Don’t Let Your Blog Drown

Published by zenwriter at 9:47 pm under Blogging, Persistence Edit This

Early this morning, I visited a blog that was born in 2007 and drowned the same year.

It only had a life of about five months.

A blog is as good as its last post. You make a post today and as the hours stretch by, it starts sinking. So to keep its head above water, you would have to make a fresh post the next day or the next.

Some bloggers don’t make fresh posts daily because they don’t have fresh ideas.

Some have ideas but think that those ideas are not good enough for blog posts.

No idea is ever good enough if you start putting it under the microscope.

Also, some bloggers are under the impression that they would have to write thousands of words for their blog posts to be any good.

If they don’t have a subject on which they can write thousands of words, they banish the idea of writing at all.

You should eliminate such defeatist habits from your system.

All you need is a simple subject on which you can write about a hundred words.

When you feel you don’t have anything to write, just go out and write about fifty words, to keep your blog above water.

Don’t ever pause and think whether your post is good or will impress readers.

Remember, your chief mission as a blogger is to keep your blog from drowning, not writing the perfect post.
