk. As being a blogger, we are all leaders. No matter what our niche is, fashion, technology, lifestyle, or anything your heart wants to write about, we all have a follower base that tunes in to read our blog maybe daily or weekly. Homework for you, start saying why you blog, and why your blog is best for your viewers, instead of saying what your blog includes. 

3. Cameron Russell: Looks Aren't Everything. Believe Me; I'm a Model. 

Are you a blogger that struggles with what your image is in the blogging world, or on Instagram? This video is one you need to watch. Maybe this one won't help you with your blogging, but it will inspire you to change what you think of yourself, and that's why it's on this list.

4.  Shawn Achor: The Happy Secret to Better Work

This one will have you laughing the whole time. Shawn talks about how if we put more positive feedback in our lives towards people, and if we get it in return, our work is better. We start to live happier, be more creative, and live a better life. 

5.  Julian Treasure: How to Speak so that People Want to Listen 

This TED Talk is great if you also like to do some public speaking. Public speaking is something that is special in my heart. I was in FFA all four years of Highschool, in those four years, I went from a person that was very shy and scared to speak, to someone that was able to talk to anyone. Julian gives you tips and tricks on ways to talk, so people will want to listen to you and your issue. 

6. Richard St. John: 8 Secrets of Success

Every single one of these tips is true. Even I don't like the word success because I always want to be grateful for what I have, this is something that should be watched. If you ever want to be successful for the right reasons, you will not get there or last without these eight things. 

7. Amy Cuddy: Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are

The first time I watched this TED Talk I was amazed. I never really realized how important body language is. This video can come in handy if you are meeting with a brand on Skype or in person, or you have an e-course that you are filming.

8. Steve Jobs: How to Live Before You Die

Steve Jobs is just an inspiring person. This video the first ever TED video I ever watched, and It is such a beautiful speech. "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish."

9. Matt Cutts: Try Something New for 30 Days

I hope this inspires you to try something new with your blog or life for 30 days. For 30 days my goal is to connect with more brands and find more product that will help you. One of the new things you can try along with me is Inzpire! I just signed up for it and I'm loving it so far. Inzpire helps you get connected to the brands you love, know, and may not know. 

10. Thomas Suarez: A 12-year-old App Developer

You can never be too old or too young in this case to start your life and do what you love. One of my favorite on this list, I hope this inspires you to go for your dreams.

Thank you so much guys for reading this post. I really hope that you find each of these videos helpful in your career as a blogger.
