While some bloggers may focus exclusively
on only one blog at a time, there are many bloggers who manage to maintain
several different blogs concurrently. However, not all bloggers do this
successfully. Some bloggers compromise quality of content as well as quantity
of content by trying to maintain too many blogs while other bloggers have the
ability to keep several blogs up to date and interesting to visitors. There are
a few key elements to maintaining multiple successful blogs. This article will
discuss some of these elements including keeping content original, keeping
blogs up to date and budgeting time to work on each blog.
Keeping Content Original
Bloggers who maintain multiple blogs must
be careful to keep the content of each blog original. Even if the blogger
maintains several related blogs it is important to ensure each of these blogs
has original blog postings. This will help to prevent blog visitors from
feeling as though the information they are receiving is not original. It will
also help to prevent readers who frequently visit one or more of the bloggers
blogs from deciding to start only visiting one of the blogs because they feel
the postings are redundant.
Bloggers are also advised against stealing
posts from other similar blogs. This is not only illegal but is also not likely
to help the blogger much because dedicated readers of the original blog are
likely to realize the new blog is simply stealing content from a more
successful blog.
Keeping Each Blog Up to Date
Bloggers who maintain multiple blogs are
also advised to ensure each blog is kept up to date. This means they should
take care to post on each blog regularly. Doing this will help to avoid
problems which stem from blog visitors feeling as though the blogs are
stagnant. Even the most interesting and informative blogs can lose traffic
quickly if the blog visitors do not see new content on a regular basis. The
Internet is continually evolving and updating. As a result Internet users can
afford to be finicky and are not likely to remain dedicated to a blog which
does not post new information regularly because they can likely find other
blogs available which do provide updates on a more frequent basis.
Finding Time to Work on Each Blog
Bloggers who maintain several blogs are
also tasked with the dilemma of finding time to work on each blog. However,
this is very important because bloggers cannot afford to neglect one or more of
their blogs. Doing this can result in a marked decline in blog traffic. Therefore
bloggers who wish to maintain multiple blogs must budget their time carefully
to ensure they are dedicating sufficient time to each blog. This time
management exercise may start out by assessing the needs of each blog. Some
blogs may require a great deal of time and effort each week to keep the blog
functioning properly while other blogs may require only a small amount of time
for the same purpose. In general blogs which require a great deal of research
will require more time and energy of the blogger than blogs which are based on
the bloggers opinions and feelings and are therefore not as research intensive.
Once the blogger has determined how much time it will be required to maintain
each blog, he can schedule his time accordingly. However, he should plan to
evaluate how well each blog is operating and may have to make adjustments to
the schedule as needed. Additionally, he may also need to make a decision to
eliminate a blog or enlist assistance in keeping the blogs updated if
necessary.
