Blogging efficiency

by Gert Mellak on January 7, 2009

Blogging success is always directly related to having an awful lot of time. Well, the truth is, it doesn’t have to.

Yesterday I came across a great article on ProBlogger about how to grow your blog although you only have 1-2 hours a day to work on it.

The main idea is to set yourself a time limit each day, let’s say an hour or two, but at least half an hour. Then you assure you’re using this time as efficient as possible for the work on your blog, but also for establishing relations with other bloggers by commenting on their blog or working on your reputation in the social media field.

According to Leo Babauta of Zen Habits, these are the essential when it comes to blogging efficiency:

1. Writing outstanding articles

2. Linking, and link-bait

3. Guest posts

4. Commenting

5. Email and networking

And these are likely time killers that should be reduced to a minimum:

1. Blog stats and earnings

2. Ad networks

3. Blog design

4. Blog memes

5. Reading lots of other blogs

6. Plugins and widgets

7. Social media

Just in case you’re looking for a cool time logging application, check out mite!

How efficient is your blogging?
