The Ten Essential Rules of Blogging
Running EMJ was simpler for me, as I had the opportunity to gradually build the company over 25 years, allowing people to get to know me as it grew. At SYNNEX, I faced a new group of individuals curious about who I was. Blogging helped bridge that gap effectively.
I'm a lifelong learner, and starting at SYNNEX presented a steep learning curve. I felt a desire to share my experiences and inspire others, and blogging became a natural outlet for this.
From my journey, I developed Jim Estill's Ten Rules of Blogging:
1. Have a Theme.
A clear theme attracts readers and provides structure for your blog. I chose "Time Leadership" because of my passion for time management, even publishing an audiobook on the subject. I am always eager to discover new ways to enhance time efficiency.
2. Commit to Consistency.
Blogging is akin to writing a newspaper column; readers expect regular updates. I aim to blog 5 to 6 days a week, occasionally skipping a day, thus experiencing the pressure writers often face.
3. Engage with Readers.
Blogging is interactive. Responding to comments is crucial, especially as the blog grows and garners more interaction.
4. Manage Your Time.
Blogging requires commitment. One of my time management rules is to balance my schedule?"dedicating 15 to 20 minutes daily to blogging requires cutting back elsewhere.
5. Stay Legal and Discreet.
Beyond adhering to legal standards, be cautious about sharing confidential business information. Some have faced job loss due to inappropriate blog content.
6. Maintain an Idea Repository.
Keep both electronic and paper files of blog ideas. This resource ensures you always have material to fall back on during uninspired days.
7. Incorporate Links.
Readers appreciate direct access to additional information. Linking enhances the utility and richness of your blog content.
8. Write for Enjoyment.
Only start blogging if you enjoy writing. It can be challenging at times, even for those who love it.
9. Be Genuine.
Authenticity resonates with readers. A genuine voice is more engaging than content produced by a ghostwriter.
10. Exercise Patience.
Building a readership takes time. Monitor your stats, but know that growth is gradual. I've noticed that my weekend readership is about half of what it is during the week.
Reflecting on these principles, am I now less mysterious?
