Bloggers: How well do you keep yourselves organized?

As bloggers, we need to keep track of many different things in the course of our writing, in addition to our usual responsibilities. If you blog regularly but do not stay organized, you’ll soon find that not only your blogging but also the rest of your life will rapidly devolve into chaos.

Bloggers are confronted by numerous tasks and concerns. The recent Google Page Rank Update (or Downgrade, depending on your point of view) has illustrated the need to cultivate sources of defensible traffic for your blog, as well as re-affirming the need for the development of new assessment metrics for blogs and websites, as well as the need for comprehensive discussion of these new assessment metrics by bloggers and sitemasters throughout the Internet and in offline communications channels. I believe that we need to be concerned a LOT less with Page Rank (We don’t need no stinkin’ Page Rank!!) and be FAR MORE CONCERNED with reader engagement on our blogs and websites (more on this in another post!!).

Other tasks that bloggers face:

1. Bloggers need to experiment with social media. Another task confronting the serious blogger (or problogger), is the necessity to wade into social media and experiment with it, to obtain exposure for their blogs and to secure additional traffic and RSS subscribers.
2. The need to read many other blogs, both within and without their respective niche.
3. Interaction with other blog authors. Networking is paramount for bloggers, especially probloggers.
4. Interaction with commenters.
5. Participation on blogging forums.
6. Participation in group writing projects. These help develop your writing skills as well as expose you to other blogs and their authors’ writing styles. You’ll also gain traffic and RSS subscribers, as well as valuable backlinks.
7. Participation in blog carnivals. These will expose your blog to more readers and bloggers and you’ll see increased traffic and subscribers and backlinks.
8. Article marketing. Writing articles and submitting them to article directories will increase your traffic and subscribership over time, especially if you submit many great articles on a regular basis.
9. Guest blogging. Networking with other blog authors will help you to secure guest blogging gigs on other blogs. These engagements will bring your dazzling blog more traffic and increased exposure to the blogosphere, and you will experience additional increases in RSS subscribership. You will get more backlinks.
10. Archiving of blog posts for the future. Life comes at you FAST!! You need to be prepared for the times when real life intrudes or otherwise PREVENTS you from being able to blog. You need to construct an insurance policy of sorts against the inevitable intrusions of life’s challenges. Develop at least ten surplus quality posts for those times when you just can’t blog.
11. Commenting on other blogs. If you want traffic and comments on your fine blog, this is a MUST!! Commenting is a currency in the blogosphere that you should be exchanging with other bloggers on a regular basis.

The above list is by no means exhaustive. You are starting to get a taste of all the tasks any serious blogger faces on a daily basis. There is only one way to deal with all of this: You have got to develop a schedule and stick to it. Make notes of what you need to get done concerning your blog and then complete those tasks! Institute an orderly structure in your blogging life! You’ll find that you will be a LOT MORE PRODUCTIVE when you have a good structured schedule in place!!

Well, it’s high time I turned the floor over to you!! How well do YOU keep yourselves organized, bloggers? Your comments and opinions are encouraged here! How many bloggers’ tasks did I forget to list lol? I’m sure there are a few!!

What are your thoughts on this matter? Do share it in the comment. Thank you for your time
