Make Blogging More Fun !

Let's read it and change our mind; blogging can be very time-consuming and sometimes very frustrating. Now is the time to spice things up a bit and add some fun to your blog.

Here are some thoughts that make us change our mind about blogging:

There is no blog police - you can blog about what you want to blog about. Of course its best not to get too far away from your niche, but it's okay to make a variation on a topic or make controversy if that suits you, or even better, be humorous!

If your schedule is quite rigid and your blog is getting you down, throw it out the window. Remember, there is no blog police. With the relief you'll get from setting it aside, now you will have fun writing!

Challenge yourself. Yes, it can be fun if you challenge yourself with something that's related to your blog. Write one chapter for your Kindle book each day. Oh yeah, blog about it and get others involved for the fun of making it viral with their comments.

Hold a contest on your blog. People like to win prizes and it will be fun for you to give them something free, like an eBook, free training or a free subscription to your newsletter.

Lighten up on your self-imposed rigid blogging rules and you'll find your creativity and sense of fun come back.

Writing the content for your blog post is fun but can take all your attention and focus, but that's not all there is to it. Before you hit the post button, check all the areas that you missed.

Did you remember to... Review & proofread? Add your tags, maybe the most used tags? Fill in the All the SEO section? Make sure that your links work? Preview it to make sure formatting looks good? Add a featured image? Write the alt tag of the image? Check that the sharing settings are OK? Edit the sharing custom message?

Your goal is to complete your check list before you hit the post button. Figure out what you missed before your readers or they will find some of it for you.

A calendar for your blog is a great way to get organized when it comes to your blogging essays. If you've never tried one before, try it now and you'll be stunned.

1. Your blogging calendar should have a mix of information, anchor posts, promotions, case studies, interviews, guest posts, valuable stuff, etc. When you list your topics on the calendar, also note how it's going to follow (promo, case study, etc.)

2. The idea is that you should do what you have listed on your calendar.

3. Look back when at the end of the month and analyze what worked well and what didn't. You can draw conclusions based on comments, shares, sales, affiliate sales, etc.

A blogging calendar is the start, but actually doing the posts and analyzing what worked well will move your blog forward.

Keep spirit and Happy blogging !
