Blogging for money part 2: frequent posting

Frequent blog posting is something that needs to happen if your blog is going to hit success. Remember that success is always synonymous with difficulty, but can be achieved with a good rational, and much determination. If followed literally, these five tips will help you retain a frequent posting status, when will ultimately secure a frequent earning status. 

1. Understanding your commitment

When you're considering blogging for money, it is important to understand the commitment you are undertaking. This is because many people who blog for a living, actually spend more time blogging than they would for a real job. If you want consistent earning, you need to give your time up consistently. One way you can do this is by setting a time quota like, "I will blog for 2 hours every day".

Value persistency to you commitment, rather than quantity of blog posts or the amount of success your blog receives. A flaw is rarely found in the commitment itself, but more than often found in the resolve to follow the commitment.  

2. Understanding your competition's commitment

The majority of bloggers don't make any money whatsoever. Although many of them don't set out to make money, they all out to gain readers. And guess what? The more bloggers that are out there, the less those readers become available.

Do a simple search on Google and examine a few related high ranked blogs. You might mind that their commitment far outweighs yours. If this is true, you might want to consider blogging in a different niche. 

3. Train yourself to blog constantly

It takes an incredible amount of discipline to force yourself to blog more than once a day. and it is very time consuming. Blogging for money is pretty much equivalent to being your own boss, and there aren't many people out there who can boast that they ayr self-employed, are there? This is because of the fact that it requires an incredible amount of discipline . You need to train yourself to keep a consistent blogging schedule, and you need to stick-to-it if you want to maintain an audience.

4. Avoid 'blogging guilt'

Not only do we sometimes not feel like blogging, but we simply don't have the time to. Sometimes, school,kids,social life get in the way of blogging life and that is to be expected/ Surprisingly, blog experts say that the best thing to do is avoid being guilty about your lack of post because the guilt that is associated from this is in fact, anti-productive.

Many times, Bloggers, and all writers alike, enter into a form of writer's paralysis when they fret over their lack of productivity. It's kind of like trying to exercise again after not doing it for a while or having negative thoughts about it.   

5. Blog when you're not blogging 

A useful piece of advice I've been given on several accounts by experienced bloggers is to blog when you're blogging. This means to create an archive in your head of things you want to blog about. When something unusual happens to you, or you have an interesting thought, make a mental note to blog about it later.

If you're the kind of person that is forgetful, bring a notepad around with you; jot down ideas, and possible headlines for your blog posts. You don't need to write any paragraphs or even sentence, you just need to create an outline. The more you use this method, the better you will become at it. At one point you should be able to create an entire blog post around a single headline without having to look at outsides sources. You have a brain, and there's more information in there than a multitude of books. Tapping that information is just a matter of patience and persistency.
