Friday I wrote a post about
how frustrating it can be to find time for blogging (or social media in general) when other time pressures seem overwhelming. I'm thrilled at the great responses I got, and I'd like to share a few of my favorite tips that I received from readers:
- set aside a block of time and write several blog posts at once
- keeping blogs short and breaking a topic up over several days
- Automate and schedule using tools like Tweetdeck or Hootsuite
- invite guest bloggers to contribute to the blogging
- take an occasional break, but be careful that the brand doesn't suffer
- hire someone to manage social media and/or ghostwrite blog posts
- focus on working smart rather than working hard
Thank you to everyone who commented. I appreciate the feedback, and it gave me several great ideas for ways to adjust my blogging & social media approach. More importantly, the interaction reminded me why I love blogging in the first place!
