This was an interesting post. I don't know that I'm at a point in my blogging that I could structure myself in such a way, but I really like the concept and in the future I may try to implement a similar blogging structure. Thanks for sharing! Mike Wiltons last blog post..The Parts Play Out In Your Head

@Raymond – it’s not about how much you get done in the time frame as much as holding to the time frame and being okay with what you do get done in it.

And, as I said above, I do take more time now between writing, linking, social media and commenting on blogs I have relationships with. But I can justify the time because it’s my sole source of marketing my business.

Wow…I don’t know how you get all that done in 90 minutes…it takes me hours each day to accomplish all of my blog related tasks!

Very interesting blog you have here, and some equally interesting pointers. I’m still new to the whole socialization of blogging and your article will aide in the quest to get things organized and get moving forward. Recently laid off, I’m balancing work searches with blogging and raising two teens. Any advice to steer one in the right direction on time management is always a plus! Thanks for sharing and continued success!

Ben brings up a great point at the importance of headlines. They are huge…

Gayla…I don’t spend 90 minutes any more. Now it’s more like 3 hours a day – plus my client load. I wouldn’t expect you, with all your success, to be able to spend so little time blogging.

I wish I could cut mine down to 90 minutes a day. Just about the time I free up a bunch of time, I find other ways to fill it up again

These are some great ideas, D. I know you’ve shared them with me before, but thanks â€” this is really pithy.

I’m taking a long, hard look at my routine, since posting usually takes a lot longer for me. I’m questioning some of my choices, and this template you’ve given us helps me evaluate what I’m doing (and what I should stop doing).

You da man!

Dawud – I like the approach. No question almost everyone struggles with finding a good routine that works for them.

Lately, with the craziness of my life, my routine is largely shot, but the more people can get into one, the better.

Two things stood out for me:

1. How you twigged to HEADLINES of interest and dug further, showing how important headlines really are; and,

2. How you tried to put as much effort into commenting RIGHT THEN AND THERE. I think that’s great; you didn’t comment willy nilly, later on, whenever you felt like it. It was a concerted, time sensitive effort. That makes a lot of sense to really get comments out the door.

I really need to implement something like this. I have no real plan and sometimes find I’m spending all day reading blogs and getting nothing else done. Sometimes I don’t even post anything because I spent so much time reading. Then I’m running to catch up with all the stuff I should’ve been doing – in real life.

Maybe I should set some kind of timer in the future.

Creating a workflow, I’ve found, is key to blogging success. Otherwise you just spend the whole day blogging and don’t get any work done – and sometimes little blogging done as well.

Thank you Thank you!!! Being new to this world of blogging I needed some advice on time managment. I have my blog set up with a daily schedule as to what I write about but this has given me good advice on how to manage my actual time. Now I really need to tackle the social networking.

I really need to work on this one. I spend too much time doing too little.

@lornadoone – I can’t stress enough how important I feel it is to find a manageable workflow for blogging. One that meets you needs and lets you expand as opportunities arise.

@Vahid – comment on other’s blogs.

@Rita – thanks

@Susan – do what you can – but do it well and do it consistently. That’s the key to blog success.

Thank you Dawud.

Great post! I wondered how long others took on their blog. 1-2 hours per day is about what I spend reading my feeds and posting. Thanks for the article!

I should start following your advice! I schedule in my Outlook the days I need to write a post (3x a week). But I find it hard to devote more time to my blog given that I also run Egg Marketing. Once I’m rolling in it from my blog, I’ll be able to put more time into it (yes, I realize the Catch 22 of that!)

Thanks Dawud!

I have come across one of the fastest ways of browsing blogs on a particular topic.

Hi Dawud,

In the last stage which is commenting, do you answer the comments of your own weblog or post comments on other weblogs?

Best regards,
Vahid

I find that I spend so much time reading other blogs and creating my own posts, that I’m actually scared to get very involved in social networking. I mean, if I’m already reading so many that it’s eating up my day, what’s going to happen when I start getting sucked into more and more? I have got to figure out how to balance it all out!
