Climbing Blog Mountain

When you get a few days (or a few weeks) behind on blogging, getting started again can seem a daunting task. You want to get back at it … really, really want to get back at it, but having lost your momentum, it becomes a mountain to climb. Thankfully, most of that’s just in your head (or in this case, mine).

A recent post on Remarkablogger provided inspiration and encouragement. He lists ten ways to crank out “killer” blog posts in ten minutes or less. Obviously, that’s not something I’m accustomed to, but it did provide the inspiration to get moving today. Ten minutes? I can do that!

Suggestion #1 is to pick three blogs you respect and introduce your readers to them. Ok, one down … Remarkablogger. Michael Martine provides helpful, insightful posts on blogging, and has a knack for getting his readers involved in the comments.

Kimberly Bock of Learning SEO Basics has just redesigned her blog. As her name suggests, look to her for the basics in SEO education. She spells it out in layman’s language because she cares that you understand exactly what she’s talking about. Her post on how to write title tags is a good example of what you’ll find on her blog.

Junta42 blog is all about content marketing. It’s another favorite, one I rarely miss. A recent post looked at Monster.com’s content strategy, which is directly related to their position as a trusted solutions provider for the jobs market. The lesson in this post can and should be applied to every business: “It’s too risky NOT to publish valuable content marketing information to your customers and prospects.”

In the interest of keeping this short and sweet, that’s it for today. Now it’s your turn. What are you going to quickly write about today?
