How to Avoid Distractions As a Blogger

Blogging is all about creating content. What drives visitors to come to your blog is essentially the content that you write. If it is credible good quality writing, more people will return to your blogs and eventually word of mouth will get your blog even more publicity. This translates into more visitors. If you are monetizing your blog this could potentially mean more sales.

Sometimes bloggers face a problem and that is they have this sudden outburst of ideas in their head but they don't know where to put the pieces together and they don't know what to start off with. These ideas need not necessarily be about generating content, but can also involve things like monetizing their blogs, promotion or even starting a membership subscription for your visitors.

The best way to solve this is to start planning for your blog. If you have heaps of ideas in your head and you don't know what to do with them, write them down in your diary or notepad. Start prioritizing on the things you should do first. If you haven't been writing for a month its probably time to post some new content on your blog so writing becomes more important than anything else. Writing ideas down also makes things clearer to you so that you can decide what to write about. Chances are they might be certain articles that you may have more to write about.

You should also set a time frame for your goals. Setting deadlines for your goals ensure that you achieve your goals faster. Say for instance I want to have 1000 articles on my blog after 12 months. Write them down and start thinking of ways to get there. You can think of outsourcing, hiring writers for your blog if you cannot cope with writing. If it is not achievable, set more modest goals. You might be thinking of other ways to monetize your blog. Find out how to achieve this and give yourself a time frame and a profit target.

It can also be difficult to stay focused especially with the information overload we receive today. You might be listening to a 30 or 50 people who are so called "gurus" on how to blog the right way. There might be subtle differences between the way they blog and make money. My advice is to filter out 90% of those emails and listen to a good few. If you are not convinced with the gurus, then start looking for quality blogs on the internet specifically to your niche. Find out how they achieve success. Focus on a good few and never distract yourself with other information unless they are proven methods and they work.

Blogging is a fun thing to do. It is certainly better if you have an objective to blog. You might blog to help others or to make a living. Whatever your reasons may be, planning and staying focused helps you achieve your goals quicker.

To Your Success!
