beating the blogging blues
DESCRIPTION
It's inevitable. You'll run out of post ideas. Your blog traffic will plateau. You'll get bored. It's something every blogger faces eventually. We'll get tired of blogging and, oftentimes, we'll quit. We'll rhetorically ask, "what's the point" and throw in the towel. It doesn't have to be this way. In this presentation I share 8 tips for beating the blogging blues. Are you ready to bring back your joy for blogging?

1 Read your old blog posts.

In addition to potentially
giving you new ideas,
reading your old posts
will reconnect you to the
days when you weren’t
down on blogging.

2 Focus on the blogs of
others and leave them
comments.

Freed from the burden of
conjuring topic ideas for
posts, you can relax.
Return to the core of
blogging: Interacting &
engaging with others.

Changing the way your
blog looks could change
the way you’re feeling
about your blog. And if
what you’re feeling is
negative, change can
only be a good thing.

4 Write something off topic
and fun.
Inject some levity into
your blog.

Get back to the root of
why you loved blogging
in the first place. Tell a
story.
Make it off topic. Make it
fun. Laugh!

If blog posts are too
much for you right now,
try writing 144-character
Tweets.
The different venue
could spark creativity.

6 Go to your blog and
answer any unanswered
comments left to you by
readers.

It doesn’t matter how old
the comment may be.
Interact with those who
have interacted with you.
Go connect with your
readers.

7 Write about how you're
out of ideas.

Write about your writer’s
block. Write about how
you’re down on blogging.
The act of writing
anything could spark
creativity.

Guest blogging for a new
audience can be fun and
exciting.
Try it. See if it will renew
your passion for your
own blog.
