I figured I would use this blog to possibly help some of my classmates who may be struggling with blogging simply because of their hectic schedules. Blogging with purpose can be time consuming for some but there are ways around that. The answer is working smarter and not harder. Here are a couple of tips to help make blogging more manageable even with strict time constraints:
Micro-content can be your savior: We live in a day and age where most do no wish to read long and overly informative pieces. They wish to get the important aspects and for bloggers to get pretty much right down to the point. Anything from info-graphics to short videos to captioned photos, these somewhat seemingly small clumps of information are easy to prepare and just as easy for your readers to enjoy. Likewise, they are every bit as engaging and as effective as that 500-word blog post you never have time to write.
Curating your content rather than creating it can also be a viable option. Think about it. How many times are we really the creators of content never been introduced before? You can find relevant content about what you wanted to blog about. You can then blend up the information you found, organize it and present it with your very take and insights on the matter. Content curating is a great way to help you increase your knowledge of the industry or subject matter, establish your credibility and trust with your audiences and build audience loyalty while at the same time delighting them with content that is entertaining or useful.

That was a really great idea. It would have been a nice experience. Next year I may have to check that out. Sounds like a really great time. I love beer too by-the-way!
