The Importance of Blogging Daily

Blogging Daily

Writing and maintaining a blog can be a huge asset for your business. Everybody is familiar with blogging and most have tried their hand at it, but far too many people make one or two posts and then leave their blog to fall by the wayside.

The truth is that blogging can be one of the best ways to drive new traffic to your website, retain existing customers, and increase your search engine rankings with fresh daily content.

It’s easy to forget to write a blog post in the hustle and bustle of every day, but making a small effort can pay off in big ways.

Here are some great tips to help you blog quickly and effectively; likely in 30 minutes or less!

Blogging Tip #1 – When Inspiration Strikes, Write it Down 

A short pencil is better than a long memory! If you have an idea, simply take 15 seconds to write it down on a piece of paper. Or, if your smart phone has a notepad app, write it down there. Sometimes the things you think are the most inane ideas or topics can turn out to be great things to write about.

Getting in the habit of writing down your creative thoughts will also help inspire you to act on them. It’s very easy to find something to write about when you have a notebook full of ideas! 

Blogging Tip #2 – Find Ideas in Everyday Life 

Each day is different. Different things happen throughout the world, we talk to different people, and we do different things. Literally anything can be a great blog topic to write about.

What may seem normal in your day might not be normal for somebody else. If something in your everyday life gives you inspiration, put your proverbial pen to the paper and make a post. 

Blogging Tip #3 – Details, Details! 

Don’t just make a blog post to take up space, make sure that you’re putting out quality content. A business blog is useless if the content you put forward is uninteresting or poorly written.

Take the time to research the idea that you’re writing about. Look for other resources related to your blog post on the Internet. Draw inspiration from those resources, and don’t be afraid to link to similar posts for the pleasure of your readers. 

Blogging Tip #4 – Show Your Personality

If you have a unique style of writing, embrace it! Let your personality shine through your words. Perfection is overrated. Don’t get hung up on the sentence structure or whether or not your post adheres perfectly to literary standards. One of the beauties of blogging is the ability to say what you want, when you want, how you want, on your own platform. Your readers will appreciate your personality!

These few tips can help you get started on keeping your blog up to date, current, interesting and above all good quality content. Take a few minutes to expand on the ideas you have each day, and enjoy watching your web traffic grow.

  1. To add to the above posts: “You Must Love What You Do!” That’s the difference between bloggers who write two posts, then abandon their blog due to the lack of traffic and bloggers who post quality content on a daily basis. I am able to do all of the above things without raising a sweat, or resenting the written work. In fact I do it with a rush of gratitude and good feelings, because I love what I do as it pertains to blogging.

    When you love what you do it does not feel like work and you are more than happy to spend every waking minute doing it and the sleeping minutes as well. The more you love the more you can do.

    • An excellent point Greg! Passion is something I hold as well and so when you have that passion, that love for what you do it really does seem effortless and makes your days much more enjoyable and meaningful. Really appreciate you adding your insight to this topic.

  2. Good point Lynn,

    Its a good habit to blog daily just make sure you are still inspired daily.

    It comes across clearly when a blogger just “mails in an article” and is obviously not inspired.

    This happens when people put strict goals on themselves like I WILL WRITE DAILY OR BUST.

    Problem is we all tend to bust at times. There’s 7 days in a week if we are only hype to write 2 days of the week that’s 5 lame articles out of 7 a week.

    Maybe it should be I will find inspiration daily or bust?

    Very good points, one’s that i agree with. Time management is something that bloggers including myself do sometimes struggle with. The key points in this blog may seem like they will take time out of your day, however the small amount of time it adds during the day, when you sit down to write it will half your writing time.

    Also showing your personality in all niche’s is vital. If you don’t show your personality you will just get sucked up by the blogging vacuum and sit in an empty bag with all the other average blogs.

  5. These are great tips to help anyone blog daily. However, i must say that it takes alot of commitment and dedication to be blogging daily.

    However, i believe it is one of the price to pay if you want to make it in blogging.

  6. Hi Lynn,

    Very well written post that I enjoyed reading. I agree with your recommendations as well. However, the only trouble I’ve with daily writing is, with somebody like me who has a few other businesses to take care of, daily writing is very stressful. Therefore, I decided to blog 2 to 3 times a week.

    So, I thought that if quality is being compromised, I would rather blog less frequently and come up with a content that my readers will appreciate. What do you think about that?

