8 Tips for Busy Bloggers – How to Make the Most of Your Time

Hi Reader!

How's your week been? Busy?

This week I've been juggling my kids' online schooling with producing the learning materials for our upcoming Content Sprint. It starts in 3 days.

Quote for the week:

“Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ball park. Aim for the company of immortals.”
– David Ogilvy

Think big! While there’s also something to be said for having realistic expectations about what you can achieve with a blog, there’s nothing wrong with having big dreams and aiming to make them a reality.

It can be a bit of a balancing act, but if you aim a little higher you might just find yourself achieving things with your blog that you might not have thought possible.


Juggling time to blog with other things in your life is one of the most common challenges that bloggers experience, including me. I’ve spent a lot of effort myself trying to get better at managing my time. In today’s article, I share eight tips and strategies you can use to make fitting blogging into your life less stressful.

In 3 days we start our second (in a series of three) 7-Day Content Sprints. If you're feeling stuck, running short of ideas and need some inspiration, join 400 other bloggers to produce 6 pieces of content in 7-days.

Blogging Q&A: Live #AskMeAnything

This afternoon I went Live to take ProBlogger reader/listener/viewer questions on all things blogging, including:
  • Have you personally found having a podcast makes a big difference to your overall ProBlogger presence? I'm wondering do people perceive you even more of an expert when you have more than just a blog.
  • What's the best way to keep a blog going when you write for others to pay the bills and it takes up most of your mental energy?
  • I started my blog 2 and half month back and I am receiving impressions only. How can I get clicks? How can I improve?
Catch the replay to hear my answers to these and more.

Last year I videoed a live training day with hundreds of bloggers to develop a learning program which covered the essential foundations of a successful blog.
