How to blog effectively

Here's How

1. Don't spend too much time thinking about your post.
don't re-read it 20 times and re-write it 50 times.
if you do, you get bored, then your eyes get tired, you get sleepy and you get lazy bla bla bla.
Just focus, then write your post and upload.

2. Don't spend too much time websurfing
and reading other people's blogs and envying their success.
Focus on your own
and if you have an extra time, you're free to websurf.

3. Always update your blog daily rather than weekly.
Don't try to blog about everything in 1 day.
Don't try to post as much stuff in 1 day.
It's better to do 1 post each day rather than doing 7 posts every Monday.
1 post everyday will make your blog fresh everyday, your visitors will always have something new to read, even though it's only 1 post. (If you can manage to write more, it's even better)
Just imagine yourself going to someone else's blog that's really good, but everytime you come back there, there's no new post.
Day 1, no new post,
Day 2, no new post,
Day 3, no new post.
Day 4, you don't go to that blog because you think there won't be any new post.
Day 8, you forgot about that blog.
So... it's better to do 1 post a day than 7 posts every Monday.

4. Schedule your blogging time
Why ?
Because you need to have a life !!!
Get out there, Go exercise, Go hang out with friends, etc.
So... Schedule !!
Say 2 hours of effective blogging (no websurfing) per day.
Set it up according to you.

5. Always have a little notebook / moleskin with you at all times.
So everytime you have an idea, write it down.
This is very useful when you have no idea what to write.
You'll have all this list of stuff to write and blog about.
