How To Get More Time For Blogging?
You love blogging?
But, the amount of time it takes is too much and difficult to maintain it.
And, to make a blog successful really requires huge amount of time.
Thinking about the idea for a new post, then writing, editing, posting, replying to responses and follow-up. All these actually need lots of time.
In fact, I believe, if God ask bloggers for a wish, I’m sure they will wish to have infinite time in a day. Isn’t it?
But, neither God going to ask us, nor we get a chance to have a infinite time.
So, whatever time we used to have, we try to manage everything in it. And, to do something efficiently, we pay the price for it. Sacrifice the time. It could be the time with your family, time for your studies, time for your work or anything. But, if we have to blog, then we have to make sacrifices.
And, as a modern blogger, we have pool of choices to allocate the suitable resources and make the best use of it. In fact, other day, I just entered the word, “Resources for blogging” and Google provided me millions of search results.
So, what to do?
Certainly, you have to create a balance, make a balance between your life and your passion-blogging.
So, my this post is just to share some of the tips to get that balance.
- Like any other activity’s success depends on the plan. In blogging too, you have to make a comprehensive plan. A plan which clearly states your goals, your objectives, your strategies, your policies and methods. Because if you have a blueprint for your success, then you can easily focus and achieve it.
- In my earlier days of teenage, my mom used to tell me, “If you want coffee, then you should learn to make it. Because every time, I can’t be with you.” And, I learned how to make a coffee as per my taste. So, like any activity, if you want something, you have to learn to get it. Because only learning can help you to know where you lack and how can you improve. So, keep writing blog posts. If one blog post didn’t work, then other will.
- You can’t make a blog successful all alone. Because time is limited. But, what if you could have multiple hands, then you could’ve easily do many things at the same time. Isn’t it? I know we can’t get that but we can get external hands for help. I mean you can delegate your work to others who probably interested to help you. Invite guest bloggers on your blog, create a group and allocate the blog work and like this you’ll have a team who will help you to have a successful blog.
- My father used to tell me, “If business not going as per expectations, it means something is wrong. So, don’t hesitate to seek advice of others. Don’t let your ego to be a barrier for the success of business.” Same applies to blogging. If you know something not working, then you can seek the advice of others and try making changes. Something is better than nothing.
- Like, I used to have a schedule related to my work for next week at the end of week. Like this, I pre-schedule my work and meetings and like this it helps me to stay on top and finish my work on time. So, if you want your blog to stay active, pre-schedule your blog-posts. You can make a list of ideas on which you want to write in next week or month. If you’ll have idea, then it will be easier to pen down your thoughts about it.
I just have these 5 tips to share. If you apply these tips in your passion, then you can find some balance in your life and passion.
Think of your life like cooking. If you put right ingredients, dish will be yum and if wrong, then it could spoil the taste. So, to avoid wrong ingredients, keep them away and keep only those which are needed by you. Similarly, if you apply same rule to your life, then you can able to find more time for your passion- blogging.
