Wonderful post, Rachel, and great advice as always. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
ReplyI agree with the once weekly blogging schedule. I have two blogs and I was blogging once fortnightly on one blog and 2-3 times a week on the other. I’m now shifting to once weekly on each, at least partly because the audience on each blog is 50-50 (not what I had expected, but not unpleasant) so they deserve equal time.
Which is not to say I disagree on your other points, just that I have less to say on them (OK, out of character, but it’s Friday night and it’s late). I definitely agree on the daily blogging point though. I blogged daily for the A to Z Challenge, and it was HARD. It was also fun, but only because I knew there was an end to it.
ReplyWah-wah-wah. Let’s deconstruct. <– Love!
I blog a lot, too much, less about me and more about promo for authors as a way to connect. I will need to get back to writing the personal stuff after book 2. Great post though, as always

🙂 You know me, Eden. I pull no punches.
Your blog is fabulous, truly. I often send people over just to look at the layout (which I LUV) but also to see how organized you are. xo
ReplyStill working out the kinks in my blog, sadly it’s lacked focus for way too long. Thanks for the great tips, will definitely be implementing them!
Replyquite welcome, Debora. There’s a lot to blogging, but it’s really a quite simple model: open up a new page and write.
My next post will be about blogging tips I’ve gleaned over the years.
ReplyGreat post, Rachel! Just when I was beginning to debate if blogging was worth it, too!
ReplyThanks, Ilana. I truly do love blogging but more than that, it’s a great connector in this great big wide world. It takes thought and effort, but it’s worth it for growth.
My opinion, anyway 🙂
ReplyI was one of those authors who resisted blogging. Between writing, promoting, and networking, I just didn’t think I had the time. I have to say that my blog is one of my favorite things now. I really enjoy sharing, and it really has been a great way to interact with others. Great info as always Rachel!
ReplyExcellent points, Rachel. I love what you say about key wording and being organic. The blogging life is weekly for me and I love reaching people that way, hearing opinions, thoughts, what others think. It’s a more open platform. Love.
