These Are 5 Ways To Make Blogging As A Student

Basically, blogging can be stressful but most times
the stress level depends on your niche. Tech
Bloggers get to do a lot of stressful work, from
replying comments and emails to uploading roms
and writing reviews of devices. Most comments on
Tech Blogs are usually from people seeking
clarification about something on the post or
requesting for something.

I used tech here as a case study because it's my
niche.

Here are 5 strategies I use to reduce the stress.

1. Don't Search For News, Let The News Come To
You
This is the best way to get latest updates without
stressing yourself and going round tons of websites
to get stories. An RSS feed reader can help you do
this. Simply add the feed URL of all the top sites in
your niche to the feed reader. Once there's a new
story you get it instantly. No stress.

2. Schedule Posts For The Future
Assuming you have a lot of lectures during the
week and you won't have enough chance to make
posts every day you can simply make the posts on
weekends then schedule it to post at any day of the
week. Blogger and WordPress have this feature, it'll
help you keep your readers updated while you
attend to other relevant activities.

3. Let The Internet Work For You
You may wonder how you'll be able to share your
posts if you schedule posts. It's very simple
I don't bother myself about sharing posts unless if I
want to share it on Instagram or Google Plus
Communities. Use IFTTT to automatically share your
blog posts to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest,
Reddit and a whole lot of other websites. If you
have a Facebook group, Hootsuite can handle the
posting on the group.

4.Get Someone To Help You Run Your Blog
Automation can do everything for you but a human
touch always stands out from work done by just
computers. It's quite possible your RSS feed reader
may not cover everything you need to know because
you didn't add as many sites as possible. In this
case, you can employ someone to post for you
either on a weekly or daily basis if you have the
cash. You can also offer the person an incentive like
free data subscription every month.

5.Set A Schedule For Replying To Comments
You won't be on the PC or Phone 24/7. I hardly use
my laptop to blog these days. I find it easier using
my smartphone so it's possible you may also like
using your smartphone. Set a specific time
schedule to reply to Comments. This will keep your
readers engaged and know when to come back and
get a reply to their questions.

This is my 5 point strategy of reducing blogging
stress as a student. It helps me have time for
myself and school as well.

Hope you learnt something new today. I'd like to
know ways you're using to reduce the blogging
stress?
