One of the big differences between a successful blogger and a blogger who struggles is … outsourcing.
You simply won’t find a successful blog whose owner doesn’t outsource tasks and responsibilities. You have way too much on your plate if you attempt to run your blog by yourself. Unless you start out blogging with a couple of years of living expense capital in your pocket, you will be blogging part-time.
This means you have to work a full-time job while you try to build your presence online. You also have time-consuming commitments and responsibilities which include your friends and family. Perhaps you volunteer or donate your time to a worthy cause. You may be the one in charge of running your household, which is another huge time investment.

You absolutely must have a plan for your blogging activities. As you already know if you currently run a blog, there is a lot to get done. You have daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly tasks, and you can easily become overwhelmed if you don’t create and stick to a blogging schedule. By the way, this means more than just scheduling the publishing of new posts.
The first thing you need to understand is that you should focus on quality content instead of quantity. Publishing 10 or 20 really great, high-quality posts each year is always preferable to turning out 50 or even 100 low-quality, filler and fluff-filled pieces of content. Remember, everything with your name attached to it creates a sense of who you are on the web.

Knowing when to publish is just as important as what to publish. Publish an incredible piece of content at the wrong time, and you are missing out on a lot of traffic. That’s why you need a set schedule for publishing your blog post. As far as writing your post, you should get in the habit of setting aside one day a week for this task. You want to spend several hours on a single post, and should have no other distractions.
