5 Ways toFind MoreTime toBlog
#1 Commit to aNiche
When you’re committed to a particular niche, it’s easier to write for the audience youwant to attract because you’ve already conducted extensive research on most of thetopics they’re interested in.
An added bonus is to use their evolving interests to point you toward topics youhaven’t considered. If you notice that your target buyers are looking for advice youknow nothing about, you know where to start expanding your knowledge.
#2: Limit Your TimeonDistracting SitesIf you blog for business, you spend a lot of time online. You need to be aware of
all of the emerging trends in your niche, and monitor the behavior and interests of
your target audience. You also likely frequent Reddit, Facebook, and other sites to
get inspiration for new blog articles. How often do you plan to spend only five
minutes on these sites, only to lose track of the time?
That’s why you need the Chrome plugin StayFocusd. You can use StayFocusd to
prevent you from spending too much time on distracting websites.
#3: Plan YourArticles With MindMapsWhen you find inspiration for an article, your first instinct is to sit down and write that piece assoon as possible. Wait! Once you get the initial idea for the post, you should plan the structureof your article. If you take the time to develop an outline, you’ll significantly speed up the writingstage.
You can use an online mind mapping tool such as MindMup to create your outlines. Start with aunique and captivating headline, and then make notes for your intro. Finally, consider the mainpoints you’ll cover and create subheads for each of the different paragraphs you’re going towrite.
