My clients are just too lazy to do it. Lazy is probably the wrong term. Too busy doing other things. I am trying to get them to Tweet instead as it is much less work for them.

Parker Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:43:04 +0000 http://gillin.com/blog/?p=1166#comment-1270 Dear Paul: This is a great post, especially the "outdated last post" trap. The cause of procrastination and lost momentum is probably a lack of commitment to a written content plan for blog updating. A simple blog content plan based on posting on specific topics on specific days can quickly turn the situation around. The solution can be as simple as committing to post about Topic A on Mondays and posting about Topic B on Thursdays. Once you've identified the broad topics you're going to post about, preparing the posts becomes part of your daily routine, or, your daily habits. I'm amazed at how easy it has been for me to post 5 days a week on my Published & Profitable Writer's Daily Tips blog (http://blog.publishedandprofitable). The "formula," or content plan, makes it easy for me to keep current. My formula is very simple: * On Mondays, I post book planning topic for authors. * On Tuesdays, I post a writing tip for authors. * On Wednesdays, I post a promotion tip for authors. * On Thursdays, I post a profit tip for authors. * On Fridays, I post about upcoming events. The formula is really transparent, but it has kept me on schedule for over two years. The only time I missed my weekday daily updates was when my wife was having heart surgery. It's important to note that committing to a 1 or 2 day a week blog posting program does not mean that's *all* you can post. It's simply your "routine" or "basic minimum." You can always post additional topics as appropriate, suggested by events in the news or upcoming events. Great topic! Roger Dear Paul:

A simple blog content plan based on posting on specific topics on specific days can quickly turn the situation around.

The solution can be as simple as committing to post about Topic A on Mondays and posting about Topic B on Thursdays. Once you’ve identified the broad topics you’re going to post about, preparing the posts becomes part of your daily routine, or, your daily habits.

I’m amazed at how easy it has been for me to post 5 days a week on my Published & Profitable Writer’s Daily Tips blog (http://blog.publishedandprofitable). The “formula,” or content plan, makes it easy for me to keep current. My formula is very simple:

* On Mondays, I post book planning topic for authors.
* On Tuesdays, I post a writing tip for authors.

Great topic!
