Every blogger dreams of a Blogger’s Shangri-La where they will just have to click the buttons of the keywords and will produce the masterpieces in their niches that will have bafflingly large readers and followers and the creation of such a stunning blog post will take no more than 15 minutes! Now that sounds a little too lofty! However, one can surely work a bit smarter to have a slick and smart blog offering useful and attractive content prepared in comparatively less time than usual.
Here are 5 tried and proven tips that will help you become a smart blogger producing creatively rich and useful content in a really smart way taking lesser time than usual:
1. Create a treasure house of Good Ideas
Now this is one of the most crushing parts of being a writer, you want to write but feel that your ideas have ceased to flow. This may even be called as writers’ block that simply freezes your brain and you fail to think any further. But by the by, where do the ideas come from? You get ideas by reading books, magazines, newspaper, even while listening to your favorite music or watching a sitcom, you never know when and wherefrom you get an idea. But the trouble is they are always fleeting away. So simply jot them down in a notebook or save them on your computer. So that when you finally sit to write you don’t feel that you don’t have a good idea to start with.
2. Create Posts in Bunches
Well blogging isn’t just typing out your mind; it includes the execution of several other technical stuffs also. So you have to think of eye catchy headlines, search suitable photos, upload them, add the title tags, and lot more. So, the moment you know that you have found out the most appropriate stuffs, complete all the technical part of the post even before you have actually written the content of the post.
This way you can complete up the searching and uploading part of the posts that you are going to publish in next few days in bunches instead of one by one at one time, this will save a lot of your time. And even if you aren’t sure about what you are going to write, at least save the photos, or videos, podcasts, or whatever you think can be used later on.
3. Write in Advance
So you have a deadline that’s almost killing you and not a fleck of inspiration to pen down a word what to do in such really oppressive moments apart from feeling those butterflies in your stomach? Well, to avoid such difficult times, the only thing you can do is write in advance, especially when you are going through the most creative moments or have dozens of ideas flashing in your mind. In other words, when you are most inspired to write, because inspiration is like that distant ship for which a lost traveler landed on an unknown island keep waiting.
“Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long.” - Leonard Bernstein
Now since it isn’t that easy to really write well when you aren’t inspired, better to write without getting up from your seat when you are really inspired.
4. Check Out your Biological Rhythms
Your biological rhythm makes you do most of the things that you do at a specific part of the day and it affects your creativity the most. Some people just can’t think of getting up early and typing down an article, some others feel afternoon is the worst part of the day. Some feel that their creative instincts work the best at night. So check out when you feel like working the most and simply don’t waste that precious part of the day uselessly, instead write as much as you can.
5. Write Simple, Write Well
It is really true that the simple things are done well. So keep your blog post simple, do not try to cover too much in one post. Stick to the topic and decide well what you have to write. A simple blog post will be helpful in two ways first you won’t have to trouble yourself much and second, the readers will also enjoy a short and simple post to read.
