Writing a post in 5 minutes

Posted on June 1st, 2007 in Uncategorized by Scott

Some bloggers complain that they never have time to blog.  They can’t put enough content up, they simply don’t have time.

Blogging doesn’t need to take a lot of time!  Just sit down and write.  If you want to, you can probably write a post worth reading in less than 5 minutes.  

This post is a test of what you can do in 5 minutes time.  In another 3.5 minutes I’ll be leaving for a birthday party, what can I get done?

Tips on things you can do in 5 minutes

  1. Moderate your comments - Comments can always be overflowing, take the next 5 minutes to delete spam and respond to the good ones
  2. Read your feeds - If you are behind in your feeds, you can catch up and pick out some juicy articles to read in more depth later
  3. Make a list - Want to write an article?  The best thing to focus on is a list.  You can keep going, and then stop whenever you run out of time
  4. Comment on blogs - Get some traffic and join the blogging community.  Start commenting on other blogs.  Hopefully they will respond in kind
  5. Digg your Posts - Digging doesn’t take long, and can drive a lot of traffic.  In 5 minutes time you can Digg, stumble, or both 3 or 4 posts.  Give it a try

 Well I’m running out of time.  I know that wasn’t the best post I’ve ever written, but I didn’t have much time.  And if you don’t either, give a quick 5 minute post a try, you may be surprised at the results.
