5 Ways to Simplify Your Blog Writing
Author: Madeline Crogan
How many times have you spent more time than you wanted to writing your blog entries? Blogs are a great way to make a name for yourself in you field, but they can be quite tedious...especially if you are trying to post almost every day.
These five tips will help you simplify your blog writing processes, freeing up your time for other pursuits.
1. Write a week's worth of entries in one day. It can be difficult to find the time every day to write interesting blog entries. Save yourself the time and hassle by setting aside a good chunk of time to write a week's worth of blog entries in one sitting. It may seem troublesome, but I assure you, once you start writing, things will flow freely and you'll actually spend less time than if you'd written one post every day.
2. Know and enjoy your subject. If you pick your niche solely because of demand, you're going to have a difficult time sounding genuine and writing interesting posts. However, if you understand your subject...and better yet enjoy it, then your blog posts will come easily and naturally without a whole lot of work.
3. Keep a notebook for ideas. How many great blog posts have been written in your head while riding the subway only to be forgotten later? If you keep a notebook with you, you are able to write down any great ideas as they come to you. It's much easier to write a post when you've got a list of possible topics on hand.
4. Write using lists. People like to see lists and lists are easier to write. By using lists and bullet points in your posts, you are breaking things down to what really matters. People can easily scan your list for the main point. It's better for your readers and easier for you.
5. Don't write long posts. Not all of your posts should be 2000 word masterpieces. You might want to have some of those, but most people would rather read shorter 500 word pieces when reading blogs. I know that when I am reading blogs, I begin to lose interest if a piece is too long.
By applying these tips to your blog writing, you will find yourself quickly becoming more productive. Maybe you'll even have time to start another blog!
