Slacking on the Celebrity news front

by

I just realized that I haven’t been writing in my Celebrity blog Celebrity Scoop at all! I used to write at least three posts a day there, but in the last few weeks I’ve barely written anything.

I think I’ve just been too busy with my other sites, and well web hosting woes. Actually I think the web hosting woes are the main cause of my not getting over to some of my blogs in a more timely manner.

Now that my hosting problems have hopefully been resolved I should be getting over there more often – daily I hope!

So if you like keeping up on celebrity gossip please do drop by, I promise there will be something interesting to read when you visit.





Back in business

by

Well it looks like I got side railed on my getting organized plan. As you probably know my sites were unavailable through the weekend and for the most part until sometime Tuesday for most people.

I’ve still had a few problems with my sites – had to change web hosts since my previous web host did something totally nasty – so I’m only just getting started catching up on posts.

I hope to spend the next couple of day writing up draft posts for most of my blogs – in my spare time (what is spare time anyway?) as it really does make it easier to be sure that you are able to post at least once a day. Just pick from your drafts if you don’t have time to write a whole new post.

Hopefully I’ll have some interesting new posts over the next few days!

Sorry again that my sites were down. I’m very relieved that they are back up again.

Blogging – getting organized and Schmoozing

by

As many of you likely know I have a number of blogs.

The majority of my blogs are well over a year old – so don’t be thinking I created my blogs to make money. No, I created them to divide up the various topics that I was interested in talking about regularly into blogs of their own.

When I first did that, and every time that I mention that I did that people think I might have cut my readership down by spreading out my blogs. I haven’t. I’ve increased readership all round because those that are only interested in particular topics can focus on the blogs that I created about those niche topics rather than digging from one or two main blogs that talk about ALL the things I enjoy or that I’m passionate about.

As my blogs have gained in readership I’ve been spending more time developing the sites and interacting with those who leave comments. This has actually taken time away from blogging and has made it harder for me to post in some of the blogs on a regular basis.

When I wasn’t quite as busy I’d take the time to write up a few extra draft posts on each site that I could use whenever I needed or set in advance to auto-publish so that the blogs always had at least one post a day.

I was to get organized and start doing that again. It really helps!

If this sounds like a good idea to you, I think what those of us with multiple blogs need to do is set aside at least one or two hours each day to write up a couple of extra posts on a few of our blogs. In no time at all you’ll have a stalk of draft posts just waiting to be published.

When most of your blogs have some drafts backed up you can then take a bit more time to get out and visit other bloggers sites or spend some time promoting your sites on directories.

schmooze.jpg One of my blogging friends, RennyBA recently gave me a Schmoozing Award the other day. I don’t think he gave it to me because I buzz around promoting my sites. I think it was more because I try to build communities with my blogrolls and make posts like this every once in a while with the aim of helping others with their blogging. Now if he’d given me this award last year it would have been for commenting because I think I regularly visited about 200 sites a day leaving comments on most!

Anyway, back to the point of this post. Help your self with posting and organizing your time by writing up some extra posts that you can save as drafts when you either have the time or when you are in a writing mode. Believe me, it will give you more time to schmooze and promote your site … or simply to relax!

Meme’d to death

by

Do you do memes?

I keep getting tagged on my main blog Tricia’s Musings. I think in the last six months I’ve been tagged with the 5 things and 8 things memes at least 20 times each and I’ve done them in total as many as 5 or 6 times.

Honest there’s nothing much more to know about me that I haven’t already said in the “thing” memes I’ve already done.

Memes can be fun and they help you socialize and network with other bloggers, but this one’s been done to death. Give me something new that hasn’t been going around for the last year and I’ll probably do it.

Changing advertising trends?

by

It seems that over the last few days I’ve been on a writing frenzy. I can’t keep up.

I’m not complaining. By no means am I complaining at all. It’s just that I keep getting link requests, article requests, offers to send me samples, and private offers from big affiliate companies. I’m quite happy that all of this is happening, but it’s hitting all at once. How’s a girl to adjust???

Since the work has been coming to me I’ve barely been looking for work in my usual paid blogging haunts. They’ve been a little slow lately anyway which makes all the private offers I’ve been getting all the more surprising.

Perhaps internet advertising trends are changing?

Has anyone else noticed an increase in private offers? Surely a few of you must be getting some new action as well.
