When running a blog, organization is everything. But what does it mean to organize? Write posts in time? Also, but a blog is not just made up of the mere publication of articles. There is so much more to consider when managing a blog. Training: Read other blogs For me, reading, as I have written several times, is training. Not only reading novels to improve my creative writing, not only essays to broaden my culture and document myself, but also reading other blogs to improve my blogging. I read blogs by experts in various sectors that interest me: blogging, copywriting, creative writing, content marketing, social media, web marketing, SEO mainly. But I also read about the same topics in blogs by people who are not experts, because I always find something that can be useful to me. When should you read all these blogs? Which isn't just about blogs, but also about the many newsletters that I receive.
First I do a skimming : I can't read all this material every day, otherwise I would only do that. I try to read in the morning from 8 to 9, then something after lunch and the rest finally in the evening. Reader care: Respond to comments It has always been my passion, not only to write quality content , but also to respond to all comments. Today the trend of closing Special Data the comments area in blogs is taking hold , a trend that I do not approve of in the slightest, but everyone is free to do what they want in their own home. Coincidentally, all those who have disabled comments on their blogs are successful people, who still get thousands of daily visits and hundreds of shares. If we did it, we would have to close the blog. When to reply to all comments? I don't receive so many that I have to sacrifice hours of sleep, but in any case I decided to dedicate half an hour after lunch to this space for those of the new post and reply to all the others who arrive as soon as I can.
I prefer to do this, otherwise I risk looking at the blog or downloading email every half hour to see if there are new comments. Email: the devil's temptation Many people say that constantly checking your email wastes a lot of time and it's true. Only certain segments of the day should be dedicated to email, but I haven't managed to do that yet. So, yes, I'm one of those who checks every half hour. The work email excuse is precisely an excuse: we are human beings, not robots, so if we don't respond immediately, no one dies. The blogger may have other things to do, perhaps he is actually working for you who are eager for an answer. Or maybe he is in the bathroom (even bloggers go there), or at the cinema (even bloggers get distracted and have fun), or writing a post or doing anything else that he is free to do. The search for ideas: the real engine of the blog This is the most delicate and also time-consuming part. The editorial calendar needs fresh meat every day, it must be filled with good ideas, ideas that generate content, not rubbish as filler.
