New Blogger Talk And Tips

A lot of things can,have and will be said about blogging.There are a lot of blogs out there with tips and all other things related to blogging.Do this,do that,don't do this,don't do that.Do it like this,not like that,be like this,don't be like that.Use this,don't use that.In the end it is all up to you to decide because after all it is your blog,you decide what it is going to be,what it will be like.

With all the tips available,not much can be written that someone else have not write about,only the way it was presented can be different,and how many people read it.Maybe what you read here you have read somewhere else,maybe it is coincidence.

But of all the tips and things related to blogging,I wanted to share this things that I hope we all can remember no matter where we are now with our blog.

No..I'm not giving up blogging,I love blogging and I believe most of you are like me,we just love blogging because it gave us satisfaction.But sometimes,someday we just don't feel like doing it,I mean posting to our blog.It is not because the lack of ideas,being bored or not having enough time,but as human we can't escape from problems and this problems can have major effect on our blogging life.

These problems varied from personal problems like family issues,relationship issues.Health can also create problems,not feeling well will keep you in bed and I guess it can even effect your thinking and creativity to come out with a post.Financial problems can led to personal and health problems and can certainly jeopardize your blogging ways.

I have the combination of personal,health and financial problems now.I'm not feeling very well since the weather here is quite hot and windy and it cause some people to go down with fever,sore throat,flu and coughing.But I try not to let all this problems have any effect on my blogging life,but how do I do it?Well one thing that I have to say is that you have to have strong will power and since I love blogging and I didn't feel it is a chore,I can work myself up to keep on creating and making a post but still strong will power is not just enough.

You must have a clear goal and I have set my goal when I first started blogging,so I have a schedule that I hope will help me achieve my goals.I work within my schedule no matter how my condition are,I push myself to follow that schedule so I will be doing the things I was suppose to do.It is a bit hard,that I agree,but knowing there are things need to be done are enough to keep me out of just lying there on my bed.

You just can't let one thing from stopping you to do other things.I know that my health are important,but after taking my medicine,I do my work and later I can get my rest,there are certain things from my schedule that I can skip and maybe do it later or tomorrow,but things related to making a post must be done,it is a priority.

One more thing got me thinking during this period.Passion.It is what keep me going on and I'm lucky because I choose something that I love to do,something I'm passionate about and it is the passion that keep me going,keeping me strong.When you face difficult situation,then you will know what is the real reason you are doing it,if it is not something that you are passionate about,even one small obstacle will get you demoralized,but if it is something that you really want to do,really love,really passionate about,you can conquer it even a mountain or sea lies in your way.

As human we are made to be different but there are somethings that apply to everybody no matter who they are,and love is certainly one of it,it knows no boundaries and we all know what people can do out of love.

While we concentrate on generating traffic to our blog,considering what to post to it,there are certain things that we sometime overlook that can be as important as getting traffic,getting exposed.

It might look simple,but it can certainly make a big difference to our blog.

These are just simple things but try not to overlook it because it can bring significant changes to how your blog will perform.Remember,there are a lot of other blogs out there all trying to get the attention you also want,being different and being one step ahead can help you compete and gaining the advantage.

You have already make a choice when you decide to blog.There are so many reasons why someone starts a blog but to me,it all ends up into this 4 categories.

In which category do you fall into?If you ask me,I want to be all 4 of it,because if I am well known or popular,I will surely get a lot of readers who will subscribe to my feeds and become my followers and this will make me an authority figure in the niche I choose and since to monetize your blog you need traffic,and I have have lots of it,I surely can monetize my blog.

I wish it is that simple,but the truth is,blogging is a very long journey if you really set those things as your goals.It is not just a long journey but also full of obstacles and hurdles that you have to carefully manoeuvre so you won't get stuck among the obstacles and fall while attempting to clear the hurdles.Most blogger are afraid or not ready to go by this path yet they want to achieve those goals,so what did they do,they choose an easier path or maybe a short cut.Why bother taking the longer route that you don't even know if you will reach your destination if there are other simpler and shorter routes.

