Time Management Tips to Stay on Track Blogging
I know what you’re going to say: you don’t have time to create a blog and do everything else in your business.
I’ve done it too, even though I write full time and enjoy it. Sometimes it is hardest to do it for yourself.
These tips and tricks can help you carve out a little extra time to create blogs for your websites. Let’s take a closer look.
Add It to Your Calendar
When creating my content, the biggest mistake was not treating my blog like my client’s work. I put off my writing and told myself I would get to it when I had time. But, of course, I never made the time. Adding it to my planner helps me stay on track and committed to creating my content. Plus, I can spread the work, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming when I’m handling other projects. Â
Make a Monthly Content Plan
Don’t wing it. That’s the surefire way to put off writing. I work with my client to put together a monthly blogging plan. This isn’t just important for time management; it’s also the best way to ensure that you’re creating the right content at the right time and planning for your SEO.
Start with an Outline
Here’s are some time management tips and tricks to make blog writing easier. Create a framework and fill in the gaps. I begin by writing an intro paragraph. Then I decide what each of the subheadings should be. I may have to do some research for this part, but I can add any links I find to the bottom of my page, so they’re easier to click on when I’m writing the content itself. Then, when I come back to it, I just need to fill in the paragraphs.
Pick a Regular Day for Posting
Blogging is about consistency, so picking the right day of the week is also essential. Mondays are busy days as people return to the office after the weekend. By Friday, people have checked out and are less likely to read blog posts. Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday are good times to target.
Outsource Your Blogging
The truth is, I love to write. Even if I have to force myself to do it for my blog, I still love it. So as long as I take it in small chunks, I can achieve my goals. But it’s okay if you’re not a writer or you don’t love to write. There are people out there, people like me, who can do exactly this but for you. At DPEG Marketing Company, we take the time to learn who you are to understand your voice.
