The Best Experts Are Not Always the Best Bloggers – Ghost Blogging Tips and Tricks

Want a vibrant and busy blog but don’t have the time or talent to write posts yourself? Ghost blogging may be the answer. In my first guest post for Content Marketing Institute, I address these three common objections to ghost blogging:

  1. Is it unethical?
  2. Will the finished product still sound like me?
  3. Is ghost blogging social enough for social media?

(Hint: You don’t have to worry about any of these things!)

I also reveal my top tips for a successful relationship with a ghost blogger.

The more blog posts you publish, the more likely your prospective customers will find something valuable and relevant when they visit your site. While I can’t give you more time to blog, I can offer some tips to help you write more blog posts in the time you have.

The key to blogging faster is to manage the bad blogging habits that are slowing you down. In my latest guest post at SteamFeed I revealed the five worst ones:

  1. Multi-tasking
  2. Multi blog-tasking
  3. Forcing an idea
  4. Letting yourself off the hook
  5. Trying to be a thought leader

Read the post for more insights into how these habits are derailing your business blogging success, and what to do instead.

How to Schedule Your Business Blogging Time

December 22, 2014 By Linda Dessau

Have you ever noticed that what gets scheduled, gets done? The same is true for your business blogging. In my latest post at SteamFeed, I reveal the scheduling tool and method I use to keep my blogging on track.

It’s called Wunderlist, and it’s absolutely free (they do have a paid version, but you won’t need it to implement the suggestions I offer in this post). I use Wunderlist in virtually every area of my life – client work, business development tasks, my own blogging, household chores, health reminders, shopping lists, travel planning and more.

As I was writing about the ways I use Wunderlist to increase my blogging efficiency, I realized there was actually a broader set of steps that anyone could apply – regardless of what task management system you use.

Read the post at SteamFeed to learn:

  • Why scheduling is important for business blogging
  • The benefits of Wunderlist as a blog scheduling tool
  • How I use Wunderlist in my business blogging workflow
  • Three steps for scheduling your business blogging tasks

The SteamFeed blog is now closed, but you can read this post here at Content Mastery Guide.
