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?

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.

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

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.

I know what you mean, I´ve hit a bit of a rut lately as well. I find that starting a new blog is actually a great way to get going again! It´s inspiring to be able to write about a new topic.

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
