Blogging Tips
When you’re on a roll, you keep on going. Working late.
I’m sitting here with a blank screen trying to figure out how to put into words what’s in my head. I’m sure I’m not the only one that struggles with keeping up with their blog. Some days it’s a piece of cake and I have 4 great ideas, so I write them and schedule them and other times its struggle city.
Here are a few ideas that help me keep posting consistently:
- Schedule writing time. Put in on the calendar.
- Have at least one extra post ready for when life gets in the way of posting (think of it as your backup or emergency post).
- Plan ahead. If I’m going to travel when a post is supposed to go out, I write it in advance and schedule the post (or use the backup post).
Here are a few ideas to help keep creative ideas flowing:
- What category is low on posts?
- Anything news that falls into your topic(s)?
- Keep a notebook handy (digital, or physical) for when inspiration strikes!
- Take a break. Visit the library, take a walk, call a friend… (I don’t recommend watching TV)
- Play on social media. It could trigger an idea.
- Listen to Podcasts. It doesn’t even need to be related to your topic.
- Been to any meetings or conferences that relate to your blog?
