Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes
Yeah right, not if you are talking about a blogging god. The one thing Bloggers need to do is realize that they have readers who want to see something new out of them every day. Frankly that is also the quickest way to burn out as a blogger, especially for those of us managing multiple blogs. There are a few tips though that will help reduce the stress.
- Write posts ahead of time either for scheduled publication or keep them around in draft form until they are either finished or you need to pull something out of your ass.
- Make a schedule of posts and keep to it, it is even better if you post it somewhere on your blog so when you get a few nasty emails wondering where your daily blog post is you can point to it. Yes it does happen, in fact that is why I am writing this damned list now. I was tired and needed a day off yesterday and I too it from this blog. One of these days I will manage to take one off from all three at the same time.
- Make a quick post about anything relevant. Don’t make it a crap post, or it isn’t worth your time to even do and you will suffer from it in the long run.
- Make sure you have some great links to provide and tell your readers why they should go read these other people’s blog too.
- Remember even Blogging Gods have bad days and don’t post everyday.
In honor of the suggestion here are my favorite blogging links of the day.
