These quick tips can be links to other blogs in your niche with a quick observation you made, or just a tip of the day you wanted to pass along that is relevant to your audience. I did this about 3 weeks back. The series was entitled "Quick Tips for Freelance Writers". I did it for a full week. I always explain why I'm doing it and it's worked out wonderfully for me. Great topic to think about. Yuwanda Kevin I’ve used a series of “Quick Tips” when I knew that I had a particularly hairy week on tap and wasn’t going to be able to post that frequently.

And if you blog just to make money, I'm sure you are better off without this! Selling the blog is a very good option if you are offered a smart price. Don't go for it if you have a successful blog. NetBusinessBlog was sold (by Matt to Adie) a couple of days back for a mere 13000$, but the blog WAS making over 1000$ per month. With increasing traffic and popularity, Matt could have easily fetched 13000$ within 6 months, and after that? he could have pocketed thousands of dollars each month! Getting others to post for you is ok, but i personally feel that readers are not 'that' keen on reading other's posts on your blog. After all they subscribe only because they like YOU and YOUR posts. Letting you readers know about your absense is the BEST option to chose from. Making a quick post tellng your reader why you are away and for how long will definitely help in maintaining loyal readership. I have personally experienced this. If a blogger stops posting in his blog for a couple of days, i unsubscribe. But if he leaves a message telling that he is away(for days or weeks) i NEVER unsubscribe! Nice post Kevin!

I find that the timestamp will become more and more important for me as I start to develop my other ideas online. Getting a frequency down is important. You build and expectation from your readership. If you change the experience that they expect you can seriously impact your return readers in a negative way. If you plan on making changes should you just tell them then? Worth noting some points on this one.

I always struggle to post daily, mainly because I'm running out of topic ideas and second because I never receive enough feedback Arrg, updating your blog daily can be very frustrating,

I do most of my posts over the weekends or late and night and timestamp lets me trickle those post (2 a day). It's a life saver. I suppose setting up a regular post schedule and not having erratic posting times would be beneficial to you and your readers. I love timestamp.

That way I can relax for the week (with a couple timely posts) and then just keep adding to them if I get time. Sure, it takes some planning, but I usually have at least four days of posts lined up :) That's why I try to keep ahead of my posts – mass post and time stamp it all.
