My fat advice on 9 months of blogging despite a hectic life.

Blogging while having a hectic life or schedule can be really exhausting. However, you should know that building a blog requires a lot of work and passion. You have to make even a short amount of time doing something every week for the blog.  Building a blog will require you to meet new people, do more research, fall in love with photography and use social media more often; and all that is not easy at all.  One thing for sure, I wouldn’t trade this for anything because I get in the habit of writing more as well as collaborating  with awesome individuals.

You may work your 9 to 5 or be on call as a first responder professional which can be hectic. Personally, every time I got some free time I write three sentences or a paragraph until that blog post is done because I can work up to sixteen hours a day. In my 9 months of blogging, I took a 4 weeks break from blogging because I was going through a crisis myself but I made use of what was already on the blog or collaborated with amazing guest bloggers in order to stay active as much as possible.

Recently, I had two friends asking me how do I do it. Honestly, it’s hard to stay on top of your game but I am not where I used to be when I started blogging 8-9 months ago. With all that being said; here are my top pieces of advice on how to stay on top of blogging despite living a hectic life.

1-  Free up time so you can rock out your blog especially if you don’t have the weekend at all. By cutting down your TV time from 30 minutes to an hour in order write a blog post.

2- When you are not writing, brainstorming topics or ideas while doing your everyday shores. Also, if your phone is on hands, create a quick note so you can come back to later.

3- Guest posting: meet or communicate with other bloggers. They would love to collab with you and you can also return the favor.

4- My blogging coach once said that it is important to blog at least twice a week. Trust me, it is true because your views increase the more contents you have. However, in case you can’t keep up, try to share a blog post once a week.

5- Share and comment on other bloggers; and I am sure a lot of them will definitely do the same.

Hope these tips help you. Until next time.
