Posted on 23. Apr, 2010 by Ashwin in Blogging motivation

Weekends are usually relaxing times for most people. However, bloggers would have made little sacrifices already or you soon will. Instead of relaxing, you could do certain things to pump up your blog activity, prepare for the week ahead, bring in certain steps to make more money for yourself or at least sit and make a plan about it all. Here are some times to get your weekends to work for you and a list of things you could be doing to make your blog better than it al ready is:

Plan for the posts ahead: Weekends are a great time to sit down and put your thoughts about what posts you would like to address the following week. The titles and the angle you would like to take; handful of keyword and general research, `pick and collect any posts or external content you would like to link to, think of about the meta tags, meta descriptions and the like that have to go out with each posts, etc. By doing this on weekends, you not only benefit from a relaxed mind and also prepare well for the week ahead of you.

Weekend promotions: What’s better than to relax, sit in your lounge or on your couch, sip coffee and promote your blog without any pressure whatsoever? Two full days of browsing could very well be accompanied by some heavy promotions using free methods such as forum postings, posting comments on other blogs, getting a few emails out to otgher bloggers trying to get yourself a guest blogging gig or two — who says weekends have to be ‘days of doing nothing’?

Relax and get away from the computer: Blogging consistently can be a frenzied endeavor. It is very important that you take your time off the computer and head to some offline scenes like the gym, a weekend getaway, a relaxed stay at home, catch up with a movie DVD, read a book leisurely. Get off the mundane and do something interesting — perhaps you could join a local club, attend a meet-up, catch up with your loved ones. Chill out; life’s isn’t always about blogging.
