Feel Too Lazy To Post? 5 Ways To Publish Regularly

A common issue that bloggers face is that they are unable to create and publish posts regularly. The reason behind it could be the shortage of time. This is a valid reason for whom blogging is a part time gig. However, full time bloggers, whether you are a Steemit content creator or have your own domain, do not have an excuse.

There may also be times when you are traveling or are on vacation due to which you don't have the time to create content. You could be having a bout of sickness for a few days. It could even be your computer or wifi that had broken down due to which you cannot post.

Some reasons may not have solution due to unforeseen circumstances but if it is because you are really busy with other things or then sheer laziness - there are some ways by which you can make sure that you blog regularly. In fact you can publish every day if you really wish to!

Planning Topics

Creating a list of topics to post on is the best way to ensure that you do not run out of topics. For example you can make a note of a topic that comes to you as an idea when you are away from your computer. I have my smartphone notepad always handy on which I keep making notes of ideas that come to my mind.

It becomes easy to start creating content when you have your topic ready.

Take Your Time

If you find it difficult to keep a notepad, create time during the week to plan. Sit down and create a list of posts that you are going to create during the next week. At the beginning of each week you will have a list of topics ready to write on everyday.

Sparing a few minutes each week for this exercise will prove to be so useful later!

Prepare Drafts

You can take your planning a step ahead by making a draft of your posts in advance. It is easy to keep writing when you are in a flow. You may sit down to write one 500-word post but find that you can continue easily, taking the next topic and creating a post around it.

I have created several posts at the same time in a few hours. However I have not published more than twice a day since our publishing too frequently has its drawbacks.

Keep A Calendar

I have noticed many bloggers who come and go as they feel like. By this I mean publishing a few posts in a week and then disappearing for a long time before they're back again. This will confuse your followers and they will stop following you.

Keep a calendar for marking off when you post content so that you don't miss too many days of posting on your blog. It is a psychological trick that you can use to be more consistent with publishing on your blog.

Auto Scheduling

Not many might know this but you can also auto schedule posts using some free tools that are available. For example you can use Steemauto.com to set a timer that will publish a post on the day and time chosen by you. All you have to do is to pre-feed the post and set the timer, and the tool will do the needful.

Another app that does the same thing is the eSteem app which you can download on your smartphone. The eSteem app even upvotes a new post published using the app, although I have observed that it does not do so each time. Probably it depends upon the app's voting power which keeps fluctuating according to how much it is used for upvoting.

I hope the tips above help you post regularly. Here's wishing you great success on Steemit!
