How to write blog articles in your spare time

We all have idle time, it may be at the bus station while waiting for your ride, in the airport while waiting to board the plane, in the office while on your coffee break, or at home doing nothing.



This spare time could just be 5 minutes or 15 minutes each day, but if you use this few minutes wisely you will not worry about what topic to post on your blog the next day.



If you follow these TIPs you will soon have a steady flow of good content for your blog.



As a blogger you should utilize your spare time by writing your blog articles in your spare time.



The articles doesn’t need to be instant master pieces, don’t be too hard on your self when trying to write, simply let your emotions and thoughts flow on paper or on your word processor. But of course don't forget to edit your blog entry before posting it.



Here are some things I write about in my spare time:
  • My next article title
  • Ideas I have within the day
  • Names of people and things
  • Upcoming events
  • New market trends
  • Government issues
  • New business trends
  • Things I need to accomplish
  • Things I’ve accomplish
  • Things that needs follow up
  • News
You could write about anything you like, after doing so, you could write an outline of the article. An outline will help you to be focused and it will help you write your article faster.



Here is an example of an outline I did for one of the articles:

Title: Do you want to increase your blog traffic?
Ideas I jotted down...
  1. -email
  2. -Free article submission
  3. -Blog directory submission
  4. -Search engine submission
  5. -Feedburner
  6. -Word of mouth
  7. -Viral marketing
[here is the complete blog entry]


I wrote the outline of this article at work while waiting for a customer to call in, and I finished the whole article at home.




Writing the outline of an article is like creating a skeleton of what you have to write about, once the skeleton is there you just need to fill in the blanks and you will be able to finish the article in no time.



Some writers do not use this approach some immediately write their thoughts on paper and work on them until the article is done, you could do that too. The important thing is that you write something down in your spare time in order to utilize your spare time to your advantage.
