18 tips to feed your blog beast

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to lead a discussion around blogging at one of my favorite local event: Unsummit. I attended my first Unsummit last fall and really enjoyed the more laid back feel, conversational tone and fact that many speakers are not the “same ol same ol” you see at events around town–and the country.

My topic of choice on Saturday? How to feed your blog beast. Specifically, 18 tips to feed your blog beast. We all want to blog more, right? But, time and a lack of ideas usually get in the way. In this short Prezi, I gave the audience 18 approaches that can help them keep their blog going more regularly.

I also wanted to feature examples from bloggers I admire–folks like Dave Fleet, Amber Naslund, Gini Dietrich, Melissa Berggren, Kellye Crane, David Griner, Rochelle Veturis and Tony Saucier. So, with each time, I talked through an example of one blogger who does this well.

Below is the Prezi I worked from for the Unsummit session Saturday. Just as I asked the group Saturday–what would you add to this list of tips?

What a great presentation! One thing that I'd add is to share domain knowledge freely. So often we take for granted how much we actually know about our passion. Share the basics and become a knowledge hub for your market!

Love this! The only other tip I would add (I don't think I saw it) is read other's blogs. That's where I get a ton of my inspiration and, giving credit to bloggers who inspire your post, go a long, long way!

You had good suggestions for people with "bloggers block" of the brain. It can be tough to keep coming up with NEW and INTERESTING ideas.
