    Greeting to all,

    I registerd a blog 2 months ago & had all the plan of taking it to great hights.

    I am working in a Software compay. But the day I bought it, the very next day work started poring inn and so much so that I have almost forgot its name.

    Does the same happen with anyone of you? How do u keep yourself motivated to write everyday... despite the normal work.

    Regards,
    sprtie.

    Of course it happens, my blogs are my pride and joy on the internet, first thing I visit is them. You just have to put time into blogging, sometimes during school I'd wake an hour earlier to blog on each of my blogs (10), just to keep them updated everyday. I wake up early to make a post because later in the day I likely would have coursework or work and then it'd be another excuse to not make a post.

    I focus my mind to blog one alternate day every week or make 15 posts in a month total. I basically focus on one blog and managing two is just impossible for me.

    Yes I can manage 20 blogs too but with that much blog my overall quality will decrease for sure. Hence my focus is on one thing and one thing only. Its really not discipline, its the motivation that keeps me going cause there a lot of times when I miss alternate days of posting you know, but I make it up with it the next week, or the next week so that the overall count is always around 15/month.

    If you're using Wordpress, you don't have to work on the blog everyday. When you get the urge to write, do as many as you can and set them to drip on different days of the week. Then do again in a week or so.

    Or you can hire a writer to do it for you ;)

    Hit me up if you need one.

    Actually thats how I started. I got too busy to write my own so I hire my sister and now there are 4 writers that work for me.

    Good luck!

    It helps if your single, dont have a social life and work for yourself. :)

    I still fight constantly against the clock everyday to fit things in but so far keeping up with my blogs, as well as other types of sites.

    I have my blog over 1.5+ years now and i post daily or every 2/3 days. My blog is doing pretty good with 1100+ readers a day but it started out with 0 readers so just keep on writing and i'm sure you can make something good out of it.

    It also helps if you write about things that people like to read and that you like to blog about ;)
