19 Comments on When Business Gets in the Way of Blogging
Rick- sometimes I think being a full time blogger would be easier... definitely fun! Unfortunately, I have to consider it more "fun," and get the work done first.
Sonja- It doesn't always feel like the right choice-- I feel guilty! I definitely didn't put all the work into building my outside blog only to abandon it, but the active clients must always come first :)
Clint- You're right- it's definitely a good problem to have, and I certainly will not complain.
Nannette- Thanks for stopping!
Debbie- Thank you very, very much. Come back and have a sit again soon. Congrats on your busy day :) We most definitely can't do it all- choices must be made.
Michael- I've been fortunate to find a niche in a difficult market.
Dan Cummings- Did you just call me a slacker?! :) I'll have to revisit that discussion... I'm stumped.
I agree Sandi. Once I started getting busy it is SO hard to get back into the routine of blogging. I need to just get back into the habit. If I can give any advice, it would be to keep it up while you can. Once you get away its difficult to get it back
Busy can be good...sometimes we need a break though, and blogging is not really a break, it's part of the job. Or seems to be!
I asked my one "famous" client how he updates his blog daily when his schedule is so crazy. He told me he bankrolls blogs. He'll sit down and write 10-15 more "generic' blogs at a time. When he's crazy, he'll post one of those, otherwise he writes as he's going through his day.
I have a very big problem with this, as well. It also seems like I get inspiration, I'll write 3 blogs, post them quickly (within the same day) and then I hit a dry spell for the week.
Something that I've done when I'm feeling rushed or a "dry spell" - I'll find an article online, link to it, and comment. Easier to talk with a jumping off point, rather than waiting for inspiration to strike.
