It is important to consider whether you are blogging productively or non-productively.

It is very common for bloggers that sometimes we would just spend a few hours to write a blog post. The longest time I had spent on writing a post was 5 hours. I understand that we wanted to write a post as informative as possible, structured the most beautiful story and tried to use the most appropriate words to explain what we want to say. But frankly, as a blogger, or even a professional blogger it could be a kind of non-productively work.
Again, YouTube Charts is another channel you can find the most popular videos that people are watching in the world. You can simply find some videos that are popular, related to your niche and sometimes entertaining to post on your blog. Talk about the video, give some comments on it and add some related keywords on the post. Then you can compose a hot, may be entertaining and attractive post really quick.

I understand that we wanted to write a post as informative as possible, structured the most beautiful story and tried to use the most appropriate words to explain what we want to say. But frankly, as a blogger, or even a professional blogger it could be a kind of non-productively work.
How to determine whether it is productive?
If you are a professional blogger and you generate income by getting people to your blog and read your stuff, then you must understand that your time is precious. In my own business, there are two things I have learned which is very important if you are trying to make money by blogging. They are…
Blog Daily. Tell others.
It is very easy to understand that we want to create some valuable content to attract more people to read our blog. It doesn’t mean that we should create as much informative content as we can, then more and more people will get in. It doesn’t work like this. Actually, the more work we should do and more time to spend is on Tell others.
Of course today we are not going to discuss how to syndicate your blog or building backlinks. I want to talk about how you can shorten the time of writing by using Speed Blogging but at the same time you can still attract people or even more people than writing a post that is full of information.
How to structure a post by speed blogging?
There is a few ways you can construct posts really fast and at the same time arouse noise. Well at least you are writing something that are most of the people talking about.
Alex.com – What’s Hot
“Alexa is perhaps best known for the Alexa Rank - our website ranking system which tracks over 30 million websites worldwide. The Alexa Rank and other metrics allow site owners to benchmark their sites and give consumers, marketers and advertisers metrics to evaluate websites for media buying, partnerships, and other business opportunities.
Alexa's traffic estimates are based on a diverse sample of millions of worldwide internet users using thousands of different types of toolbars and add-ons for Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.”
Need not to emphasize the authority of Alex.com here. But not many people know that actually they can find the hottest topic on internet by accessing the Alex.com – What’s Hot. What you need to do is to go to http://Alexa.com/whatshot/ to find out the most popular topic that are on the web right now.
You can just choose a topic that you are interested to write about. Describe what it is happening, talk about how you feel or your opinions. Relate to your product if it is possible. Then a post can be easily composed and attract the most people at the same time. Remember, even you are attracting people who may not be interested into your niche, but the more traffic you get the higher your blog can be ranked in Google search result. That’s mean it eventually helps you to attract more people and let more people to be able to search your blog!!
YouTube Charts
Again, YouTube Charts is another channel you can find the most popular videos that people are watching in the world. You can simply find some videos that are popular, related to your niche and sometimes entertaining to post on your blog. Talk about the video, give some comments on it and add some related keywords on the post. Then you can compose a hot, may be entertaining and attractive post really quick. You can go to http://www.YouTube.com/charts to find those videos.Some may say “I don’t want my blog to be entertaining, I want to be a professional, informative, serious and boring blogger.” Well, it depends on whether you want more people to know your stuff or you just want to bury your blog and only you know it is valuable.
Of course I am not telling you to write some non-sense articles only to attract traffic. Try to find some topic that you can tweak a little bit so that it could be related to your business or your niche. That will be making sense so much more!!
Quote from others
Another really simple method that I always use is to quote from others. Most of the time you don’t need to write all the things by your own hand. You can quote other people’s stuff to fill with content. Just like the paragraph I write about Alexa.com above, I just quote it from the main site of Alexa.com. It can save you much time!! Or sometimes if you could find some good article on web or on Facebook, you could just quote a few paragraphs that you think it is interest or related to your niche. Again, write about how you feel, tweak a little bit to relate to your business. Then you can create another Speed Blogging post really quick!
Limit yourself to finish a post within 30 mins.
In my perspective, the best practice of writing blog is to limit yourself to write each blog post within 30 mins, so that you can finish 2 posts within an hour. You could write one more entertaining and the other one more informative. Then you can spend the rest of your time to do social syndication.
Of course it doesn’t mean that you can’t write something you really love or passionate about with more time. But you gotta bear in mind that this is not productive and thus it would become less profitable in your day. Or you may merely do this in your spare time.
