This week I was asked a question which I decided was so important that I should post it. I do not actually know who asked this question, so if you are the person that asked please comment.
I have been posting everyday but am quickly writing worse and worse posts. The quality keeps going downhill.. am I doing something wrong? You do not post to CowBlogger everyday, why is this?
This is actually a question that I remember asking in the past, but no one answered. So this time I am going to make sure it is answered and hopefully many people get to read it.
Firstly, to write on a blog you need to know what you are talking about. So if your new to the blogging industry, or even more so the niche that you are talking about, then naturally you will have less experience to talk about. It is a problem that most people find when they start their first blog, I know I certainly struggled a lot. Which is good. Yes you heard me right, struggling is very good as it does improve your experiences and your learning.
What is even better is that I can give you tips from my experience which may prevent you from going through it too.
- Write a post everyday, post every other - Well this is not always true but it does help. If you write a post everyday it will start to drastically improve your writing skills. The problem is, you will find with that is you will soon run out of ideas which is why I said to post every other day. Another good reason for writing everyday but posting every other is that it will help you learn how to stockpile.
- Stockpiling - Every blogger that ever existed had days where he or she had a total mind freeze. This is where stockpiling is most useful as you can just use an old post instead of writing a new one. If you need help with stockpiling then read Shannon’s post about it, Stockpiling For Bloggers Block it helped me a lot! Stockpiling is also the best thing to do for going on holiday, as you can use the posts from the stockpile and set them on a sceduled timer.
- The Big Post - Well I am sure you have written a fair few posts which just are not good enough or long enough to post? I often have this problem, so what I have done in the past and also have planned for this blog is to have one post every week or month just filled with all the posts I have done in that time which were not good enough for their own posts. It works.
- The List Of Remembrance - Everyone tends to come up with ideas for blog posts when they are no where near their computer and often forget by the time they are. Believe it or not, many people find that they come up with their best ideas when their on the toilet. It is very strange how this works, but it does, so having a writing pad with you at all times helps to get those amazing ideas. I find it also happens while i am dreaming, and I forget it by the time I wake up!
Hopefully this will help you in the future and further your blogging knowledge. I believe this tips are very useful, and the first two especially are the key to successful blogging.
