Great tips!

I set give myself an hour a day to read blogs and comment on them. I usually do this during my lunch hour and I have found it’s given be a great online presence in the blogging community.

I do have to cut myself off at the hour otherwise I think I would just keep blogging all day :)

What a great post!

I’m new to blogging, too, and I also work a full-time job so this post really strikes home.

I should try the idea of carrying a notebook idea that I see everyone talking about. Right now I just have little scraps of paper tucked into my uniform pocket at the end of the day, and lots of junk mail envelopes laying around my car! LOL

I especially like the power posting idea and the scheduling tips. I have few days off from work over the next week and I think, instead of blindly working up posts I’ll use the time to get organized.

Thanks so much!

very helpful tips. just as i needed being a newbie blogger and just starting to have my own blog be known in the blogosphere.

im certainly getting overwhelmed with pressure on posting deadlines and at the same how to make my blog be known and widely-read.

what i am doing is trying to build relationships with other bloggers so as when i get overwhelmed and pressured i have great people to fall back on and cheer me up…and help keep going my blog.

great, engaging, quality contents are indeed far much better than having daily posts… having some intervals also between posts i think makes readers have some focus and have a deeper engagement on the posted topic on a blog.

Great Post, I especially love the idea of batch posting. I personally am happy to spend a lot of time on my blog at the moment and batch writing my posts especially if they are on the same topic will really save me time. Especially when researching things because quite often you stumble across valuable information that you should save for another post.

actually bloggers with other commitment should not be an issue because blogging should be just like a hobby so whenever you have the time to blog you blog and when you don’t wait until you have the time to blog to do it, it doesn’t have to be a requirement to do unless you make it as your main source of income then you’ll have the requirement to do it everytime but in that case you’ll have no other commitment since that is your job right, in my position I make blogging as one of my hobbies so this is always my second priority

This is such a timely read for me! I go back to work full time next week (after being laid off for four months) and I’m nervous about incorporating blogging into my new schedule. My blog is only a few weeks old but it’s already doing so well and there’s no way I’m going to let it go by the wayside! I’ve already been doing some “batch blogging,” and I have a very small laptop so I can blog when I’m commuting to work (I’m in NYC).

I make use of my iPhone and jot down headlines or topics that I come across in my non-blog activities throughout the day. When it’s time to write a post, I have a little host of topics to consider.

I think planning out blogs in advance (like the 31 Day idea) is also good for keeping you focused on writing regular content. Even if you’re busy you can knock out a few blogs at a time and schedule them to post later.

I just wanted to say that as a newbie, you really gave some good ideas about blogging and how to get it done. It sure is beneficial to read from someone who has been through it and knows what they are talking about.

Thanks,

Regularity is key. I recently looked at the dashboard of my blog and noticed that all the blog post times were within 10 minutes of one another on any given day. It helps keep me in the groove. I also have a notebook where I keep quotes, ideas and I stuff articles I’ve ripped out of magazines. Having a steady stream of inspiration keeps the pump primed.

I found the best way to write posts is offline. Otherwise my attention wanders and the temptation to check FaceBook and Twitter becomes irresistible!

I like the idea of power blogging several blogs at once. Another idea would be to carry paper or a tape recorder.. I get the best ideas when I am empty handed!

Everyone says to blog every day, and I think that is where I have been going wrong! It is really starting to get to my stress levels, with school added.
