The hardest part about blogging is not dazzling up the website, putting together the three to five posts in your article, or advertising your posts. No, the hardest part of blogging is coming up with the articles themselves. Many bloggers quit because of this very reason and others become burnt out without having fresh material every day. One of the best ways to battle this and put together great blog articles is to use the understanding of blog post series.
Here are some points for you to make your own blogging series:
- Pick the Theme
You need to come up with a big overarching blogging idea that may have to cover a week or more of posts. Do not think specifics at this point, but high in the sky type of topics. If broad enough, you will be easily able to identify several posts. - Keep It Separate
A tough part about writing a blogging series is knowing when to talk about one thing and not repeating it over and over. Try to keep from writing the same thing over and over again. If you find that this may be the case, it may actually be a whole other post. - Have a Table of Contents
As you are writing these posts, have a table of contents that is a base for all of these other posts and link to the individual articles. This will organize your thoughts and most likely encourage people to visit all of your posts and therefore increase traffic.
Do you have any blog series that you have done?
