How To Increase Your Blogging Productivity

Posted on May 18th, 2007 in Blogging by Scott

We All Wish We Had More Time To Get Stuff Done, Make The Most Of What You Have

  1. Use The Best Tools - In order to be really successful, you need to have the right tools at your disposal.  You have to stop thinking poor and start making investments in the right products which will help you build your brand and your business.  Instead of “making do” with a lesser tool, put a value on your time and figure out how much the better piece of software will save your over the next year.  Is it a good investment?  Then you should buy it
  2. Break Up Your Time - No one part of blogging is more importantthan all the rest.  It is essential that a blogger write content, make connections with other bloggers, link build, work on his site, etc.  In order to make sure that you get them all done, you have to set a time limit for each.  If task starts to dominate the others time, you have to cut it off and move on.
  3. Just Start Typing - One of the hardest and most time consuming parts about blogging is sitting down at the computer and deciding what you are going to write.  The way that you can deal with it is instead of worrying over what to write just start typing.  If you get to the bottom of the post and find that you don’t like what you wrote, you can always save as a draft and come back to it later.  Chances are, once you start typing, you will find something to write about
  4. Take a Break - If you are at your computer and can’t get anything done, take a break and go do something else that is on your list.  That will allow your mind to rest and make you more productive when you get back.  As an added bonus you’ll be able to work longer as you’ll have crossed other things off your to do list.
  5. Prioritize Your Tasks - Make a list of the most important things you have to get done at the beginning of each week.  If your list includes writing 1 article each day, try to sit down and write all 7 in one sitting.  You will then be done with the most important task for the week.   If you find you continually don’t have time for the least important things on your list, try outsourcing them.  There are many people who are willing to write content for you or redesign your site at very reasonable rates.
