Matt Levenhagen blog post reprint (with permission):
There is one thing about Blogging that you all need to know. It takes commitment. You have to decide if you’re going to blog once per day, once per week, or every so often. For the sake of those reading your Blog…
I compare it to this. I worked as a bartender for almost 10 years while searching for opportunity. A tavern I worked for quit a few years had a good philosophy that can be applied to Blogs…
In Wisconsin taverns must close by law at 2:00Am during the week or 2:30Am on the weekends. Now if business is slow or you have no one in your restaurant or bar at 12:01Am, should you close?
The answer is no. If you have someone that same evening you close early travel 20 miles to go to your establishment and it’s closed, the next time that person wants to go to a tavern at that time of day will go somewhere else… and this time he’s bringing 10 of his friends!
You should stick to your hours no matter what… you could potentially lose business. Build a reputation for being there when people need you.
Same things goes for Blogs. If you blog everyday, don’t miss a day. People start to depend on it or expect your Blogging. If they stop by and you haven’t entered a Blog in a few days, they might not come back…
I’m working on this myself. I just missed a few days. It is my intention to Blog everyday. When I don’t, I try to make up for it with a couple postings in one day.
Sometimes what we want to do and what we can do are two different things. I am busy with my businesses so sometimes it’s hard to do… it shouldn’t be hard… even a 2 minute blirp is better than nothing… I’ll work on it.
Take Care!
