Blogging For Business Tip #7

Filed Under Blogging Tips

You’re blogging along.

Your blog is new and you enjoy writing.

Then you have another great idea. You start planning an event and a new product.

You take on a new client that requires a lot of time.

And you forget about blogging.

I hear that same scenario again and again.

What about marketing? Do you forget to mail out your postcards when a client keeps you busy? Or do you forget to put your ad together because you’re planning an event? Of course not.

But somehow blogging is different because it takes time. When really all it comes down to is time management.

Remember, the best thing about your blog is the calendar feature - you can release a new blog post whenever you like - just change the time and date.

Two strategies that work well.

1. One day a week write several blog posts and post date them. If Monday mornings are quiet, schedule an hour or two and write.

2. Set up your days with writing ideas. Maybe Monday is "How To" day. Tuesday is "Find A Resource" day. Wednesday is "Practical Tip" day. Thursday is "Case Study" day. And Friday is "Inspiration" day.

The important thing is to create your system ahead of time, and know what it takes to get the job done.
