This is Step #14 in the 101 Steps to Becoming a Better Blogger.
Spend 99% of your time focused on creating unique, quality content. Content is King; or as John Reese says, “content is King Kong”.
This is a great tip! I spend about 90% of my blogging time looking for interesting topics to blog about, researching them, writing articles and editing them. Believe it or not, but the Back to School series was a 2 month long adventure! I first plotted my idea, what topics would work with the series, did research on each topic, wrote articles, edited articles, and continued to edit until I was satisfied. I was pleased at the end result, and can’t wait to publish my next special series. Now that I know what to do, I don’t think it will take as much time, but I will definitely continue to publish quality special series.
Currently, I have three weekly series, Geek Girl on Mondays, WordPress Wednesdays, and a guest blogger’s Welcome to Soulville on Thursdays. I’m adding at least one new series soon, which will mean a lot more work in producing quality content, but should generate some great pillar posts to add to my arsenal!
