3 Ways To Get Back In The Blogging Spirit
I have been kind of Blah about blogging recently. Not exactly burnt out, but not as gung ho as I was when I first started out. But a couple of things have made me get more excited about blogging and ready to get back in the game
1) Make Some Money - Although it probably counts for very little to many bloggers, I recently go some clicks on a few of my Adsense ads netting a few dollars. Does a few dollars matter? Not really. But any income is nice to have and making a little bit of money can go a long way to raising my spirits
2) Read my Feed Backlog - I am about 3 weeks overdue on most of my feeds. Those were the same 3 weeks that I was feeling blah about blogging. And you know what? After getting back into my feeds and reading some of my favorite blogs I am starting to get more excited again. Are you feeling blah? Go back to why you started in the first place
3) Get Some Traffic - I have had a couple of traffic spikes over the past couple of days. Thank you stumbleupon. Getting some traffic and responding to comments really invigorates you. It helps me blog when I know someone is reading it and benefiting.
This post was written for Daily Blog Tips “3″ Group writing project. While I don’t think it will net me the prize money, how bout some links?
Have you ever hit a blogging slump? What got you out of it?
on July 5th, 2007 at 3:41 am
Oh yes….
I think you just have to accept that it happens, don’t get too downhearted or do anything rash like give up or delete the blog as I’ve seen people do.
I just accepted that somedays I wasn’t in the mood to post so I didn’t. The sky didn’t fall in, so I just came back another day and got on with it.
on July 5th, 2007 at 11:50 pm
I think that that is a good philosohpy Chris. It isn’t the end of the world if you miss a day. And if you do it so much that you aren’t having fun anymore you’ll just get burnt out and do it less in the future
on July 9th, 2007 at 5:20 am
I think when you are really excited, you should make a whole bunch of posts, but not necessarily post them immediately. Let some sit for when you have those ‘blah’ times. They really come in handy.

Genesis,
Starting a new blog can be great if you have a partner as well. Then you can rotate who is working on which blog so that you don’t get burnt out on a specific topic

Guys,
It is necessary to put sitemap to a website? When Google bot is crawling our pages automatically.
on January 23rd, 2009 at 9:36 am
Thanks for the post, Scott.
Raj, putting a sitemap on your site will help google find all of your pages faster.
But if you don’t, google will still find your pages eventually

There really isn’t any ’special’ blogging site that is just going to provide readers or subscribers. I’ve had wonderful luck with both blogger and wordpress. But I have also taken the time to promote every single blog I have created.
on December 22nd, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Perhaps you should read your own tips and come back to this abandoned blog that is just sitting here doing nothing but collecting comments.

Making money is definitely one of the most inspiring things, but there’s a certain cut off point that it no longer inspires, so its always gotta increase to keep inspiring you! But really.. in reality its all about finding what it is that makes you go.
on May 20th, 2010 at 4:36 am
To addon to my previous comment… you should come back and blog some more
on May 25th, 2010 at 1:08 pm

Great tips here! I have had trouble recovering from a vacation or a blogging hiatus in the past. I will definitely refer to these tips if that every happens again.

I think planning is the number one thing to do. It is always hard to get back into anything after a vacation but if you plan it out in your head it shouldn’t be a problem.
on September 16th, 2010 at 11:55 am
Google tries hard to index and show pages with distinct information. This filtering means, for instance, that if your site has a “regular” and “printer” version of each article…..
on September 22nd, 2010 at 7:03 am
this is absolutely true.. i need to get back to the times when I was so in loved in blogging and find joy in doing this.
thanks
on October 26th, 2010 at 7:47 am
Sometimes it can be hard to find the motivation. Just do something else that you enjoy for a while and you will once again be energized to do this properly.
on January 3rd, 2011 at 5:51 am
I agree, anything can get tiresome after awhile. Then it’s best to take some time off and relax. Do something fun and enjoyable to recharge your spirit. And then get back into it with a fresh outlook.

Sometimes, taking a little break and energizing yourself is the best way to get back into the spirit of things and it is the same with blogging. I have found it to work wonders for me whenever I felt like I had been doing it too much.
on September 30th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
I just got through a slightly spirited discussion with a friend of mine who was staunchly defending the new profiles page. Their argument was that since yahoo is rolling out a new blogging site, and agreeably, 360 was severely inferior for blogging, that everything was just smurfy.
on October 1st, 2011 at 6:47 am
do not let your spirit of blogging go away in any risk, unless you really want to quit this is not an easy to return.

Just open an account at blogger and click on “create post”. Its easy to figure everything out once you have an account. it doesnt really require a course or tutorial, its really easy stuff. Just give it a try. Take a look at the blog below, you can set it up like that, just by choosing a template and creating posts send me a message if you need help with anything specific, but I dont have a full guide or anything.
