Write on the weekends, manage on the weekdays
So lately I have been struggling with coming up with posts and content for my website. The issue isn't lack of ideas or creativity, its TIME! I have sooooo many ideas for posts, with awesome key words, but find myself lacking time to put everything together during the week.
Based on what I have read, in order to be successful in this business, AT LEAST 2-3 posts per week filled with interesting content, and great keywords. However, like most other people here, I have a full time job, work out everyday, and go out with friends. So many times during the week, I end up crashing before I can get on and post anything of value.
The fix???
So in trying to keep my Monday, Wednesday, and Friday posting schedule, I have come up with an idea that I think will help. My weekdays may be hectic, but most of my weekends are not. Sunday Funday usually consists of relaxing and laying around all day after a fun Saturday.
So what exactly is the fix? Write write write!!! This weekend, and from now on, I'll be writing 3 or 4 articles every weekend. I will definitely not be posting all of them at once, instead, I'll post one on Sunday, and then post the others throughout the week.
Now that all of the heavy lifting is done on the weekend, when I'm laying around and relaxing, during the week, I can log on every night to check updates, reply to comments, blog, help others with site feedback, and stuff like that.
I'm hoping this new tip will help me, and maybe help others as well. Have no time to write every few days? Do a bunch of bulk writing, then post those articles you wrote over the next few days. Good luck to everyone, and thanks for reading :)

Hi Jessie
Sounds like your plan fits in well with your lifestyle and that's important. It means you won't have to interfere with what you like to do and it won't then become something to resent.
You never know, perhaps your friends will come to see that you're making extra money without it affecting your relationships, friendships or social life and start to get curious about what you do :-))

Hi Mark! All of my friends are jealous and want to know more already :) It's time I need! lol :) I'm hoping a new schedule and plan like this will help that. Thanks again! -Jess
It is good to work out a routine that suits you, one of the things that appealed to me working online is I can work at any hour I choose which is great even did a post from the hospital just love it... so weekend is another good solution
That's awesome! I have done some writing at my main job. Working online using my own schedule is awesome!
Jessie; thanks for the idea. I am retired and seems I should have all the time in the world during weekdays, but that does not seem to be the case with other interruptions getting into the way. So the weekend idea make sense and letting them trickle out during the following week makes sense. I am going to try that. Thanks again.
Might be just a matter of setting aside a time when you can be dedicated to writing posts......weekends or weekdays ..... just needs to be dedicated to the task.

I like it - I may try it - I don't seem to be doing much posting on my site lately and I need to get back in the groove! Thanks.
