Posted by silkenhut in Tips for Bloggers |
There are times where you feel your creative juices are flowing and you are filled with ideas. Each of these ideas can be converted into blog entries! Due to this, you now have lots of potential blog entries to share to your readers. You plan to write them all down and publish them on the same day. I suggest you refrain from doing this. Do not be a millionaire in one day and risk being poor the next day.
I have three reasons why you should not do this.
So in conclusion, just take your time in writing your entries. Blogging is not a race that the one who posts the most entries in one day wins. If you feel that your creative juices are overflowing today, be thankful and don’t waste the opportunity. Save up on all those ideas and unleash them one at a time in the future. It will be worth it and your readers will like it.
PS: This post was made because today I feel like I can post a lot of things (ohhh the blogging adrenaline rush!!!) but I’m glad I have self control. It even gave me an idea for a blog entry. hehe ^_^

1I am guilty of these.. there are times that I would post 4 or 5 entries in one seating… But that’s ok, aside from i have few (or no) readers, all those posts are not applicable for anybody anyway.
But you do have point here…

2I’d rather write them while I’m still in the moment as opposed to clutching the straws later on.
Here’s my take:
Write your fix of 4-5 articles and just pre-program your blogging client to publish them in one day increments.

5as much as possible, i only write one a day and my posts for the whole week are lined up for publishing. at the moment i post twice a day because i’ve got a huge backlog from july. i’ve posted up to four entries in a day, but that’s because i really couldn’t help it!

7@Elizar - I’m sad to know about your mindset in blogging. You should also think about your readers. You just don’t know it but you do have readers who appreciate your works. ^_^
Thanks for the comments everyone. I’m glad you liked the post. (or even if I’m just assuming that you liked it)

8Although this is a very helpful advise (because I’m very much guilty of this), some blogs really have to post a lot on a single day. Examples of which are entertainment blogs like TMZ and DListed.

Hmm I see. You have a point. However, those kind of blogs usually do not write their own content. Correct me if I’m wrong but they just paraphrase news from other websites and link back to their sources.

Not necessarily. If you check out TMZ, for instance, most of their reports are actual first-hand accounts (even some news agencies refer to their site). Other entertainment site provide TV updates and even uploading their own recordings.

I see. It will depend on the niche of the blog I guess. Entertainment and news blogs have a lot of topics to cover everyday. And is it safe to assume that the content of TMZ is not written by only one person but a group of persons? ^_^

9Hmm.. I used to do the multiple post thingee before but the readers are not really reading the “older” post, though they are just written on the same day as the top article. Publishing an article every 2 days works for me, since it gave more time for readers to cope up with my posts.
Minsan kasi pag pumunta ka sa isang blog, tapos sobrang daming entry, nakaka-lula rin naman.. ^_^;

11I completely agree with this. Sometimes I get some momentum and post too much at once and need to remind myself to space it out. Good advice.
