can be stressful
but most times the
stress level
depends on your
niche. Tech
Bloggers get to do
a lot of stressful
work, from
replying
comments and
emails to
uploading roms
and writing
reviews of devices.
Most comments
on Tech Blogs are
usually from
people seeking
clarification about
something on the
post or requesting
for something.
I used tech here as
a case study
because it's my
niche.
I'm a student of
Uniport so I can
clearly understand
how blogging and
school work can
weigh you down.
Here are 5
strategies I use to
reduce the stress.
1. Don't Search
For News, Let
The News Come
To You
This is the best
way to get latest
updates without
stressing yourself
and going round
tons of websites to
get stories. An
RSS feed reader
can help you do
this. Simply add
the feed URL of all
the top sites in
your niche to the
feed reader. Once
there's a new story
you get it instantly.
No stress.
2. Schedule
Posts For The
Future
Assuming you
have a lot of
lectures during the
week and you
won't have
enough chance to
make posts every
day you can
simply make the
posts on
weekends then
schedule it to post
at any day of the
week. Blogger and
WordPress have
this feature, it'll
help you keep
your readers
updated while you
attend to other
relevant activities.
3. Let The
Internet Work
For You
You may wonder
how you'll be able
to share your
posts if you
schedule posts. It's
very simple
I don't bother
myself about
sharing posts
unless if I want to
share it on
Instagram or
Google Plus
Communities. Use
IFTTT to
automatically share
your blog posts to
Facebook,
LinkedIn, Twitter,
Pinterest, Reddit
and a whole lot of
other websites. If
you have a
Facebook group,
Hootsuite can
handle the posting
on the group.
4.Get Someone
To Help You Run
Your Blog
Automation can do
everything for you
but a human touch
always stands out
from work done
by just
computers. It's
quite possible your
RSS feed reader
may not cover
everything you
need to know
because you didn't
add as many sites
as possible. In this
case, you can
employ someone
to post for you
either on a weekly
or daily basis if
you have the cash.
You can also offer
the person an
incentive like free
data subscription
every month.
5.Set A Schedule
For Replying To
Comments
You won't be on
the PC or Phone
24/7. I hardly use
my laptop to blog
these days. I find it
easier using my
smartphone so it's
possible you may
also like using your
smartphone. Set a
specific time
schedule to reply
to Comments. This
will keep your
readers engaged
and know when to
come back and get
a reply to their
questions.
This is my 5 point
strategy of
reducing blogging
stress as a student.
It helps me have
time for myself
and school as
well.
Hope you learnt
something new
today. I'd like to
know ways you're
using to reduce the
blogging stress?
