DAILY ROUTINE OF A FULL-TIME BLOGGER

If you’re pursuing a career online, you’re probably doing it because you crave the freedom and independence that a 9-5 can’t provide.

One of the perks of being a blogger is that you can start and end your day whenever you want – am I right?

Well, that’s a perk only if you aren’t an addicted workaholic or have the worst productivity techniques…

MORNING IN THE LIFE

In the morning, if you have the privilege of working from home and for yourself, you’ll have lots of flexibility.

Based on your chronotype:

• if you’re an early riser you might decide to wake up at 6 AM to hit the gym and start your work day at 9 AM sharp
• if you’re more of a night owl, you could be rolling out of bed only past 10 AM, only to start working around noon

After waking up and following your morning routine (if you have any), it’s time to clock in to work!

DAILY TASKS OF A SUCCESSFUL BLOGGER

Successful bloggers know what they should invest in and where they shouldn’t waste their time.

The tasks you should prioritize to grow your blog are high ROI tasks, meaning that your effort will pay off.

What are some of the highest ROI blogging tasks?

• Writing new articles for your blog
• Replying to comments
• Investing in a good Pinterest marketing strategy
• Creating your opt-in offer
• Writing content for your newsletter
• Engaging with your audience

Blogging involves a wide range of tasks, but not all of them will have the same weight on your success.

Obviously, what you focus on will also change depending on what stage of the blogging journey you are in.

For example, if you haven’t launched your blog, you’ll better gain the right knowledge before diving into blogging.

If you’re in the initial stages, you might focus more on writing a few pieces of good content and marketing strategies to create more awareness in your ideal audience.

On the other hand, if you’re already a seasoned blogger, you will work harder on maintaining a connection with your subscribers and offering them your products and services.

AFTERNOON IN THE LIFE

Having the flexibility to work independently, and deciding both when to start and stop working are probably the hardest things to do as a self-employed.

One technique that all bloggers should swear by is to never “clock out” before ensuring that they’re set up for success the next day.

To avoid any additional stress, it is always a good idea to end whatever was started.

You are the boss of yourself. Own it.

You have the responsibility to run your business the way you want. You are the one putting in the effort.

Don’t expect to see incredible results if you’re not willing to put in barely any effort. (It seems obvious, yet it’s easy to forget it)

To be a successful blogger, you need to be super organized in order to make your business grow, but also to ensure you have a social life, while also taking care of yourself.

A TYPICAL WEEK AS A BLOGGER

Task batching is the holy grail of time management techniques for all bloggers (and not only)!

What is task batching?

It involves scheduling specific slots of time to get done a bunch of tasks that are the same – or similar -, instead of spreading them out in time.

In this way, you’ll get more done in less time! (WONDERFUL, isn’t it?)

So, by using this strategy, let’s see together what a typical week in the life of a successful blogger would look like.

MONDAY

On Monday, the focus is on writing content.

After all, that’s one of the most important things all bloggers do, right?

So, with the tasks batching technique – your Mondays could look something like this:

• Writing weekly newsletter(s)
• Writing article(s)
• Writing Pinterest descriptions
• Writing Instagram captions
• Writing content for your next course or service

TUESDAY

Tuesdays are for content creation.

For example, they could involve:

• Creating visually appealing Pins
• Crafting the visuals for your blog articles
• Filming the week’s Instagram stories
• Shooting content for your social media channels
• Designing infographics for your freebie

WEDNESDAY

All bloggers would be nowhere without their audience.

Your readers are the most important aspect of blogging. Therefore, your ideal reader should always be in the back of your mind whenever you do something.

Consequently, it is essential to build and maintain a great relationship with your readers. That involves:

• Answering to comments
• Replying to emails promptly
• Interacting with readers on social media
• Staying in touch with your audience through email
• Making sure your readers feel heard and seen

THURSDAY

Another thing a successful blogger knows and therefore makes sure it’s part of daily life is constantly learning.

Blogging has a never-ending learning curve.

Social media adopts different and new algorithms every now and then.

New tricks to rank higher on Google are released.

Brand new platforms to nurture relationships are created.

So, if you want to be a successful blogger, you need to make sure you stay on top of the blogging game by making learning one of your weekly habits.

Here are some ways to learn more about blogging:

• Enroll in different courses that are specific to one area of blogging
• Read others’ blog posts
• Reach out to more seasoned bloggers
• Use social media actively, not passively

FRIDAY

The end of the week is a good time to do anything that didn’t get done earlier and to prepare for the week ahead.

Some tasks you could batch are:

• Scheduling new Pins
• Planning Instagram posts
• Being active on Facebook communities
• Catching up on new emails or comments
• Editing blog articles, to make sure they’re ready to be published

WEEKEND

Finally, it’s the weekend!

Hopefully, though, you’ve decided to start this blogging journey because you’re trying to create a life you don’t want to escape from.

Use the weekend to your advantage, to create a life you don’t need a break or vacation from.

It’s important to rest, practice self-care, and be social – so the weekend is the perfect time to do it!

Maybe, instead of working hours on your blog, on the weekend you could just do some small tasks that require only a couple of minutes.

For example:

• Checking the emails
• Promoting your blog on Facebook
• Pinning a new post
• Answering a comment

As you can see, blogging requires hard work, but with effort, time, and a pinch of strategy, you have all it takes to become a successful blogger!
