In the prequel that position you may have learned the importance of passion for blogs; at the same time, I discussed how the concept of passion is over-rated in the blogosphere.
This position, I would like to enlighten you on an important aspect, which is essential for blogging outside the passion. Indeed, it is one of the most important ingredients to blogging success - "Planning".
Often, people may say that if you have the passion you can achieve anything. This could be partially correct; what they mean by saying is that if you have passion for something that passion will be "push" in the right direction to do anything necessary to succeed in this thing.
In fact, there are a few comments in the previous part of this position and I am sure that they wanted to say this. However, there are so many things that cannot be indemnified just with passion. For example, the time. Say you have loads of passion to the blogs, but you can simply spend any time for that? Of course you can outsource the entire process, but then it is not to blog for passion.
At the same time, combined with passion, if you intend to plan things, you may be able to slip in a few hours every day to your blogging activities. And, since you will participate also comes with many bloggers, you plan to put these two hours to effective blogging!
Some consider that planning to be a waste of time. Planning indeed is not a waste of time, but an investment of time.
In particular, with blogs, you need that 'extra mile' planning because blogs writing not only about the post. as you already know. It is composed of so many things.
Passion which will lead you to the input of a job, but only the planning makes you to face the consequences. When it comes to blogging, that little is should be planned to succeed that they
This is where your passion a really enters the room. You must choose the niches or topics which you are passionate to be blogging on the subject for a long time.
But it is also necessary that you need to plan on the choice of one or a few niches among those that you are passionate.
For example, my passions are blogging, relations, SEO, social media, to improve, fashion, technology, movies, etc. ; But if I choose blindly blog on everything that I am passionate column of my blog would be awkward.
Should I choose only one or a few niches suitable topic blog. Or I have to think about launching several blogs if I want to write about all the.
Blog promotion needs a plan. Not a big blue print. But there should be a kind of focus or organization because there is no plan, is it easy to get distracted, because social media is known to distract you. While it is true that is social is essential to the success of blogging, you can spend all day on it.
Similarly for the blog to comment on, you cannot spend all day and you certainly need an effective strategy.
You need to assign some time each day to regularly connecting to the accounts of social media, interact with people there, promoting the other content, promote your content and so on. See "promotion" is not only on submit your ticket of blog to all social media. There is more to it and you certainly need a plan.
Monetize your blog certainly need a plan. You deserve being paid for the content you give out free of charge. At the same time you should not annoy your readers so that they fled because of your methods of monetization.
You must carefully to try each method of monetization one by one and monitor how they perform. Some things to closely follow are:
How this particular type of monetization convertsis it y a change in the rate of rebound after you have implemented the methodare y all complaints/comments/emails from your readers on a particular monetization methoddoes this method really more profits so that you can keep on losing readers?and so on.
I have addressed only a few significant examples that absolutely need planning. There are things most certainly related to the blogs where planning is essential.
Passion is a flavor that turn the taste of blogging, but one of the key ingredients in the recipe for blogging success is planning.
Planning, must however be done realistically. Do not press more that you can handle. For instance if you can spend only 5 hours per day on blogs spend 4 hours for social media engagement. You will then run short in time to write blog articles and will have to compromise on something else.