  7. Hi Lynn,

    Thanks for sharing your tips! I personally don’t blog everyday, but instead I do it 5 days a week (M-F). I actually plan out my content about a month in advance so I’m not trying to figure out what to blog about on the day I need to make a new post.

  10. It is true that when an inspiration strikes your mind, you should write it down because fresh ideas do not strike often. Hence, when something interesting comes to your mind, write it on apiece of paper. Then develop the story further and post it on the blog. This will improve your online visibility as well.

  11. Hello Lynn
    Great post. Blogging really a big help to market your business. But we should always remember that blogging will be effective if you always post a better content in your blog..Writing good content is your best way of bringing life to your blog through traffic and visitors.
    Thanks for share this post.

    bert recently posted…Ronde tafel Business Club bijeenkomsten Arnhem/NijmegenMy Profile (dofollow)

  18. Yes, blogging can be fun and profitable, but I certainty could not make much money out of them. I had two blogs about cars, but they were too time consuming and took me away from my real passion – cars. Plus, I would be brain dead at times to come up with something fresh. Kudos to those who do blog on a constant basis, and even more kudos, to those who do make money from them.

    • Your love of cars Frank would make for some really good blog posts. Each day you could talk about people you have met that you talked to about cars. Maybe discuss tips on keeping cars looking good, maintained and things like that. You can monetize a blog like that by adding in some car related products, by being an Amazon.com associate and then whenever anyone buys that product, ‘car wax’ ‘car books’ or whatever, you earn a commission. These are just some things I through I would toss out there as ideas on how we monetize our blogs and keeping fresh content on a daily basis.

      So glad that you stopped by and share your comments today.

  24. I love your article Lynn. I enjoy blogs that take time and effort in writing each and every post. That way it’s more unique and is always outstanding from the crowd.

  25. Hi Lynn. Sometimes blogging daily can be hard. Do you know any of the scheduling plugins for WordPress so I can schedule posts for later on?

    • Yes Delmer the WordPress blogs already include the ‘schedule’ feature. When you set up a new blog post, before you ‘publish’ the post, there is an “EDIT” link next to the words ‘publish immediately’. Click on Edit and choose the date and time you want to schedule your posts.

      Hope that is helpful and glad you shared your comments and questions today.

  28. Hi Lynn,

    Great tips here, you know, I’ve found my self having a lot of great post ideas but I made the mistake of not writing them down, and most of the times I’m struggling hard to remember what was the good topic I was thinking about.

    I don’t have the time to write daily posts, because I take time to research a lot and I also have a full time job I have to worry about, but I try to write 2-3 times a week, and if I can maybe some guest posts.

    Thank you for sharing this, I really enjoyed reading your post Lynn, have a great day and all the best to you.

    • Glad to hear Philip you enjoyed reading my post. Over time I found that I was spending too much time on my blog posts. You might look at breaking bigger topics into several blog posts creating a series which will keep you visitors coming back, but also you can write shorter posts to provide daily blogging.

      Really appreciate you sharing your comments and how you are still able to blog a few times per week even with a full time job. That shows your passion and determination in helping others, love that!

  41. Great post! Since I’m a writer, inspiration strikes me in the oddest places at times. I used to carry a small notebook and pencil around to jot down ideas. Now I just use the Evernote app to jot them down in my Android phone on on my Kindle. I LOVE Evernote!

    I also come across ideas daily as go about my business. It could be something interesting I read or something I witnessed while out or literally dozens of things. In other words, there is never a shortage of things to blog about. The key is making the time to blog.

    Oh yeah, and personality goes a looong way! Don’t just report the facts, be creative with it. Be yourself.

    Once again, loved reading this!

  42. You know Deirdre I just downloaded the Evernote app on my Android, but just need some time to figure it out. Glad you offered that idea, I will certainly look into using that.

    I agree with you about including your personality when writing your blog posts. It certainly helps to attract people and get them returning time and time again. Thank you for you wonderful insight and sharing your writing tips.

  43. Are you looking for a seo content writing services so firstly Go through a Company’s Previous Work Online before choosing to gat services.Give some time and go through with the previous articles and blog posts that have been published online by the content content writers of that company.It helps you a lot to understand about their writing style and whether they can adjust their way of writing to suit your requirements.This process is very important Since, an experienced company would have written on a variety of topics and you could see the way they write.

  44. Thanks Lynn. I like your idea. Keep blogging can build the authentic visualization to your customer, and also can interact with your customer, and collect the useful information.
