You’re there, sitting at your desk, trying to for the eighth time today to churn something that vaguely resembles a post. Coffee doesn’t help and your Google-fu is weak today.
What’s a blogger to do?
1. Think about something else.
I know this one is easier said than done. Trying to divert your concentration to another avenue, away from the internet. If something is bothering you, then you can try to sort through what it is, to clear your mind and get vamped up for another posting session.
2. Write until you can’t write anymore.
This is in the range of blog purging. Get out MS Word and start typing. Write about your day, your dog, kids, coworkers, money, something. Anything! This will get whatever is bothering you to fall to the wayside.
3. Don’t forget to socialize!
This tip goes two ways. Socialization off and online are very important. Get out there and peruse other blogs that cover your niche. There are plenty. There are blogs about blogs, blogs about cats, and blogs about blogging about cats. Your choices are endless. The flipside on this one is that you should get out of the house and socialize with real people. In doing so, you’re able to foster real friendships. Yes, there is a whole new world out there, now crawl out of your mother’s basement and have a look for yourself.
4. Make a blogging calendar.
The first thing I do every morning is firstly, to check my email. Afterwards, I check the stats of my money making blogs to determine how much I’m earning for the month. After that, it’s all about research. You can’t have a good post about something you know nothing about. After I’ve gathered my details, I look for a picture to associate with what I am talking about. Then, post, post, post.
