Sensible Posting - Writing for the Future

by

Intro - - Welcome, this is part two of the multi-part series The Bloggers Guide to Time Saving Techniques. This series covers the ever important topic of time management and how it directly relates to your success as a blogger. I will be covering some key issues many bloggers, myself included, have battled with in the past and how you can overcome them with a few simple tricks to managing your time more efficiently.

Posting or writing is without a doubt the single most important role of any blogger, its your job description. Unfortunately, it is also tends to be the most time consuming and because of this many bloggers’ articles often suffer or fall second place to marketing, designing, responding and several other daily tasks. Regardless of your schedule, your writing can’ t suffer. Articles are the foundation of every blog, they are what draw in your readers and build your popularity, pushing these to second or even third place is essentially committing blogicide. Just don’t do it!

But what if you can keep the great content rolling and manage to save time doing it? Do you know that many people are completely unfamiliar with the TimeStamp feature in WordPress. Are you one of them?

TimeSaver #1

With the TimeStamp feature you have the ability to set a new post to publish a day, week or month into the future, whatever you want. If used properly this can be a huge time saver for publishing your posts. Rather than spending seven days a week writing an article, you could potentially spend one day a week writing seven articles and then set them to publish each day of the week, essentially freeing up six days for other important activities. This of course does not include the occasional breaking news story, but I am sure with all of the free time you just gaine, you could spend an evening writing that.

TimeSaver #2

Now, I know some of you enjoy writing daily so the last thought may not be of interest to you. If this is the case, maybe you should pick one day of the week to write say three articles. Publish one article for the day and save the others as drafts. Why? Backups, lets say you wrote and saved two extra articles on Saturday, Wednesday you found some great brewing pot of ideas you are dying to research. Instead of falling behind, or not publishing an article or even writing a non thought out poorly written masterpiece, you can a couple of minutes, open up your admin panel select a pre-written article and hit publish, your done. So in less than two minutes you have managed to entertain your readers, keep your blog rolling and get back to your research, now thats good time management.

TimeSaver #3

Mix em’ up. What if you spent two days a week writing five articles a day? You would then be publishing one article a day with three extras per week. In less than a month you would have enough extra articles to fill an entire week which in turn means you can take vacation, work on setting up a new blog or marketing, advertising and such. Thats sounds good to me!

With these three simple steps for writing you can gain more time to handle your day to day tasks while at the same time creating great, regularly posted content your readers will enjoy for years to come. Do you manage your time effectively? Help others by sharing your methods in the comments below.

    Hi there,
    finally a breath of fresh air here. I was hoping someone here can point me in the right direction of some kind of good quality live development, motivational seminar? The ones I have seen are just way to expensive, so maybe you have some alternative suggestions. Thanks

    I’ve got an Amazon gift certificate burning holes in my pocket,
    and I want to get the most bang for my buck.

    Enter the Secret Amazon Web Pages:

    http://tinyurl.com/38sojf

    This is where you’re going to find the “latest sales, rebates, and limited-time offers” from
    Amazon, and you can score some pretty deep discounts if you’re a savvy shopper.

    Next, there’s the special Sale link. This is open every Friday, and ONLY on Fridays.

    You can find the same good discounts here as you would in hidden Deals, although some
    Fridays you can really get lucky and make off like an Amazon bandit - I’ve seen discounts
    there as low as 75% off sticker price.

    The beautiful Claudia Schiffer enjoying a casual day out with her daughter Clementine. Claudia is currently living in London with her little Clementine and director hubby Matthew Vaughn. Claudia is a born supermodel which unfortunately means for the rest of us she is naturally beautiful, and there is little that we can do to come close to matching her flawlessness. However, here she is wearing her long blonde locks loose and free for a casual day out with her daughter. This looks is very retro, making it contemporary this year, and if you have long locks you can achieve this look very easily. It simply takes a little straightening pomade on washed hair, and then a blow dry with a flat paddle brush. If you d like to sleek the lines a little more, use your flat iron for some finishing touches. The end result is sleek, straight hair that requires little to no maintenance throughout the day. If you find some frizzies starting as the day progresses, run some moisturizer on your hands and run it through your hair t
    o smooth things out.
    Welcome to the Hairstyles Top. Here you will find the latest top hair style pictures, and advice for new hairstyles: long hairstyles, formal hairstyles, black hairstyles and layered hairstyles, etc. Lots of celebrity haircuts.
