Keeping your blog updated with regular posts can sometimes be quite difficult. I think once the initial excitement of a new blog wares off it is often one of the hardest realizations that you have to keep your blog going.
Some days you might be on a roll and find it easy to come up with new topics but other days it is just too hard. Lately i have been a little slack on the updates as you might have seen, truth is i think i have just been a little busy with a few other projects. So how do i motivate myself to keep on going?
I spend a good portion of my time reading RSS feeds of other blogs. Not just Internet Marketing blogs, but all sorts of blogs. I think if you just stuff your brain with nothing but IM then you might just go a little bananas. This not only takes your mind off the pressure you’re feeling but also gets your creative side of your brain ticking away. Of course don’t waste all your time reading other peoples stuff!
Researching is what i do most of. Even tho i have been doing this IM thing for a number of years you can never stop learning. So once you have learned something new why not tell people about it? Your blog is there to inform people and the best way to do that is by researching and keeping up with the latest news and techniques, your readers will reward you by commenting and subscribing to your feed and even telling others about your site.
Every once in a while it is nice to throw in a post that might be completely unrelated to your blogs theme. This is good to keep things interesting and not just down to business. Good for not only you but also your readers.
You are allowed not to blog! This is your blog so you are in charge (unless of course you aren’t in which case you should be blogging yourself right now!). Don’t try to post so many posts a day this can only stress you out and can even affect the quality of your posts. So don’t rush things, if you cant think of something good or you are not happy with it, leave it until you think it is ready to go or you have another good idea. WordPress has drafts for a reason!
Speaking of drafts, if you think of something, just an idea, then GET IT INTO THE DRAFTS! Dont sit on it or forget it! Get it down, just a little scribble post and save it so you can come back to it later on.
So there are quite a few ways and everyone will have their own techniques. The important thing is to remember to not freak out and just keep going at your own pace.
