Saving Yourself From Blogging Boredom

This is a guest post by Peter from Ideas Bubble that is helping us today with ways to save our self from blogging boredom which undoubtedly a blogger faces sometimes. This post is a great survival guide.

(ADMIN NOTE: The recent issue with SmartBloggerz commenting system that restricted many of you to post comments from past 4-5 days has been fixed. You can comment now easily. Let me know if you are still facing any problem.)

7 days a week, a few times posting a week, commenting and guest posting; it all builds up, and before you know it you’ve lost complete interest in blogging. Things can become extremely repetitive if you don’t keep looking for different ways to fuel your interest in the blogosphere.

This can also explain why so many people end up quitting blogging, they don’t achieve the goals that they want or they lose interest. To avoid the same fate as what many people have had before us, there are certain things we can do to escape.

Here Are Just A Few Tips You Can Use To Save Yourself From Blogging Boredom:


Take A Break Already

Your latest post probably can wait till tomorrow, do you seriously need to post every single day? Over working yourself can be one of the prime reasons why people grow bored of blogging. Results don’t just appear straight away, so always be prepared to take a break when you start to notice that nothing is happening for you.

Always Look For New Things To Do

Bloggers get bored because they end up doing the same thing over and over and over, write a guest post and then comment. We need to keep on finding new things to motivate, which is why we should always be on the lookout for them. Why not write a new eBook, host a competition or do a guest posting marathon. These are all things we can do to cure ourselves from boredom.

Find New Readership

New people are always out there for you to amaze. There is bound for there to be someone out there who wants to hear something new from you, so why not give it to them? There is always excitement in building up a strong new friendship with a fellow blogger that you’ve just met. The more you get out and meet, the more you will start to enjoy yourself 😉

Competitions Keep You Going

I love a good competitive competition, one that involves heavy promotion and guest posting. Competitions are also a great way of curing boredom as they give you something new to do that isn’t just constricted around your blog. It also ties in with the point above, of making new readership and friends, as guest posting also does that for you.

Start Tinkering

This can pass way too much time, seriously.  When I’m bored, I might decide to pass the time by modifying my template a small bit, and then this can turn into a full on design change.  If you decide to change something, you might come up with a whole new idea, there goes a few hours… And you’re instantly cured from blogging boredom.

Visit A Website You Hate The Most

This technique doesn’t always work, but if you know a website that you really hate, simply go visit it. It might give you the determination to continue on and achieve something greater than it; I’m not too sure if this technique completely works though. Hope it doesn’t have the adverse effect either. 😛

    1. i agree to that . having clear target infront of you and a disciplined approach kills boredom .. . blogging iteslef is fun job , but you will never know when you have cut your real life social links ….

  2. I was about to quit blogging before I read this blog of yours. It made me think twice about quitting and opted to try out your suggestions. If this does not work then only will I quit. Thanks for the encouragement. I hope everything goes well.

  3. I only blog if there is really a topic that interests me. I always follow tip no.1. I think it is really not a must to blog everyday. Some bloggers do this just to give there readers a fresh content. But a fresh content doesn’t necessarily guarantee reader’s satisfaction. It’s also okay to keep them waiting for a short period of time so that they get excited with every post you make. One can also make their blogs open t guests bloggers so that a variety of views will be experienced by the readers. 🙂

  4. Great post , Peter. All the tips are very useful for every blogger. I like 2 tips take a break and find new readership. Anyway, thanks for your sharing, Peter.

  5. Some days ago I tried many times to write comment on this blog but my comment was in problem. By reading this post I am encouraged and trying again. It is good to take rest after long blogging and go for brain storming.In this way you will comfort and enjoy blogging.

  6. Competition is what makes blogging challenging and yes it surely does ease boredom. When I see that my competitors have an eye-catching content, it makes me think of something new and better for my blog. Of course, I don’t want to be left out in the competition. I also follow tip no.1 a lot. If one blogs everyday, blogging can really mean a whole lot of work. But if you take a break once in a while, you will think of it more as a past time that you love doing and not as a heavy work.

  7. I am really getting bored of blogging. It seems like I can’t think of any good ideas. My blog’s traffic isn’t that bad but I can’t seem to get myself to write something. I would try out the tips you posted and hope that it would get me writing again. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful and definitely useful post.

  8. Visit the website I hate most…Thanks for this one.Initially I thought it was meant to humor but yes you proved good points here. Visiting websites that frustrates me recharges my motivation not to ever let my post look that bad 😉

  9. That’s a great post! Most important point of blogging is more interaction other with your post. Share your post with other using social media tools that make your blog more profitable.

  10. Nice tips Peter, I would say the best thing to overcome the boredom in blogging is to keep on learning new things and keep on challenging yourself to do new tasks. I agree with that competition is good way to keep boredom away but it should always be positive competition.
