The thing about having lots of money making blogs, which I've been talking about in the last couple of posts, is that you have to be quite organised and disciplined to keep everything ticking over.I said in the previous post about starting blogs: 'You wind them up and let them go.' And this is true, but all blogs need to be updated occasionally and this is where the organisation and discipline steps in.
I keep track of this myself with the 'favourites' option on my computer. I have a folder for each blog and in this I keep likely sources for information for posts in a prority order.
In other words I click on the first entry to see if there is anything about the particular niche that I could write about. If there isn't I move quickly on to the next entry and so on.
I also use Google alerts which helps me monitor people, events and so on that are relative to my blogs.
The SEO Keyword Suggstion Tool is one entry I have in all of my folders.
From this I can get lots of info and keywords which can give ideas for a post. For example if my blog was about say Cristiano Ronaldo the footballer (soccer) entering his name would give 50+ keywords and phrases, any one of which might be a theme for a post.
Other good sources of information (on Ronaldo as an example) would be:
Yahoo! News
Google News UK
MSN News
ShoutWire
You can search for tags on the likes of:
Wink People
Technorati Tags
digg
Or search for blogs on:
Technorati Blogs
Bloglines
Google Blog Search
There's probably info on the person / subject on:
Wikipedia
About.com
Answers to Questions might be found on:
answerbag
Yahoo! Answers
And so it goes on. I've barely touched the surface of what is available.
I've built up what I regard as possible sources for my blogs and, when I see I haven't updated a certain blog for a while, I delve into my favourites folder for that blog, and usually come up with something about which to write a post.
It's not rocket science. The info is out there.
I also flick through the likes of Google Trends to see if there is anything that might be about the subject matter of any of my blogs in general.
Running several blogs does take a bit of discipline and organisation but it can make money and money making is the name of the game.
Above all enjoy it.
Good luck,
Mike.
