For example, I used to have a web designer include articles in my <a title=\"Word Constructions Business Notes Newsletter\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wordconstructions.com.au\/subscribe.php\" target=\"_blank\">newsletter<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>use RSS feed to collect some relevant material to add to your blog (similar to a guest blogger but totally automated!)<\/li>\n<li>write the posts yourself but get someone else to enter them into the software, adding keywords, categories, etc<\/li>\n<li>have someone else manage your blog and website &#8211; software updates, adding new graphics, collecting stats, etc<\/li>\n<li>finding ideas &#8211; have someone else research topics your readers are interested in so you have a list to work from when it is time to write<\/li>\n<li>outsource multiple tasks so you have more time for blogging &#8211; think about your bookkeeping, filing, writing, graphics, negotiations and sales<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While it isn&#8217;t something to delegate, I would also suggest keeping a notepad or computer document handy to note ideas at any time. Any time you think of something to blog about, write it down so you don&#8217;t have to spend time with bloggers block &#8211; and you don&#8217;t face the frustration of knowing you had the perfect idea yesterday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>How do you ensure you have enough time for blogging?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some time ago I wrote a post about building blogging skills based on a list by Chris Garrett (on a blog that is no longer live unfortunately).
