KEEP YOUR BLOGGING TIME EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT
If I’m in a writing mood but not anywhere near my computer, I will write up a note on my phone. Sometimes the wording I want for a post just comes to me, so I like to get it down while it’s in my head. Saves me trying and failing to remember it later.
Trying to make your writing sound more professional or formal takes time. People read your blog because they like way you talk. They connect with you as if it’s a conversation. If you write your posts as if you’re saying them to a friend, they will flow naturally and most importantly, quickly!Write About What YOU Want to Write About
Don’t get caught up thinking ‘this post will get me lots of clicks’ or ‘everyone is blogging about this so I should too’. If you write about your own ideas, your own passions, then it will be an easy write.
Finally, I just want to say that while all these tips are about being efficient and actually blogging…if you don’t feel like blogging, then don’t! We all lose our mojo at some point and feel like we ‘need’ to blog, but your readers will still be there. Take your time and don’t push it! It’s just a blog after all. Did I just write that?!
Do you have any tips for blogging efficiently? I’d love to hear them so please leave a comment.

This series was great Abby! All this stuff is very inspiring. I have no organisation or plan, I get caught up in trying to blog what I ‘think’ I should blog, then with kids and life… It is not very easy! Thanks for giving all your pointers x
