How To Blog Consistently

Welcome back!

Google Buzz

Now, I’ll tell you how to make your blog go on and on and on…

That sounds cool.

Many of you will not find much time to keep blogging and posting at your sites continuously. So what can be done to make it easy for you to remain consistent with your blogs?

I have a few ideas…

Idea # 1: Accept RSS ads

The key is: You’ve got to be obligated to others to come out with new content on a fixed schedule.  By accepting pre-payment for RSS ads, you will be forced to be on time!

Why Doesn’t the Sidebar Ads Work in Making You Disciplined to Blog?

Because you’ll most likely be charging for the sidebar ads on a monthly basis.  Or on a CPM basis.  But with RSS ads, advertisers will be paying you for a fixed number of posts per month!

So How To Run RSS Ads on Your Blog?

i. If you use WordPress, you can install the RSS Feed Footer WordPress plugin to run ads.  (You may have to find other alternatives if you don’t use WordPress…)

ii. The easiest way to attract advertisers is to make a new post on your blog with a graph of the number of RSS subscribers you have.   And asking people to contact you if they want to advertise.

iii. You can charge as much as $5-50 per post for every 1000 subscribers. (Start low and then slowly increase the rates.)

iv. If you don’t have many RSS subscribers, you can go to a forum like DigitalPoint.com and sell RSS ad placements for $1 or so.  The money is not important.  The fact that pre-selling RSS ads obligates you to write a certain number of posts every week without fail is.

Idea # 2: Hire a Co-Blogger

Another idea you can use to keep your blog fresh year after year is hire or joint venture with other bloggers.  There are quite a few benefits of having multiple bloggers write for one blog:

i. The pressure is off any single blogger.  If one blogger is slacking, others can put in a big more effort.

ii. You can now take vacations!

iii. Multiple authors bring multiple view points.  Thus you can also attract a wider audience.

iv. More bloggers = more promoters too.  Marketing your blog becomes a whole lot easier!
