Blogging Tips


As interesting as the idea and practice of blogging is to all of us enthusiasts, it’s still lots and lots of work. And I think this is one of the reasons a lot of people drop out, People jump into the bandwagon, but then the zeal fades away over time simply because of the hard work required to keep posting content day in and day out.

Why are lots of blogs left to lie fallow?


Author’s Laziness and Procrastination.

People kept procrastinating. Too lazy to sit down and put their thoughts down on paper. And even in those moments when they did, they were too lazy to organize them properly for posting.
Then it was also a challenge to do the necessary reading and research to spice up and enrich the material.

Poor Time Management.

As a busy person, failed to allocate time in a tactical manner so as to accommodate their passion of blogging.
Low Prioritization of Blogging.

. We all know that if you want to succeed in anything, you must give it premium time allotment. Think about football for instance, can you win footballer of the year by playing every now and then at the school field?

Unpredictability of Idea Flows

A lot of bloggers have told me that sometimes they just don’t have anything to write on.
This is quite normal because ideas flow in seasons. Sometimes you have more of them than you can handle, at other times they seem to be nowhere near your mind.


Do you have any reasons more than the ones I have posted above?
You can share them in the comment box below.

Now, let’s examine some practical tips to assist you in ensuring that your blog is updated regularly.


#1. Set a Posting Goal.

Do you have to post something everyday? No.
Do you have to post with a certain regularity? Yes.
It is very important that you have a rhythm that is consistent. This is particularly important when you have subscribers.
I think that once a week is the minimum you should strive for. Three times a week is ok. Once every day is great but advisable if your traffic is big. This is because often times, you need to give your readers sometime to digest what you’ve already posted.
What of several times a day?
Not if you have a large readership of regularly online people. But then it can only be brief posts and tips that your readers can easily follow.
The most important thing is that you choose a rhythm that you can maintain and increase with time.


If you are running your site as an expression of your passion, that is, as a hobby, you still need to maintain a certain level of integrity, stability and consistency. But however you do it, ensure that enough time is allocated to this great passion of yours.