There is nothing wrong in choosing other path because there are a lot of path to choose from and the choice is all yours,nobody will stop you in choosing your own path because you decide your own destiny.It is easy for all those A-List blogger to say this and that because they are already there,we are the one who are just starting the journey and at the time when those A-List blogger start theirs,they don't have as many choices and path as we now have,so how would they know.

They know because they have gone through what we just started to experience,they don't have the luxury that we have know when they start blogging but still they have to make a choice which path they want to use.Maybe you don't want the 3 things,you just want to make money,sure you can make money with your blog,it is easier now with ads,GPT,reviews,affiliate programs.

Some blogger choose the above path so they can make money with their blog,but for how long?Why just aim to make money and I don't think you will be rich by resorting to those methods.Why not choose the correct path,it is much longer and harder,but if you can reach the end,not only you will earn good money,you become popular and most importantly,you gain respect.

So which path do you plan to choose?

There comes a time in your life,when you just suddenly feel you don't want to do anything.You don't want to go to school,not because you are ill,but just because you don't feel like going,same goes when you are in your working age,you feel tired,not motivated to go to work,even though there are tons of work that you need to finish up at the office.

I sometimes feel this way about blogging,especially lately,it is not just about blogging,it is just a time in my life that I just don't want to do anything,not everything,but mostly things that need your mind and body to work.In a simple word,I just feel lazy!



For fulltime blogger like me,time is not such a big problem,but sometimes it does,not because of not having enough time to write a post,but more about finding the right time to write it.But for part-time blogger,time can posed a big problem.So how do we solve this time problem since we cannot do anything to change the 24 hours a day that we have.

Time management.

I think this is the best solution.We have 24 hours,so work it out to our benefit no matter if we blog full or part-time.I believe if we manage our time properly,we can do all the task that we need to do,blogging or non blogging related,attend to other things in our life and as a bonus,we can even have some time for a nap!

To manage our time,we must have a schedule.List out what are the things that need to be done daily after we woke up,to the time we go back to sleep,no matter if you have a job or spend all day at home like me.Through this schedule,set a time to make your blog post,but remember,there is no point in having a schedule if you do not stick to it.Try it for a few days,make changes until you find one that really suits you and stick to it.Doing things routinely everyday will create a habit,a good one and will benefit you and your life.

Always have a pen and notebook close to you,not only to write points for your post,but with every free time you have,write and edit your post,so when you want to make your post,just type it in,without having to think while you type,you can easily finish your post in 15 to 20 minutes,giving you time to do other things.

Look for ways that will make your life easier,like subscribing to certain site you like for information,so instead of spending time looking for it,you can open your reader and get the feeds there,or subscribing through emails.If you have extra time and with a few post in your notebook,type all of it and schedule it for the next 2 or 3 days,so on that day you don't have to think about making a post,instead you can do research,or just enjoy a break by going out.

If you are serious about blogging and finding it hard to make time to make a post,you really should have a daily schedule and include posting to your blog in it.

As for me,feeling lazy is just something you feel inside,once you get over it,everything return to normal.It is something that you have to fight,or maybe it is time to take a break?

Here is something that I believe we all should look at and maybe try for the benefits of our blog and also for ourselves.

Do you have anything to add through your own experience that we all can share?Please leave a comment if you do.

One of the biggest problems that a blogger face is in updating the blog with fresh new material regularly.It won't be that difficult for personal blogs since anything can be written to be added to the blog,but what about niche blogs,something like mine.

I do find it difficult to write and update my blog regularly when I first start blogging,but I hope with this method that I use now,it can help me overcome it and maybe you can use it too if you find it helpful.

It is not a guarantee that you will not face anymore problems when you want to make a post,but I'm sure it will help a lot,especially when you want to take a leave for a holiday,vacation.You don't have to leave your blog without any new post for that period because you can schedule it and by having points to write in your notebook and from a lot of resources,you can easily make 5 to 6 schedule post while you enjoy your holiday or vacation.I sometimes schedule 1 to 2 post so that I can do something else without having to worry about not making a post.
