» An Hour a Day Will Keep You Blogging Away

Blogging takes time but it doesn’t have to absorb a lot of time.  I recommend devoting an hour a day.  This hour is NOT to be entirely devoted to writing, but an hour that focuses on the other important facets of a successful blog. To help inspire you, here are some blogging activities that can easily be done in an hour on a daily basis.

Your blog hour can be spent in so many ways

• Topic brainstorming
• Content planning
• Keyword research
• Editing or updating outdated posts
• Publishing and cross linking strategies
• Reviewing older posts for new cross linking opportunities
• Link building & networking with other blogs
• Software and plugin updates

There is so much more to developing a successful blog than publishing massive amounts of content. The overall health and SEO of your blog is just as important as the content you publish. And brainstorming for interesting topics that will keep readers engaged is more important than publishing vague and common posts.

All of these tasks combined may seem overwhelming but putting just one of the above tasks into action for just an hour each day will reap you great benefits. For a successful blog and to benefit your social community make sure to take the time to stay on top of behind-the-scenes dirty work which includes software and plugin updates.
