Q and A: How Can I Blog Better and Faster?

I wrote Blog About This to answer the first part of that question. Then the question was modified with the second part to help people learn to manage multiple blogs. I did a seminar turned video for this called The Art of Speed Blogging – a project I meant to finish last year, but just kept growing out of control.

From those two experiences, I found out the hard way that there isn’t one quick answer to this question. But I do have a few tips.

You can:

  • Blog Ahead – Have posts on standby in anticipation of busy times.
  • Have Guest Bloggers or a Group Blog
  • Blog Behind – Do a compliation post of links to articles you’ve written that are all on the same topic.
  • Do Little Known News Coverage – People often read blogs to get insight they can’t get elsewhere. You can do a quick update of things you’re reading – online or offline – that are of interest to your readers.
  • Get Voice recognition software – I use Dragon Naturally Speaking sometimes. You talk twice as fast as you type, and Dragon will produce for you at the speed of talk. The latest version worked pretty good for me out of box. But you’ll have to train it a bit to recognize slang and technical terms.
  • no, just testing out new themes. I keep forgetting that I'm on the East coast now, which means it's only 8ish on the West coast, LOL... I put it back to the old theme. Refresh the page. :) I'll play with it later.
  • How do you train the Dragon to do one of those winks ;) ... I simply keep a list of about 1001 things I'm thinking about or looking for. I typically use del.icio.us to create the list and go back and review the list constantly and eventually write something.
