Have Blog - Now What?

Working in the internet bussiness industry (web design, seo, marketing, etc.) I am often asked what to do to get 'your' name and 'your' business in front of potential clients /customers. After a web site I always recommed setting up a blog. About 90% of my clients are thrilled with the idea and I set up a blog for them... then... yes, silence.

Now I know that I am not a great example at blogging (see the last time I posted) - but I have a good excuse - I'm working :)) Ok, not a 'good excuse', but the truth.

So what can you do when you have a blog and can't seem to find the time, or the content. After thinking about what I do on my lunch break (which is in front of my computer) I came up with the answer.

Take 5 minutes out of your day and just write about what's new with you. Don't think readers will be interested? Well, in fact, it is amazing how many blogs are at the top of searches just from talking about "what's new". For example, on my lunch break I grab a cup of soup and read through emails I have received from forums I belong to, newsletters I have signed for, and unauthorized spam :))) Ok, so maybe forget the spam, but the little tib-bits you get from other emails you receive can be worth their weight in gold on a blog.

Not at your computer on a lunch break? Well then how about posting about your day just before you read your email after you get home. I know, probably the last thing you want to do. But in fact if you start to do it every day by two weeks you it will feel normal, by 30 days it will be a routine.

So... have a blog - now what? Now you write!
