15 Minutes to a Great Blog

by Rebecca

The proverbial "they" say it takes two weeks to break a habit. But how long does it take to start one?

Only fifteen minutes.

Getting into the habit of blogging is easy! Devote fifteen minutes per day to your blog, and you will soon have established it as part of your routine. The key is to make those fifteen minutes count. Here's how to get the most out of your time:

• Look at your traffic and take note of how many people have visited your blog.

• Reply to any messages or comments.

• Research topics for your next blog post.

• Publish a blog post.

Search engines like Google will index blogs according to the frequency of content updates (among other factors), so post often, no matter how much (or how little) you have to say. Fifteen minutes is all it takes, and an oft-tended business blog translates to professionalism and committedness in the minds of your readers.
