6 Blog Efficiency Tips

As a blogger everyone wants to be more efficient whether they know it or not. 90% of all blogger’s do not blog as their full-time job. That means that most blogger’s need to be efficient otherwise you will not get much done in the day. Here are six tips I have for you to be more efficient so that you can be more productive everyday you work on your blog.

1. Have an idea journal

This is good because every time you get an idea for a post or anything else, you can just write it down. Too many times you are not around your computer and you forget an idea you have. Then when you need a post idea it will be right there in front of you. You will not have to take 15 to 30 minutes to think of an idea and plan it out. You already have your idea and plan written down in your journal. You should then be able to type up a post in 15 minutes.

2. Limit your reading time

Try to only takes 15 minutes every day to read other posts on the Internet. You should not take too much time reading tips and other things. Pick out a few of the best blogs and get new ideas from their posts everyday. You can only get so many tips everyday so 15 minutes should definitely give you enough time to read.

3. Track your traffic

This will tell you if you are doing things correctly or not. You never want to be doing a whole bunch of work and it’s not helping make your blog more successful. Use the plugin I talked about in my post track your SEO performance. It will show you what articles are getting traffic and from what websites were search engines. This will show you if you’re techniques are working.

4. Learn keyboard shortcuts

Learning keyboard shortcuts will make you what a more efficient. Whether it is for your browser or WordPress, you will definitely get things done quicker. Just go to Google and type Firefox shortcuts or whatever kind of shortcuts who were looking for.

5. Stop distractions

This is definitely a must. Turn the TV off, radio, video games, and everything else that is distracting. You will be much more efficient if you are only concentrating on your blog. What I have done is put my computer in a room where there is no TV or anything else that could distract me.

6. Do most important items first

You might as forget your most important things done so that you can help the blog right away. Being more efficient and productive definitely doesn’t mean getting the crap done first. The important things have got it down so you can continue to climb the ladder.

I know most of these are just basic common sense, but so many times people forget about them. If you just forget to turn the TV off it can definitely slow you down as you continue to look up and watch little bits. Make sure you do these things everyday as you work on your blog and you will definitely continue to see improvements.
