HIVE GUIDE - The Blogging Habit instead of the Blogging Chore

It is time that I write another Guide for the new people that I onboard to Hive! I often get asked these questions:

• How do you know WHAT to blog about?
• How are you able to blog every day?
• What are you blogging about?
• Don't you run out of things to blog about?

And then I have to explain the philosophy of blogging about what you like doing! There are some other tips and tricks.

So let's start with the philosophy. Look at the title picture and the one below:

On the other side of the boardgame is @merenludick, busy taking pictures of what he likes: A boardgame.

He has been watching me and he often sees me taking pictures and he asks me: "Are you going to make another post dad?"

And then I need to answer: "I make a post every day Meren. But I post about different things each day. I am already (doing whatever it is I am taking pictures of), so then I will make a post to the (Appropriate Community)."

So this is the secret!

There are 7 days, I need to post about 7 different things in 7 different communities.

Do I have 7 things that I do every week? Let's see:

• Once a week, Sundays, I do The Busy Bee Activity Group stats post. That's one.
• I add to the Mortis Custos story once a week. Two.
• Gardening. Three.
• DIY. Four.
• Cooking. Five.

These I do quite often. Then I have a variety of topics I come to once in a while:

• Philosophy
• Worklife
• Photography
• Pets
• Hiking and travels
• Location (touristy stuff)

You see? Plenty variety!

On top of this, I post EVERY DAY about my tabletop hobby. I am using the HBD portion of this as my hobby fund because goodness me, I cannot afford a hobby allowance on my salary and budget!

The only other trick, besides making sure you post in a different community each day, is to make sure you always use all 10 tags!

Do that and you will be able to keep posting over and over!

Simple as that. Let's not make this guide too long! Go post something!

Cheers!
