If you are a blogger whose blog is read by a lot of people, you’d agree that it’s always a challenge to be productive and consistently maintain the blogging flow. Apart from writing posts, there are other tasks which a blogger needs to accomplish if he wants his blog to reach a wider audience.

Since I am a full time blogger too, I face such challenges everyday and I am always in search for ways to improve my blogging productivity. Today I decided to share some of these no nonsense tips which have helped me and which can help you too to make your blogging more productive. Instead of making it a redundant list of 8-10 tips, I have decided to collate those tips and group them under 4 major headings so that’s it’s simple and easy to understand.

1. Organize Your Information Sources
   The internet is a sea of information and there could be multiple sources to help you to get ideas for you to blog about. However, the key is to effectively manage these multiple sources of information so that you are never perturbed by information overload and you can easily fetch the required data.

   You should know how to manage RSS feeds, deal with loads of email, manage your various social networks and organize all these sources in a way that you can get the maximum out of them. You can group the various sources under 3 or 4 major groups and decide the time you will devote to them each day. For example you could consider social media as one information source group and devote 2-3 hours to it everyday. So whether you are digging, stumbling, twittering, plurking, sphinning or redditing, you should do it for certain number of hours and then check your activity and see what you have gained in terms of networking with friends, getting ideas, etc. Similarly you can deal with other such information groups.

2. Capture and manage ideas
   If you are able manage the information sources as I mentioned above, then you shouldn’t have a problem obtaining ideas. But again, how you manage those ideas is more important. Moreover, ideas can strike us at any time, even when we are not in front of our computer. Here is an article which tells you how to capture and manage such ideas.
