Start Up Kids Line

blog denial wakes me up a little bit

August 23rd, 2008

Here I thought I was such a good blogger and that I really do my best to share what I can…until I registered with blogHer and my blog was denied because it’s been way too long since I’ve updated the blog. They sent me a date, it’s been over a month. Yikes. Not such a good blogger.

In order to be considered for acceptance, they expect consistent updates. I wonder if that will be enough to kick me into gear. Everytime I think that somebody watching over my shoulder will make me behave better at work, it doesn’t. Maybe this time will be different.

We’ve had lots of topsy-turviness lately and I’ve had writer’s block. Which does no good for site SEO. I also have an issue with focus – no problem focusing on something, but when I do, everything else gets neglected. It’s a constant question on the mompreneursonline.com message boards – how do you balance raising kids w/ running a business? Yes, somebody, tell me how, oh how.

So what about the rest of you? Have  you started your business blogs yet? You know it’s HUGE for Search Engine Optimization. It’s something you can start even before your line is fully launched. It’s something you should start. I have a blog for our company that is separate from this blog, which is for sharing my behind-the-scenes experiences. I need to remember “content is king” and keep on creating…

Lately, I have no problem helping others with topics for their blogs, but I’ve had complete writer’s block when it comes to my blogs / website content / press realeases – anything. Maybe it was burnout. We finally took our annual vacation and I think it was actually refreshing and inspiring.  I have new ideas for the potential of the business blog, new ideas for reaching our target audience, and new design ideas. I’m just overwhelmed by the idea of implementing it all. But this blog post is a good start.

**I’m about to save this post and it strikes me just how perfect the words “blog denial” seem to be in the title of this post. I’ve totally been in blog denial.***
