The Blogger Mom

Dark Room will help you
focus on your writing.

There are so many things you can do with a computer, all at the same time, that certain high priority tasks can be affected. I do believe that multitasking is great, when well-manged. The thing is, web workers can be distracted because of the many activities which can be done with a computer and the internet – instant messaging, social networking, bloghopping. These distractions can be very hard to resist.

If your work is centered in creating content, then you must always, always be focused. Writing web content, sales pitches, feature articles and blog posts is no joke. I know this because this is what I do for a living. Writing can be draining, that sometimes distractions are most welcome. But of course that is unproductive (and dangerous, because you can lose your job idling around :p).

As a blogger, it is your responsibility to create fresh, relevant and exciting content for your readers. If we leave your blog unupdated for long periods of time, your readers will think that your blog has died.

I should know. I was once a delinquent blogger.

A few years ago, when I was fresh out of high school, I maintained a personal blog that has gained some measure of success. I enjoyed the popularity, for a while. Somehow life got in the way and I did not update as often as I used to, as often as my readers would have expected from me. Then my readers began to visit less and less, until I fell off the blogosphere.

Somehow the death of my angsty teenage blog came as some sort of relief to me because it was so full of the childish whining and college drama that I would rather forget. LOL.

However, if your blog is something worth reading, something helpful and relevant then NEVER LET IT DIE A SLOW DEATH. Keep your blog updated with fresh content and remember to post entries that will serve your readers. Make your blog useful to people and they will surely come back for more.

How do you keep your blog from dying? How do you build your blog’s content?

I love blogging. I have been blogging on and off since 2002, and, since then, I have reaped the benefits of blogging.

Blogging has benefits?! Of course, it has. It’s not only the bloggers contributing pieces of themselves to the community. Blogging also gives something back to the blogger. For the past seven years, I am happy to say that I have benefited a lot from blogging.

Is The Blogger Mom another blog about blogging?

Yes and No.

Yes, because this blog will definitely showcase everything you need to know about blogging – blogging practices, publishing platforms, tools, the different ways of promoting blogs, and of course, networking with other blogs and their respective bloggers.

No, because this blog will NOT JUST talk about blogging, but about other online activities that will help you enrich your virtual life – from online productivity tools, web 2.0 applications, social networking, internet marketing, making money online and Search Engine Optimization.
