No, that’s not a typo in the the title, it’s deliberate! Sort of a writer’s artistic license to mess with grammar in order to catch the attention of the reader.

I love blog comments, because sometimes they provide me with exactly the right fodder for fueling another post, in those times of brain fug when I can’t think of what to write about next!

In my last post, I mentioned the nine blogs that I own, well that’s only the surface ones. There are a lot more lying on free blogging hosts that I do keep fairly up to date as well as a whole brace of new blogs that I’m in the process of putting together as affiliate niche money makers.

But that’s not the subject of this post.

In the comments of my last post I was asked how on earth I keep up with the writing for so many blogs as well as write articles as a freelancer AND keep on top of so many sites? Monika is just as hard working, I can assure you! So how do we do it?

I think Monika and myself have gotten into a writing frame of mind where we can type away and come up with a lot of good stuff without it seeming to be a chore. That’s how we squeeze it all into a normal day.

For myself, I don’t write for all my blogs every day. Not possible!!!

I try to keep my main blog at The Honest Way posted daily and here in this blog of course, but the others go two or three days between posts which makes it possible to keep them relatively fresh. That way I can keep building more whilst tweaking around with the ones I’ve already got.

I find that commenting in other blogs as well as forums also takes up quite a bit of time, but it’s so worth doing it to keep my profile high and of course attract other bloggers to my blogs and sites!

So the secret to writing large volumes of content is to get into the habit of doing it every day. The more you write and the more often you do it, the more you find you can write. It becomes more of a habit to be clacking away at the keyboard than not!

Of course it helps to have an interest in what you’re writing about. Trying to write about something that holds absolutely no interest for you whatsoever can end up being a real chore. That’s when writing can seem hard work and slow, so the best advice is really to write about what interests you. If you write for a living and find you tend to take on every writing gig that you see, then you’re going to burn out by forcing yourself to write the stuff you don’t like.

Better to turn some of it away even if it means losing some money than to lose it all by getting writer’s burn-out and not being able to write for anything.

So if you’re ever stuck for ideas about what to write about, go visit some other blogs and see what other bloggers are writing to get some inspiration.

And don’t forget to read the comments - sometimes there’s more inspiration in there than you’d think!
