BloggersWalk

If you manage websites or are any online guru, especially a blogger, you probably know that you don’t really have working days and weekends. You’re the boss so you’re really in control of everything. So, to the real question now.

As a blogger, how do you spend your weekend? Are your weekends the same as weekdays? Do you take more time off than usual? Below are just some of the things that I focus on especially on weekends, as I really like Saturdays and Sundays, although Friday nights are my favorite. Anyways…

Promoting MORE Than Usual
Well, firstly, I don’t make any posts on my blogs on the weekends, unless it’s a breaking news that I must post about. So, I use that extra few hours that I have from not having to craft my posts into the promotion of all my blogs. Unfortunately, this promotion does not have huge immediate results because I have to promote so many of my blogs. However, I have noticed that steady wins the race, as looking at the promotion I have done from a more distant perspective, it has really paid off.

Following Up
Again, with the extra free time I have on weekends, I make sure that I follow up on the comments, emails, and some blogs that I was not able to get to. My personal belief is that you never know when you’ll find a gem, so you need to constantly follow up, even if you may be a few thousand emails behind. Oh yeah, I’m staying true one one of the posts I made at ahnternet.

Reaching Out and Socializing
I put some extra effort into getting new contacts and strengthening my relationship with those who I already know. Whether it be through a casual email, a chat over MSN, or a match of StarCraft, I make sure that I stay in touch. It may seem pointless, considering time is money. However, I believe that some of these people can eventually help me in some sort of way.

Imagining the Next
I dedicate a lot of my weekend scheduling/planning my week. I do this both for my online and my offline life. Pertaining to this blog, I start on and draft a few posts which I can develop over the course of the week and publish on Tuesday and Friday. I also set myself some short term goals that can be achieved in the following week (thus, very realistic goals), such as making sure that I make at least 10 comments a day on other bloggers’ blogs.

This is just a snapshot of what the blogger behind BloggersWalk does on weekends for the success of this blog. Of course, everyone has their own routines.
