Are you someone like myself who is still relatively new to creating
online content, specifically blogging and looking to improve your
speed and quality?
or Have you been a blogger for a while and just struggling to be
consistent and looking for guidance to help and inspire you to get
back to blogging daily?
Well, if you said yes to any of those questions, I can totally relate
and this blog post is for you. I've just recently started blogging
and frankly, it's been taking longer than I would have thought to
get my daily blog posts done. Furthermore, I've just entered this
daily blog post challenge and so I figured to research and find a
way, a better way that I could happily meet my commitment,
particularly over the coming holiday season that is sure to have all
sorts of distractions.
So, I've done that research and implemented and or in the
process of implementing all of these tips that I will share with you.
I feel time is our most valuable asset so I thought to myself, I'm
sure there are others out there just like me who feel liking saying

"Argh...2 hours have past and I'm still not done this blog
post..freak, I've got to get this done so I can move on to the 10
thousand other things to do on my to do list :-)".
So here's what I have found that is working for me and helping me
to feel happier while I blog and stay committed to my goals. Now,
it may or may not be your style so take what works for you and
throw out whatever doesn't. I hope however, that one or two of my
tips resonates, saves you time and also improves your experience
of conquering your daily blogging goal.
1) The first and key thing- Decide!
I know this might sound cheesy and possible you have heard it
somewhere yet literally this is critical step. You have to decide that
you are going to do it "fullstop". Once you decide, you will find the
time in your day to get it done, the excuses will disappear and you
will instead focus on how and when you get what you decided to
do...DONE!
2) Create a plan

The picture says it all. To be able to blog daily, you really need to
have a plan. I find spending a little time on the Sunday to write out
a couple of topics and a schedule for my week on what and when
I will blog makes the week go so much easier.
Here are the key tips to make your
planning effective:
1)When choosing a topic, choose a topic that interests you and or
that you are passionate about. Your readers will sense your
enthusiasm in your writing plus when you are really interested or
passionate about something, you are more careful to really
produce something of value. I actually jot down ideas in a note on
my Iphone throughout the week. Then on Sunday, when I'm
planning for the week ahead, I review those notes as I plan.
2)Research and check your facts - really think about and
understand your potential readers and research what they are
interested in learning to see if there is a great cross section
between what you are passionate about and what they are

interested in reading. Google Adwords and other key word tools
are great. Also masterminding with other bloggers through groups
on Facebook or the likes is also valuable.
3)For each topic, write out an intention and a basic outline. What
is your intention in writing a blog on this topic and given this
intention what are the key points that you want to share. Generally
an outline should have an introduction, supporting points and a
conclusion
4)Choose an attention grabbing headline- consider the keywords
you want to include in your heading. I find including a benefit in
the headline, ie what the reader is going to get from reading your
blog post, is very valuable.
5)Look at your daily calendar and book appointments with yourself
when you will be writing your blogs. Have you ever heard that
saying, "What get's scheduled, get's done!"? Well, it's true, when
you look ahead and actually set aside time daily to get what you
need done, then you are much more likely to get it completed.
Okay, now you have planned, time to
EXECUTE. Here's whats working for me
1)Keep to your schedule! If you set a schedule keep to it unless
something drastic happens then ensure to reschedule within that
same day so the task gets done. Decide and commit to honouring
your word and getting your blog post done.
2)When you are writing, focus! Turn off all other distractions. Turn
your phone off. Maximize the one window on your screen and
start writing.

3)Don't try to make your first copy perfect, get your ideas down
first and then go through, read and edit. Sometimes even just
putting a few sentences under each point works well. Then focus
on the ones that you can really flesh out first, coming back to
those hard ones last. Possibly doing some research and then
fleshing those out at the same time, works really well for me.
4) Try to keep your sentences and paragraphs short. It has been
shown that people tend to scan through articles and if there are
paragraphs more than 8 lines long, they may refrain from reading
them so get in the habit of keeping your paragraphs 8 lines or
under. I'm still working on keeping my sentences short :-).
5) Time yourself. You know that saying "time is money"? Well, I
disagree, time is not money, time is everything. So valuable so
really be conscious of your time. I literally now time myself and if I
find one piece of my blog is taking me way too long to complete. I
ask myself to get really clear on a)does this really need to be
included? NO: Delete, YES: What are the top two points that I
want to share? Okay, get those down and then move on.

Specifically in timing myself, estimate how much time you want to
invest in the post. Some will take longer than others. Subtract the
last 15 to 20 mins off the total allocated time. Set your timer for
the reduced time and then the other15 to 20 mins to reread, check
grammer, add pictures and clean up the blog.
6)Recognize and accept that it's not going to be perfect. It's only
with practice we get better so allow yourself to get the practice
and accept that even after several blog posts there will still be
ways that you can improve. Life is journey not a destination.
7) Use that 15-20 mins after the fact to check grammar, re read
your blog post aloud and add pictures and highlight or bold words
or phrases as needed. Adding pictures makes a blog post more
visually appealling and easier to read. It can also emphasize a
point, making it memorable to your reader.
8)Lastly: Publish the blog! Hit go at the end and get your blog post
visible. If you are a "perfectionist" this may be tough and you may
have to set aside time to come back in a couple of days and
review and do some other corrections or changes yet I feel it's
much better to have the content available for people to benefit
from especially when you are just starting off and not getting much
views. The practice of writing a different daily blog is much more
valuable than refining and perfecting one blog.
Some other tips that will help your blog to
stand out and really deliver value to your
readers.

1) Tell your story! Everyone has a story and people like to read
people's post who are genuine and honestly sharing their story.
Don't hide your story and don't try to be something that you are
not. Write from where you are.
2)Share how you feel! When you share your feelings in a blog post,
you are connecting with your readers at a different level so go
there. So when you share your story, share how you were feeling
or when you are doing a blog post about a particular subject you
are passionate say why. Maybe it was because of an incident in
your childhood that you remember with joy or conversing a painful
experience that made this topic very important for you to share to
help others avoid that pain.
3) Mix up the length of your posts. Have several topics available
from you list some that are length and some that are short so on
those days that really go awary. You can pick a blog topic that will
be a short blog and still get it done. Regardless of what length
your post is always focus on informing, inspiring and interacting
with your reader.
4)Finally, how to or list posts are very popular. People love to learn
how to do something or get a top X number list of things to review.
