11 Tips About Blogging (plus 1 bonus)

This is a quick one. In and out. They're rules I live by as a full time real estate blogger (part of my job description) going into the sixth year. (Of course, there's much more under the surface of these icebergs.)

So here you go with...

11 tips about blogging (plus 1 bonus):

#1: I remember it’s the boss and company I'm representing.
#2: I shut out distractions so I can think.
#3: I let my writing “simmer” overnight. (To read "Blogging and Grandma's Sauce," click here.)
#4: I write and write and write some more.
#5: I read and read and read some more.
#6: I press through writer’s block and brain freeze. (To read "Beating Blogger’s Block," click here.)
#7: I don’t expect perfection.
#8: I am myself and happy with it.
#9: I see a potential post in everything around me.
#10: I "try" to stay a week ahead. (Approx 3 or 4 posts.)
#11: I write "tight." KISS: Keep it simple, silly. (I changed it to that last word. ;P)

BONUS: I understand the day sugarpinerealty.blogspot.com gets the most visits (Monday-Wednesday ~ clickable picture above left) and at what time (8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Pacific USA every day ~ clickable picture above right) and capitalize on it (by tweeting blog post urls).

Thanks for that. I tend to have a problem letting posts rest over night. My tendency is to want to "get it out there"—after all, I wrote it for people to read. But I've never once left a piece overnight and upon re-reading it fired it off without some changes.

Thanks for the insights.
