Bathroom Break Blog Challenge

By now it’s probably pretty obvious that blogging is one of the most important things that we can be doing as business owners. The internet has made all business owners into content creators. This is due to the fact that marketing has changed from something that you pay a third party to do, to something that you produce.

In and of this endeavor, we are working on our blog here at SkyPoint. So we decided to make a new challenge that would help to drive content creation for the blog. We call this challenge the Bathroom Break Blog Challenge. And essentially it goes like this, every time you go to the bathroom and want to bring your phone and look at Facebook or Instagram, instead whip out a writing program and dictate a blog post.

This is a much better use of the time then scrolling through social media. Once the blog post is dictated, and the bathroom business is finished up, the post is sent out to an email account. Inside the email account (on a desktop computer) the post will be copied and pasted into the website blog post.

Then from there, it will be edited and formatted, adding images and links and then the post will be ready to send out to the world! So why is it so effective? Because we all go to the bathroom every day! And this is time that we could be using to help to grow our businesses, believe it or not.

We all have thoughts in our minds about how to run our businesses, and usually those thoughts are the most poignant in our mind when we go to the bathroom. It’s one of those times in the day where the business owner is guaranteed to have some free time to write.

It’s the type of writing that I like to do, which is really just dictating into the phone and then editing it later. What are you doing to get yourself to write more? Do you have a specific process or place that you like to go to write?

Let me know in the comments below! I’d like to hear your thoughts on the Bathroom Break Blog Challenge.

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas. Specialties: Extensive experience in online and offline business. Especially savvy at WordPress, and operate several sites, one example is the blog: skypointwebdesignbillingsmontana.com/tech-blog.
