Don’t you find it hard to keep blogging and keep on maintaining your blog? Does blogging really have to be long term? How many of you actually have started a blog, post on them as many as one a day at times and then after 1 or 2 months you just get burnout and give up?
This is where many blogs die a slow and painful death. The euphoria of a new blog just fizzled off. To start a blog is as easy as clicking a few buttons on your hosting’s cPanel or uploading a few files to your hosting server but to commit yourself to post regularly will be a tough act to follow through.
Probably, you have other tasks you need to do or you didn’t place any priority for whatever the reason on your flagship blog or there’s no desire to continue blogging after a while. If this is you, why create a blog for the long term?
Here are 3 types of blogs that may interest you if long term blogging is not your cup of tea.
#1 – The Event Blog
Let’s say you read a type of news or upcoming events like the coming Olympics in Beijing or the Fifa Euro 2008 Football Championships or perhaps the current season of American Idol. You can blog about these events and since they have an ending date, you can stop and move on after that.
#2 - The Launchpad Blog
If you are launching a new product or service and want to gather feedback, showcase stories and create buzz before your launch. You can start a blog like this. It is a good way to build momentum up to your official launch and also to get readers to ask questions and provide insights on what they think about the new product or service. Again, this blog will usually not continue months after the product or service has been launched.
#3 – The Post Sales Blog
After your launch, you’ll certainly want to have a blog to relate news about your current product or service and showcase updates to customers from time to time. While blogs such as this won’t die a slow painful death, it does not have to be updated as regularly as any other blog. Only when you have news to share about your product or service, do you post on the blog thus your posts will be real-time.
Is any one of you ever involved in these types of blogs?
