Blogging and a Full-Time Job: Do They Mix?
Filed Under Lessons | Leave a Comment
I recently started a new full-time job after blogging full-time for several months, and it certainly is a challenge to keep my six blogs going while doing an 8 to 5 and complete my MBA. If you are in the same boat, here are a few things that help me keep up.
- Getting up early to blog. The very first hours of my day are spent in a creative zone. Writing good content is a creative endeavor, and I tend to be mentally tuned to that vibe early in the day. You may be different, so if possible, try to use that time of day to blog.
- Gathering and noting ideas for posts all damn day. The ideas are out there, just hanging from the trees ready for picking. If I am sharp enough to notice them, and disciplined enough to pick them, I will have lots for fresh ideas to flesh out once I sit down to write.
- Use commuting time to write…or rather record. Unless you ride a train to work, you can’t actually write, but you can speak into a microphone. A small digital recorder can be a valuable investment. I drive 45 minutes each way to work and back, so thats an hour and a half of time either wasted or used effectively.
- Work at work. When I’m there, I’m there in spirit as well as in body. Don’t cheat your employer or you’ll have to find a new one.
- Expect to be successful. The day will come when I will be able to make all the money I want or need solely from blogging. When that day comes, I’m not sure if I’ll quit my day job or not, but at least I’ll have that option. I am confident about my future.
Head on over to dumb little man for some more excellent tips on pulling this off.
