But apart being a blogger, we too have a family, friends, and other works. So sometimes it’s tuff to manage sufficient time for the blogging. So what to do? Today we’ll discuss this as how to manage our blog even when we’re too busy.
As a blogger, we always try to keep the frequency of blog post but at the same time we’re the owner of that site also. And being the owner of the site, we think ourselves as a business man too :)
It’s true when you’ll not write any blog post for few days your traffic will go comparatively down. But as a business man would you like this to happen? Would you adjust with the blog traffic, page rank and the most significant relation with your visitors? Of course NOT.
Who will want this? We know how much time and hard work it cost to rank the blog and in building an excellent blog, so no one will want to let it down just because you do not have sufficient time and you’re busy in some other urgent work.

By this way even if you’re not posting anything for few days also, you’ll be able to maintain a healthier relation with your valuable visitors.
Here I’ve maintained moderating the blog comments. Yes this is a good practice to avoid spam in the comments. Initially on this blog, comment moderation was not enabled and I got around 20 useless comments on my blog post.
Later I had to come and delete those. So comment moderation is a good practice per my view. And this will not take much time and even laptops are not required. You can do it through your phone and now for all the blogging platforms like Blogspot, Wordpress, Apps are in the market, so nothing to worry. Control your account using these apps.

It’s justifiable to get busy as we may have some other urgent work also but planning is very important. We need to plan everything in such a way that neither personal work nor business (blogging) should get impacted.

For this you can take help of blog commenting or social media. Get active on all these and by this way you can manage to say the world that you’ve come and now working actively on your blog. You may organize any contest on your blog or facebook fan page to get maximum attraction also.

How to maintain the growth of a blog in Busy Time?
Maintain a Blog Post Frequency
Never keep your blog inactive for long time like more than a week or two. If you’re doing this, believe me you’re having a huge loss and immediately you should write a post. If you haven’t posted on your blog for long time suppose say 2 week, slowly search engines will consider your blog as ideal or even dead sometime and your SERP will decrease and thus reduce in organic traffic. So if you’re too busy also, any how you should manage to write at least a post in a week.Also Read: How to increase quality dofollow backlinks: List of dofollow forums
Accept Guest Posts
This idea works awesome when you’re too busy. You’re busy and so you won’t be able to write on your blog frequently then why not to try some other alternative for the blog post? And what can be better than guest blogging. But remember unless you are not having good traffic, getting approached for guest posts is little bit difficult.But in this scenario also you can get guest post sometime using few guests posting site. One of those is myblogguest. Using this site you can offer other bloggers to have a guest post on your blog and there is a chance that you may get on a blog having less traffic also or on those blog which is relatively new.

Emails are the great way to be in touch with the people. If you’ve written a good post, you’ll receive few emails appreciating your effort and also there may be few emails asking some doubt or seeking some suggestion. You should reply to both. But if you’re not getting good time, no worry at least reply to those emails in which your readers have asked some doubts or need some expert advice. Because they trust you and so have sent you an email. But if you will not reply, they may approach some other bloggers and you’ll lose one of your valuable readers and remember these readers are your customers..right?In these period most of the emails you will receive will be related to you itself as why you are not posting, or you’re having any problem something.

Hi Ashu,
ReplyDeleteHelpful post! Often part time bloggers or even full time bloggers fail to maintain their blogs; here's when these tips would be helpful. Always it is advised not to stop updating your blog for too long. Guest post is a great way to get content on your blog by other bloggers. Nowadays we have tons of freelancer bloggers as well to do the same.
Again, coming to checking mails for readers... yeah that's great way to retain readers on the blog, isn't it? To be honest I received only 1 appreciation mail in my inbox till now lol.
I enjoyed reading this post. Shared this post on LinkedIn. Thanks for sharing some good tips.
Regards,
Rohan Chaubey.
Thanks a lot Rohan !! I'm really enjoying your company bro and thanks for sharing.
DeleteWe should not leave updating our blog because this give a wrong impression to our readers as well as the search engines. Thanks for the comment and kep visiting :)
Hello Ashutosh,
ReplyDeleteI think the reason why many leave their blogs mostly unattended to has to do with the fact they thought blogging was an easy thing to do and an easy way to make money but when after sometime the results aren't coming in, that's when things are left to deteriorate.
I do love those tips you shared with respect to how to combat that.
Thanks much Emmanuel for sharing your thoughts here. First i welcome you at TricksRoad and i agree with you. Many people think initially that blogging is an easy work and an easy way to earn money online. But later they understand the issue related with this and then leave blogging.
DeleteBut i think before staring any business, we should understand about the market, future, work and investment about that. This helps in deciding the business and work in better way.
Thanks once again and i'm very glad that you liked this post. Keep visiting :)
Hi Ashutosh,
ReplyDeleteI seen you over at Aha!NOW and thought I would pay you a visit. I'm glad I did because you have something good going on with your blog.
Being too busy can become a problem for us bloggers. It's easy to fall behind in posting and like you said, traffic will go down. I know I have seen it on my blog.
I like the ideas you suggest expecially the guest post one. I didn't know there was a posting site we could go to. And checking comments is important because it let our readers know their value their input. I will take your suggestion and try checking every day.
Thanks!
Hi Vernon,
DeleteFirst of all a warm welcome to you at TricksRoad and very much thanks for the wonderful comment.
I agree with you, a time comes when we get very much busy in some other stuffs and getting less time to manage our blog at that scenario also, we need to take care of blogging and we can manage this with little prior plan.
Guest posting is the best way to manage blog and keep the frequency of post in those time. There are few other sites also which provides such opportunity but myguestblog is best among them.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, keep visiting!!
Have a nice week ahead.
Regards,
Ashutosh Jha
Hi Ashuthosh
ReplyDeleteKeeping the blog update for regularly increases the SERP, replying comments will help in building relationships, regarding guest post now Google is taking it serious for bibing dofollow links some people are doing it, rest of the article is very good,keep it up Go Ahead.
Hi Siddaiah,
DeleteGreat to see you here. You're among the few bloggers to whom i landed in the beginning and learnt a lot of blogging. Thanks for being so supportive.
I agree with you, fake back linking is considered as a spam but guest posting method is still rocking. But one have to care full while guest posting. We should try to use nofollow attribute in the links. By this way, we can never get penalized by Google or any other search engine.
Thanks for the valuable feedback. Keep visiting.
