When you have a goal of posting every day for a month, it can be a challenge! Make it easier with these tips:
Plan in advance for your content
Get ready for your content plan and it will be as easy as on a map. Start with a calendar for the month. Look at what you have that happening in the month. Are there holidays? Promotions or special offers that you want to share? Launch you a new product or offering a teleclass? Is there a product you want to promote as an affiliate? Block the dates that you want to be sure you are sharing the posts on a particular event or theme, and then you can see what remains to fill in other subjects.
Write a topical series
If you are launching a new program that teaches readers how to create and paint their own neon purple widgets, then plan for a week or so of positions with content centered on the subject. For example:
-Why you should create your own widgets
-What colors work best for widgets and why
-The three reasons I love purple neon for my own widgets
-How I got into painting widgets
-Five things to do with widgets, after you've painted the
By presenting a series on this topic, you are getting interested people to these widgets and making it easier to create content since you already know what you are writing about.
This works even if you do not have a launch program. Choose only a subject you know your readers interested and plan a series of posts about it. Or choose a topic you have expertise that you want to share.
If you do a series a week, just ahead with four themes. If you plan well, you can connect to these topics in a logical order and create a great series of posts for the month that will keep readers engaged and return to see what is the next step on your blog.
Write lots & schedule your messages
I love advance scheduling my blog. I write the weekend and then set my posts to appear throughout the week. In this way, I can find in this writing productive groove only once for the week rather than try to do every day. It allows also me relax during the week and focus on interaction with blog comments instead of dealing with the creation of content. And, if a situation of emergency or situation that requires my attention, I do not worry about my blog because it is already all set and publish the content on the calendar.
Bonus tip
With all the great content that you create, make sure that you get it light! Use tools like NetworkedBlogs or Facebook notes with plugins like Twitter tools to automate your social networks on your new notification messages. And take additional minutes to convert the content in podcasts, articles and other formats to share with a wider audience.
