I’ve had quite a few questions and comments about how I am able to post so many blog entries across so many blogs while working two-four jobs without getting burnt out and without losing my edge, etc. It’s quite simple… Advance Posting. There are alot of benefits to advanced posting that I’ve picked up in my time blogging. Here’s a few.
- Consistency - Search engines as well as readers like to get regular content. Search engines, especially, place a higher value on regularly updated sites than hit-or-miss sites. When blogging, try to avoid the start-stop approach to blogging.
- Getting the most out of Pings - My friend, Jayvee, over at Cellphone9 pointed this one out to me. In order to optimize my content for the most exposure, I try to spread my entries out at least 30 minutes apart. Most blog tools, including WordPress, send out “pings” or notifications to sites like Technorati or Google to alert them to new content. The problem is that alot of these services have strict intervals of time between allowed pings. This is to prevent them from overloading their systems. If I post twice in 15 minutes, the second entry is likely to be ignored. By advance posting, I can optimize the exposure I recieve on the big boards. As an example, The Not So Free State has almost universally been pre-scheduled entries and has begun quite a rapid growth.
- Out of Sight, Out of Mind - while it is not realistic to really have any of my blogs out of mind, it is beneficial to sit down on Sunday night (or whenever) and schedule 7 posts in advance for the week… one for each day. That frees me up to post other relvant content at my leisure without feeling the pressure of posting at least once a day on each blog.
- Understanding Reading Trends - I look at my stats, though not as religiously as I should, so I know that most of my readers are in North America (typical for most blogs, I’d guess). If my stats tell an accurate story, I know that folks will tend to catch up on their blog reading between 8:30am and 10:30 am (after they get to work and settle in and check email, etc) and again in the late afternoon between 4-6pm (before they go home or after they get home from work). Therefore, to try to get the most bang for my buck, I will try to advance post entries for those time frames. It’s slightly complex because timezones come into play. Because I am in the Eastern timezone, an entry posted at 4pm will be available in the 4 o’clock time frame for east coasters but still be posted in time for the west coasters reading time. As a sidenote, I try to avoid night time posting for content I want to get alot of exposure for. By the time readers check in in the morning in the United States, the fresh content I posted has disappeared off of the front pages of the search engines.
- Avoiding Burnout - For the first year and some months of my blogging career, I would take the run and stop approach, blog alot then stop blogging because I lost my focus. By spacing entries out, I take advantage of the times of inspiration and cover my ass in my uninspired moments. No one knows the difference.
Maybe these 5 tips can help you. It took a long time for me to realize these things, but now that I do, things are so much easier to manage. Remember, you’re not in a race. Unless you’re a breaking news journalist, anything you blog now can likely be put off until tomorrow. Your readers will thank you. The search engines will thank you. And you’ll find yourself actually growing in blogging.

Great advice Aaron - I’m guilty of the start-stop approach to scheduled posting. Sometimes I do it, sometimes I just post as soon as I’ve written. It’s one thing I definitely want to do, particularly for non-time-critical content. Thanks for the prompt. :)

It also helps to break up thoughts into smaller entries. Alot of bloggers I know get inspiration on a topic and write a book on it. Instead, break that long entry into 2 or 3 entries posted on consecutive (or semi-consecutive) days and you have 1) the cliffhanger effect, 2) make an entry less daunting for users skimming, and 3) get a bit of mileage out of one entry.

Aaron, I’m not one to critique ANYONE’s blog or how they run it, I just don’t see writing advanced articles saves any time. Simply because by the time you post your article or rant, wouldn’t the message be “dated”?
When I did a lot of my writing it was on current real time events. Or as real time as I could get them. If you have a stockpile of articles and just drop one into the “publish” folder, how relevant could that information or opinion be to what’s on topic?
I realize that not all articles work that way, especially when it comes to other topics (unless you are starting to roll out your articles on DOS 6.1 and we’re currently playing with Vista. :)
Sometimes, you’re too busy for your own good. (Something my wife doesn’t seem to think you can ever be too busy)

I didn’t say anything about saving time. You still have to write them. However, many blogs and many entries are not time-sensitive items. Therefore, they can be staged in advance. Obviously, this method doesn’t work for everyone and indeed, political blogging tends to need more real-time writing. Political blogging is a fraction of the blogging that happens in the blogosphere though, so…if it applies, use it, if not, then don’t. :)

I have started to make and effort to have at least 2 or 3 post standing by. Usually they are just small hints and tips that I post on my site instead of larger articles. I find that by doing so it gives me a bit more time to work on some of the larger articles. It is also good to have a few drafts on the ready just in case you don’t feel like posting for the day.
Funny thing is some of my really small “Hints & Tips” articles usually get picked up by other sites so they end up getting more attention than some of the larger articles that I spend more time on.

I think this is a cool article and have bookmarked it.
One thing drove me nuts, though, and I would have pointed it out via contact email address - if I could find one. So please don’t think I am having a cheap shot. Feel free to moderate it out.
Clearly you have taken much care with your blog design, layout and functionality. But the word ‘alot’ (sic) appears six times on this page. It should be ‘a lot’.
I am sure I am being a pedant. I am sure that I make plenty of typos on my own blog(s). I just thought you might want to know and could not find another means of letting you know. If not, no sweat.
FYI, Performancing ran an article titled something like ‘10 signs of a cheap blog …’ that was quite controversial. The punchline is that the guy who wrote it had attrocious grammer and every second comment posted highlighted it.
Again, totally did this post.

hehe… Thanks Paul. Actually, I admit I make alot of typos. It’s usually because my mind is racing faster than my fingers. That’s another reason I have moved to the advance posting model. It used to be that I would publish, then view, then have to go make edits two or three times just to make sense of what I wrote. Now I advanced post and save myself the humiliation. :)
Now as for ‘alot’ vs. ‘a lot’… Call it editorial license. That is always how I have written it and I chalk it up to the same difference between the Americanized “center” and the British “centre”. I am not likely to change that style. :)

Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing your tips/experience. 4 out of 5 seems obivious, although I tend to forget about them. Your tip on pings is very valuable going to use that one.
Maybe an automatic publish utility for “awaited moderation posts” could do the trick.
ps: sorry not english speaking blogger

Yes, you might want to check your own spelling before correcting someone else’s…
It’s “grammar,” not “grammer.”

Oh yes. That is pretty bad. Absolutely right you are, Cary.
Or did I leave them in to make a point?
Nah. I went red and hung my head.
Though, for the record, I never did say I was oblivious to the odd typo. I did say that there is a difference between a mistake and, well, six of the same mistake.
But this is not even the point. And, ultimately, the point is that the original post by Aaron is a good one.

Out of curiosity, is Advance Posting a built in feature of WordPress or a plug-in? Does anyone know if/how it can be done with Blogger? I use Blogger for my Beer Haiku Daily blog and would love to be able to set up future scheduled posting. It would certainly make going on vacation easier.
Cheers!
