  New Posting Pattern Initiated!

  09.17.07 | Permalink | 165 Comments

  Till now, I have been writing random articles and posts to fill up my blog with some worth-reading content. Alongside that, I have been struggling to maintain a regular posting schedule due to poor time management (which is now identified and solved).

  Now that I’ve given the issue some thought, I am more inclined to follow a defined pattern than post in a random and sporadic way.

  We usually agonize over the fact that we are being lazy, yet continue to procrastinate for hours. It becomes difficult to get out of this condition unless we force ourselves to take action, which is, admittedly, the most difficult part.

  How To Get Others To Listen To You

  08.29.07 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  

  Whether in blogging or in real life, the desire to get others to listen to our opinions is what motivates us to write and speak. We talk because we expect others to listen to us, and we write because we expect others to read us.

  For bloggers, the importance of engaging their readers in a discussion by getting their attention can not be overemphasized. Bloggers are official speakers. Unlike an average Joe who would talk out of necessity whether he gets heard or not, bloggers speak to influence opinions and spark discussions. This can only be done if you, as a blogger, know how to get others to listen to you.

  In real life, we talk to a lot of people everyday, yet we hardly leave an impression on a single person. This is because others do not listen to us, they don’t care what we say, and they pretend to listen because they don’t want to offend us. They know we are going to repeat what they have already heard hundreds of times. The only way to change this attitude is to convince them that what we have to say can have a positive affect on their lives.

  In blogging, there is even less of an audience for us that is willing to give us a chance. People here are more savvy and take little heed of weak voices.

  Here are a few tested and tried ways to make others give you their undivided attention, and become keen listeners.

  5 Ways To Overcome (Blogging) Shyness And Be More Productive

  08.26.07 | Permalink | 14 Comments

  

  Are you by any chance a shy bloogger? I have a sad news for you: you are going to fail as a blogger if you have not already. Blogging is about socialising, and a self-conscious person lacking good social skills can never be a blogger, let alone a good blogger.

  Not sure whether you are a shy blogger or not, and what do I mean by that? Here are some clues: You think a hundred times before writing a sentence, you delete whole paragraphs from your posts just because they make you look bad, you are scared to say something foolish, and.. you are too shy in dealing with your readers. If you are shaking your head in horror, you are, sadly, a shy blogger.

  Not to worry though, because shyness can be overcome once you know you are unreasonably shy about things others could care less about.
