    How to come up with fresh content every day

    One of the questions people often ask me is, "how do you come up with fresh content every day?"

    To many people, the thought of coming up with something new or different every single day is overwhelming. I've had a lot of people ask, "what's going to happen when you run out of content?"

    I'll tell you right now... coming up with fresh content every day is easy, if you keep your thoughts organized and easily accessible.

    Every time I have an idea, or I find myself laughing about something noteworthy, or I have a life observation, I hurry and add it to a list in my phone or iPad (which sync together). I have different lists for Single Dad Laughing and Will Work 4 Followers.

  • Write a new blog post HOW often?

    Write a new blog post HOW often?

    How often should you write and publish a new blog post? I guess that depends on how quickly you want your blog to grow.

    When I sat down and wrote my very first post for Single Dad Laughing, I did so harboring the memory of at least two other blogs that I had started and never went very far with before losing interest or giving up. I didn't want to do that again, so I made a firm decision that I was going to post something new every day for an entire year at least.

    As I've mentioned before, my goal when starting wasn't to build a big following. I just loved writing, and I made the goal because I saw the real life benefits that would come from turning it into a daily routine. I also knew that writing every day for a year would make the practice a deeply-rooted habit, and it was a habit I really wanted to have.
