Thanks Jonathon for the time management tips, I tend to write a lot then go very quiet until I think that I’ve been neglecting my blog, so thanks for outlining your successful strategy which I must stick to.

I sat down this weekend to further develop an editorial calendar which I can already tell will be really helpful. I tend to get in the situation where I get overly excited about all of the topics that I’m looking into and want to post them all at once. And then have nothing for another week! A plan will help me tremendously! Thank you

Great tip!

What an awesome post. I have just started my blog and I think this is a really valuable article. I hope to become a rockstar in my niche and I know it’s going to take a lot of work but this structure is something I will be implementing straight away.

Thanks!

I also have themed days:

Make Money Mondays
Techy Tuesdays
Wedded Bliss Wednesdays
Tough Life Thursdays
Lite Fare Fridays

What’s funny is that when I first started blogging, I knew that I was most interested in writing about relationships and self-development, although I am most interested in reading about business, money and personal finance. What ended up happening is that I would fill up with money, business and personal finance information all day because that is what I was reading about. So, I had lots of ideas in those categories, but a lot less in the relationship and personal development cateogories.

Now, the idea that I was most excited about – relationships – is my hardest category to write in partly because my husband is away on deployment so there’s not much to write about from personal experience except from a long distance perspective.

But, just as you stated, I will continue to grow and evolve with time.

Great post and I believe that time management is really an important thing for a successful blog. I believe it is a good step because that’s what I can’t do.

Being 15 years old High School Junior and trying to get good grades in school I am not left with time to do my blog or my work properly. I made a decision and started giving more importance to my blog, I know it’s a bad thing but after I get some traffic I will go to my same old routine of all A’s. Hope I can be a good time manager one day.

Great post Darren.
Thanks

Great ideas! I’m wondering, do you alternate the feature/ short articles among your different themes? Or always run certain themes as features?

For example. I’ve set Monday for home management ideas, Tuesday for books, and Thursday talk about my family. Do you mean some weeks I should have a short home management post and long book post and then switch it the next week? Or always have short posts for home management and books and long posts for my family?

Hi Darren,

There is so much to learn that it makes ones head spin! I am presently trying to learn how to add an RSS feed with my own content and it’s not as easy as everyone is making it out to be. I ordered your book from Amazon and can’t wait to read it! Thanks for the info. It’s fantastic.

Yeah that sounds good when you said your blog should be an ever changing, ever growing organism. I am trying to make my blog like this.

Hi Darren , I really agree with your post. Although blogging is very new to me , I really think that for us to create a long term blog with
amount of readers that will always come back, PLAN is very important :)

By the way , talking about niche , as a librarian which work around books and information , I think that I also have to share whatever good information about library,reading and book with all other readers out there.

Maybe you can as well provide ideas how I can make my blog a fun place for readers…

Thanks man…

Following a good plan is always important, but I find it hard to stay focused without accountability so I have daily reviews of progress by family members. It keeps me on track.

I like the idea of themed days and thought the following paragraph hit home in particular:

“A content plan also helps you manage your time. When starting a blog, you’re often awash with tons of ideas for posts.”

One of the things that is a big worry for me is running out of time and ideas. I have been shocked how much running a blog is often more about time management and organisational skills than writing….

Still it’s all great fun
