\u201cSomeone or something that wastes your time, makes you lose a part of your life. One you can never get back.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2015 <\/span>Innocent Mwatsikesimbe<\/a><\/span>, <\/span>The Reason<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Blogging, and the tasks that blogging entails before, during, and after – can take forever. <\/span><\/p>\n

With even mildly inefficient means, it can take even longer than forever. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s too much time to waste. <\/span><\/p>\n

So we interviewed 5 people who blog superlatively, <\/span>exactly because they employ efficient means and methods. \u00a0<\/span>And they\u2019ve been generous enough to share some of those means and methods with us. <\/span><\/p>\n

Read on to find out how they make their work seem like it\u2019s as easy as blinking. <\/span><\/p>\n

Q1.) What is your favourite productivity hack as a blogger? What makes it so effective?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) One of my favorite productivity hacks is using Canned Responses in Gmail. As a blogger, you will get a lot of emails that require very similar responses, such as requests to guest post, contribute to a crowdsourced post, and many more. Canned Responses in Gmail (found under the labs in your settings) allows you to create templates for answers you send often via email. This will help you get through your inbox a lot faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q1.) In the process of blogging, where do you have your\u00a0<\/span>biggest productivity challenge<\/span>? How do you work through\/around that challenge?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) Getting distracted! You know how it is \u2014 you log on to Twitter to schedule a few tweets and respond to mentions, and you look up and three hours have passed. That\u2019s why I schedule my social media through <\/span>CoSchedule<\/a><\/span>\u00a0– not only does it allow me to see everything in calendar format, it also prevents me from getting distracted since I\u2019m not on the main site! I also use <\/span>SelfControl<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to block social media when I\u2019m really getting distracted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q2.)What productivity tool works best for you? Why do you think it works so well?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) Todoist is my favorite, I\u2019ve been using it for years! Every other to-do app I\u2019ve tried is either too simple or too complex. I love that <\/span>Todoist<\/a><\/span>\u00a0lets me create separate lists for projects, but I can also still organize my tasks by due date so I can see what I should be working on each day. Everything that gets added to my list gets a due date of the Monday of the week I want to get it done, then each Monday I use the 7-day view to distribute tasks throughout the week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q3.) \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0There may be some social media efforts by people that you’ve come across and spotted things that could be done better. What tip would you generally give to other online marketers, and why? <\/span><\/p>\n

A) I think the biggest thing with social media is to stick with your favorite platforms and don\u2019t worry about the rest. At the end of the day, social media is about making connections and building relationships. People can tell whether or not you\u2019re excited to be there and will respond accordingly. When you\u2019re clearly enjoying a social media platform, you\u2019ll naturally draw more followers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Q1.) What is your biggest productivity challenge being a blogger? How do you work through\/around that challenge?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 A) My biggest productivity challenge is not getting burned out. When you\u00a0 write a lot of content, there’s a limit to how much you can produce in a day and you run the risk of burning out or running out of ideas. I get ideas by reading a lot of newsletters and get downtime by watching movies or television to recharge every evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q2.) What productivity tool works best for you? Why do you think it works so well?<\/span><\/p>\n

A)My best productivity tools are Gmail and MS Word. Yes, I’m pretty low tech that way. Gmail helps me manage communications with clients, and get things running smoothly, while I do all my writing in MS Word. I would also add Hootsuite, because helps me with all my social media scheduling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q3.) There may be some blogging efforts by people that you’ve come across that make you think about how things could be done better. What tip would you generally give to other bloggers, and why?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) I would say, learn to write great headlines, proofread your content or have it edited by someone with good language skills and do keyword research for every post you write. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"8ru8rggikw4nfq426tfk\"<\/a>Q1.) What is your biggest productivity challenge as a blogger? How do you work through\/around that challenge?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) My biggest challenge is by far time. With my travel, client obligations, new business focus and family time, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get things done. So I’ve addressed this with two simple things that have helped tremendously. First off, I block 1-2 hours of time every day that cannot be interrupted by meetings or phone calls, specifically to focus on client work. That is my primary focus and way of generating revenue for myself and my company, so clients come first. I’ve also blocked off uninterruptible time each week to write. It might be blog posts, presentations or just personal writing to clear my mind, but I take time to write and do not allow anything to interrupt that time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second thing I’ve done is a little more of a commitment, but works wonders. I hired a virtual assistant to handle administrative tasks like scheduling guest for my podcast, booking my travel and pulling together my presentation decks for conferences where I speak. I discovered it’s a far better use of my time making extra money and paying someone else to do the administrative work that eats into my productivity. The modest investment in that part-time employee is greatly compensated for in the extra time I have to focus on my clients and my work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q2.) What productivity tool works best for you? Why do you think it works so well?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) I don’t use a lot of productivity tools beyond the standard calendar, etc. So I think I would say the best thing that works for me is being insistent that nothing interrupts the client or writing time on my calendar. I simply tell people, “I’m sorry. I’m booked at that time. We’ll have to find another time to meet.” If I allow flexibility to seep into my client or writing time, then that time and work disappears. So my best tool is being uncompromising in my time commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q3.) There may be some blogging and marketing efforts by people that you’ve come across, and spotted things that could be done better. What tip would you generally give to others, and why? <\/span><\/p>\n

