Since blogging I have been pretty consistent and probably average at least 2 blogs per week. I want to write quality blogs and I want them read and comments too. You could say I expect a lot. Normally when I write I do get comments and my posts are read but the problem is I have a case of "Blog Fog!" Does this ever happen to you?
Blog Fog can be recurring and can be harmful to your business. So what is Blog Fog?
It happens something like this.........You sit in front of your computer every day attempting to post something of quality to only log out and attempt it again later. Your attention span is similiar to a 2 year old's, instead of blogging you surf the net and find yourself on youtube laughing it up. You log in you log out. The family asks,"What's wrong? Why aren't you blogging?" Your e-mail is full of "Where have you been? "The next sentence is "I can't, the words aren't coming to me." You just can't do and you don't want to do it. So guess what.....you don't. Before you know it your website placement is not where you want it to be or you haven't made any new contacts since blogging last. So what is a girl to do?
Rest your mind and don't put so much pressure on yourself.
Take a step back and start reading other people's blogs. There is so much quality content on ActiveRain which makes it very easy to miss some great posts. I try and go back for the entire month and read through all blogs. I know I can learn something from everyone.
Read other people's posts and get those creative juices flowing. Let other people's great works of art inspire and motivate you. No plagarism....only inspiration. There are many great authors out there that may not have the notoriety that other's experience they too should be acknowledged. Many times that is who I focus on.
Invite other's to join the community, you can still be involved daily and contribute to the network. Invite 2 friends and they tell two friends and so on and so on.
Take the time to comment and rate the posts that you read, I am sure the author would really appreciate it. I do! Just because you have blog fog doesn't mean all of what you have done is lost. Somehow bring yourself to comment. Commenting will help create healthy blogging habits, so when the time is right and the mind is right you will be able to do it again. For me the time is now. Thank Goodness....
The fog has lifted......Here comes the sun and finally a blog post!!!
