Blog Training and How-To Guide for Business Blogging

Start a timer. Give yourself, say, 10 minutes. Go! See how much you can write, how fast you can edit, how quickly you can find and insert a relevant photo, and how nimbly you can link to any related resources. Then hit publish. This isn't something you should do all the time - but it can be a valuable learning experience. What really slows you down when you blog? Is it just that you need lots of time to gather your thoughts? Is it that you don't know how to use your blog software very well? Or could it be that you're not confident in your own writing abilities? It's good to practice blogging quickly. The flip side of this is also worth trying - blogging slowly. To do this, simply start a timer and don't allow yourself to publish a new idea until time is up. But force yourself to work on a blog post idea that whole time! Try these ideas out and let me know what happens.
