How to Write a Blog Post Every Day
Don’t write extremely long posts, you may lose readers, and you are wasting effort. If you have a lot to say, split the article into 2 or 3 different posts, each with it’s own title. Ideally each post should be around 200 to 300 words.
Write about anything that interests you, it will be easier and more enjoyable finding the words. It’s amazing how many products you can link to diverse subjects. It’s as easy as A,B,C. I have written about Astronomy, Beer and Comics and have had no problem finding product links to monetise each post.
If you get into a writing mode with a number of posts flowing easily, don’t publish them all on the same day. Use the ‘Save Draft’ facility and publish them on separate days. The Search Engines like regular new content.
When you get an idea for a post save it in the ‘Draft’ facility, and write your idea down. Even if it’s only 2 or 3 lines it doesn’t matter. You have now got it saved and it’s a reminder to look up more information on the topic.
Use the ‘Save Draft’ facility as your on-line private diary, then publish a pre-prepared saved draft each day. Blogging can be fun, and could make you a fortune, if you get into a regular routine. Mandy Allen’s blog should give you enough incentive to prioritise this.

Happy Blogging,

Fabulous post, John. I never thought about using the draft folder this way, thanks so much for that. I agree that shorter posts are best, and 2-300 words hits the mark. Quite a lot of blog posts could be split down into a series of articles on one subject which would give the writer the opportunity to post every day for a week, and it would give the reader a reason to come back – ‘oh I was reading about that and I want to see the next instalment’ kind of thing. Really good post (not only because of the pingback – thanks!)
Enjoy the journey.
MandyThanks for this tip Mandy, I have now just split one of my own long articles 'Why the Moon Looks Bigger?' into 2 parts.

Thanks Mandy,Since writing the post I have also discovered how to schedule publication in advance, so you could still have regular posts while away on holiday.
On the right hand side you will see Publish Status, below that you will see Publish Immediately Edit. Click on Edit and you will get a date and time option for publication.

Brilliant, John, thanks for that extra bit of info. I thought it should do that but I didn’t know how. Of course the next step after that is to do the same with aweber so everyone gets notified of the posts as they come out.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Ah - Aweber; you've touched on one of my many weak spots Mandy. I haven't really looked at it yet :O) John[Reply]
