BLOG's Slowing down, Dont worry !

Share
There would be a time that every one would have felt that they have tons of articles to write, and no time for anything else. Will the enthusiasm flow for a seasoned blogger, or after blogging for a considerable long time? I guess that the answer may vary over this, but definitely the answer would be " less interested " or " have little time for it " or "No posts".
This is a general complaint from a single blogger, if he is the sole writer of the blog, and this is rarely seen in a blog where many people write to it.

Why is there this slump to the blogs? Is it self-made or has time bound your hands? I guess every one will have their own reason to quote for the slump in their blog, but if this is made as a regular habit, just like looking up the mail, or messaging over the net this will look very simple and never will the term slump come up.

The blogs just not help us updating our Knowledge Base, but also help others who are desperately looking out for knowledge.

1. Plan the Contents: It is better to start a blog that has juice to a greater extent, and the one that can spell its effect long term. If there are any posts that are incomplete then complete them.

2. Take a break: It is alright to take a break if you feel that you are out of contents or have felt bored about blogging. A small break can revitalize your thoughts and you can come up with new contents. But be very careful in mentioning your readers that you will not be posting for 'Y' number of days. Else they can unsubscribe from your article or think that you have stopped writing. Its important to retain old visitors and more important is to woo new visitors to your site.

3. Broaden the blog base: Initially one might have restricted to a single topic, which is practically difficult to target regularly. SO its better to broaden the base and write more topics in relation to the main topic we have selected. Example, if we are writing on electronic goods, its wise to broaden the base and extending to also write about ROBOTS that are just not electronic products, but is a Mechatronic product. This widens the scope of more posts, and also many people can get attracted to your blog. But be careful of not broadening the topics to a very general platform, which can make the reader feel that the blog has all crap under the sun which may not be very specific.

4. Don't clutter: If there are many sub topics that you feel cant be addressed effectively, then plan a topic for each day of the week, which can make you address many topics over the week, and also that there are a lot more chances that you can find topics to be written over a week's time. This works only if the blog is not in the line of any updating blogs like the News.

5. Friendly blogging: Ask some of the trusted ones among your friends and/ or colleagues to help posting for you as guests. Or you can talk about some of the problems that your visitors might have in the field of interest (what your blogs talk about), and solve them.

6. Revisit the Blogs: If any changes are to be made to the blogs already written, better do it at a regular interval, or that if you are able to add some more stuff to it, then go ahead and do the required changes.
