Update your blog quickly when no time

20 Jun 2009

Every blogger has his calendar days, where we have no time to stop to write a decent or new content. Let’s surprise those hours of boredom blogger with nothing that is too much work. You may not have time, but still keep your blog updated, just follow the tips! Use them with abundance and have free time on weekends or holidays.

A few days without posting may get a blogger unprepared, and is much easier to give in those moments when we overcome something ready for when that happens:

ARTICLES READY

Those articles that have been prepared (or should have been prepared) for you in moments of spare time. They should be atemporais articles (those that need not be written at the right time, as a story).

It is the fastest way to update a blog when we do not have time because we spend no more than 5 minutes to send the article.

LIST OF LINKS

This format of articles may also be “saved” because you can store links to find interesting and send them all together in a moment found. But generally the links may be outdated when needed. This is the time to have a feed reader and updated and give it to find interesting links.

I have seen this format of “article found” in some blogs and liked, as they leave the content of the day to see ships, and those moments can meet some new and good blogs. Therefore, its readers have a lot to read while you’re away.

INDICATION OF PAPER OR E-BOOK

If you read an interesting book, you can tell them to their readers, especially when you know you will be out of the keyboard for more than a week. Write a little (or big) review of this book or e-book that will awaken and read-in visitor.

Explain that your time runs short, but you do not want them to feel hampered by the lack of new articles in your blog, so you are telling this great book to read.

ON DRAFT DAY

Among all the ideas to circumvent the time, I am especially adept to this. Be well prepared and a draft updated with ideas for articles. I have a Word document itself to this, where I write short paragraphs or topics that give me an idea ready for a new article soon. You could then develop the idea and launch it.

Perhaps the only problem that I use this tip is still spent much time writing, I always try to bring that content to your readers super original, but I do not care about it (even though they are running against time, lately).

QUICK TOPICS

Are almost a list of links improved. In this format an article, you have a link for each topic presented, but instead of just posting the external content, you enter with a hint of this supplement.

You can organize a key content of the article and, while writing a short paragraph, insert a link complement. Or just give the traditional list of links, but writing a little on the subject of the linked page. This may increase the credibility of the article and still you do not spend much time in the process.

LIST OF BLOGS TO VISIT

It’s like a “blogroll” and like a list of links, but actually shows you other blog readers to visit, especially with the content similar to yours. As a blogger, you certainly have great examples of blogs related to your guardadinhos in their feeds. Show a handful of their players and save a great time with it.

THE PROGRAMS

In Wordpress, you can easily plan their articles to be launched in time you want. With this, you can take real vacations and continue with your blog atualizadíssimo, even without touching the administrative panel.

As the holidays are coming (at least for students) you can now start to write at least 7 original articles, and when traveling to enjoy the rest, set one for each day. Thus, you will have a full week of rest, even away from your blog.

I still want to test the power of this tool: is when I travel, I’m thinking of preparing some articles here to run automatically.

The good thing is that after these days of rest, the mind can come back with clean (or full of ideas), ready to begin the hard work.

Additional Tip: Never leave your blog with articles by more than a week. Your visits and you will fall very nearly forgotten, especially in the web feed reader. Pass on occasion to give a hi, and use one of the tips mentioned above to break the monotony and scare the flies that hover over your blog in those moments.