A) In terms of social marketing, I think too often people fail to define a voice and a personality for their brand. As a result, you get a variety of people (marketing manager, community manager, content provider) speaking on behalf of the brand with inconsistent voices and with a lack of consistent personality. Being a brand in social does mean being real, human and sort of rolling with the conversation, but it’s important to be defined as a personality more so than just a logo or a name. Consistency in tone and voice, plus always bringing those personality traits (humor, snark, intellect, self-deprecation, etc.) to the conversation are lost on most brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) What is your biggest productivity challenge being a blogger? How do you work through\/around that challenge?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) Having backups of almost everything is crucial to me – they\u00a0could be useful at anytime in the future. \u00a0Everything gets stored in the cloud. \u00a0I use instances of both <\/span>Box<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and <\/span>Dropbox<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for different situations, but it all syncs to every device I use. \u00a0I have a <\/span>Fujutsu ScanSnap<\/a><\/span>\u00a0device both at the home office and office office. \u00a0Every document that crosses my desk gets scanned and stored for future reference. \u00a0Even notes I take at meetings on pad & paper get processed this way. <\/span><\/p>\n

2) What productivity tool works best for you? Why do you think it works so well?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) \u00a0In the car I use <\/span>Dial2Do<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and even have a waterproof notepad in the shower. \u00a0This frees my brain to think about the task at hand or the next idea. \u00a0I swear, this is the single most important element for me to stay productive. In my personal life, Evernote has become increasingly important to keep weekend \u201choney do\u201d lists, grocery lists, hardware store lists, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) There may be some blogging efforts by people that you’ve come across and spotted things that could be done better. What tip would you generally give to others, and why? <\/span><\/p>\n

A) \u00a0<\/span>Life is short, work with people you enjoy<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0That and relationships are at the heart of everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) What is your biggest productivity challenge being a blogger? How do you work through\/around that challenge?<\/span><\/p>\n

A)\u00a0 My biggest challenge is consistency. I tend to write in bursts, when the mood strikes. I used to feel guilty about this, but as I primarily write for my personal edification, I like the lack of pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) What productivity tool works best for you? Why do you think it works so well?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) I adore “Drafts<\/a>” for iOS. It lets me quickly get ideas recorded, and then export those ideas anywhere. Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, or just saved as a private note to myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) There may be some blogging efforts by people that you’ve come across and spotted things that could be done better. What tip would you generally give to others, and why?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) My best tip for bloggers is to work in phases. Research. Write. Edit. Annotate (links, tags, footnotes). Each of these tasks is best done in isolation, as they involve different skills. And when done separately, it’s more clear when each is done.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Q1.) What is your biggest productivity challenge being a blogger? How do you work through\/around that challenge?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) My biggest productivity challenge is overthinking things. When we overanalyze a situation, we start to worry about possible outcomes and others’ opinions. The best way to work through it is to just take action and sort the rest out later. A bad decision stuck to is better than inaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Q2.) What productivity tool works best for you? Why do you think it works so well?<\/span><\/p>\n

A) The productivity tool that works best for me is the good ole fashioned to-do list. I think it works best because I keep it to only three items. These are not tasks I need to do, instead, they are overarching goals that I need to achieve for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Q3.) There may be some social media efforts by people that you’ve come across and spotted things that could be done better. What tip would you generally give to other online marketers, and why?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A) My tips for other online marketers are to make sure you know your audience and listen to them. Produce content that will make their lives easier and answers questions in a way no one else does. This helps build your expertise and establishes you as a thought leader in your industry. It also builds trust and confidence in purchasing from you.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Now that you\u2019ve picked up your ammo…<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope you can unlock all sorts of achievements with these tips. Try different methods and tools, and stick with what shows results, not what promises them. There\u2019s no limit to how much you can better your methods. The dream is to \u00a0one day achieve instant results with the right tools and techniques. Gladly, it is possible to some degree even today, which is what I hope they’ve\u00a0helped you discover. <\/span><\/p>\n
