How To Blog Without Killing Yourself from Tim Ferris

July 1, 2009 · Filed Under Making Money

I’ve been on a short vacation to get away from everything for awhile including blog posting. When i got this morning I had great intentions of writing another (hopefully) useful post today. I started the coffee brewing and cranked up the laptop to check my mail and messages. Then jumped over to my feedreader and found two posts on the same topic with the same title. One was from JohnChow.com and the other from Kevin Muldoon from Blogging Tips. Both articles have essentially the same title as this post “How To Blog Without Killing Yourself”.

I’m a big fan of Kevin’s. He’s straightforward and clear in his posts and I always seem to garner some new insight from him. John Chow I enjoy when he stays on target about IM, not so much when he gives restaurant reviews. At some point in the past he had said something to effect that readers have complained about the reviews, however he does the review to provide a tax deduction for eating out. So, you have to give him credit there.

Anyway the posts from both these highly respected bloggers was about a video from Tim Ferris of the famous 4 Hour Work Week.This was originally a presentation at the San Francisco WordCamp this year. The content of the video includes:

Why I blog
How I blog and select best practices
Frequency and tools — best times and days to post
Blogging myths and how to harness data for better results
Testing design and surprising findings that can be copied
How I address comments and community building
How I write and research for good social media response
20 minutes of audience Q&A on Twitter, branding, outsourcing, and much more

The video is about 51 minutes long and is well worth the time it takes to watch. I’m certain you’ll pickup a few tips and maybe more. Get comfortable, get a cup of coffee or your favorite cold one, crank up the volume, watch and learn.
