How To Write A Bucketload Of Blogs

This is blog number 50 for me. I recently passed my first month on Medium, yesterday actually, on the 20th.

And there is one huge tip that I can give that has helped me write blog after blog, without burning out, or running out of ideas.

This tip, along with my blog style schedule is how I have written such a large number of blogs in just 31 days.

I’ll go over both below.

Blog Style Schedule

It’s important to have some sort of schedule or format for not only your blogs, but your posting times, what publications you are going to post in and the length of your articles.

Let’s break each of these down.

Format.

Your blogs should all follow a similar format, or style. If you look through mine, short or long form, they all fit a similar look. You can tell they are all written by me, which is positive, you want readers to look at your work and be like ‘oh yeah that’s Jeff’.

Post Times.

You should post at similar times each day, this helps your audience know when to expect content from you. It also helps you know when you need to produce and upload content by, keeping you in a routine.

Publications.

Make sure you find a good publication that consistently post your blogs, and ensure you mix it up from time to time, just to get your face out there.

Have a few options for both short and long form content.

Length.

I don’t think I would have been able to post as many times as I have if I was posting long form articles every time I uploaded.

I follow this formula and it has been working for me. Feel free to steal this.

Day 1: 1x short form blog + 1x long form blog

Day 2: 2x short form blog

And repeat this over and over.

How To Write Lots Of Blogs, Quick

My number 1 tip, when it comes to a high output of blogs is knowing what you are going to write next.

Yep, even while you are writing a blog, you should know what the next one is about.

And I don’t mean think about it while writing, as that will just spoil your focus… no, no, no.

Do this instead:

• Think of 5 blog ideas
• Write a title, add pictures and provide an outline (or subheadings) for each of them
• Now write 3 of them
• After that, think of 5 more and do the same again

This way, you aren’t stopping to think of blog ideas when you have nothing rattling around in your brain.

You don’t have to come in late at night and have to get to work straight away, only to stop and realise you need to think about what to write.

Simply

Write 1 long form and 1 short form for a day, then switch to 2 short form, and then alternate between the two.

And write the outlines for 5 blogs, then start working them, once you’ve burned through a few of them add some more ideas to the blog furnace.
