Blog Burnout

Posted Feb 4, 2008 @ 10:16 am, Viewed by 328 Visitors, Read 361 Times.

I have noticed over the past few months that some active blogs about the real estate topic have become dormant or have very few recent posts. I know some days I have no desire to write, or I run out of ideas to write about. I was just wondering if this has happened to any of you in the past. I am not just talking about REW. I am talking personal blogs that I like to read and even on AR some of the former top bloggers are no longer available. I wonder if some of them have changed careers, or are like some of us beginning to get calls and are to busy to blog as much. If you do get burned out, what do you do to get back in the mood?

It could just be the season. I never feel like blogging in the Winter It might just be worse for me over in BC because our winters take up 3/4s of the year. If I'm really desperate, I will post an instructional post on something. IE. How to unfreeze an Ipod, Embed a YouTube video, etc.

I can say for me, it is lack of time. I have been so busy lately I cannot find the time to blog as much as I want to. I always have tons of ideas and being busy gives me even more ideas, but time is the hard thing. I think I need to sleep less than I already do

mFarmer that seems more like link spam or promotion than a comment - did you read this persons post? (Not to self, kill love links in blog comments) Back to the ACTUAL subject of the post - Honestly, it is usually a function of time (Available time) for me - when I am not so busy, I get busy blogging so that I can get busy again - Once I am busy again I have no time to keep myself busy - did that make sense?

Nick-I know what you mean about the winter season although it is shorter here in Georgia. I hope to be able to use the excuse some time again that I am not blogging because I have so many closings coming up that I cannot even make it to my computer. Indy-For me the time thing plays a big part. Evem more now that I have two children wanting time with Daddy. Morgan-I am not sure how to remove the link without just deleting the post. Also I am sorry you are having to deal with the Google thing.

Yes, I read his post, in part he was lamenting the fact that some of the blogs he likes to read are no longer active. I get him a link to mine in hopes he will like it. I am not burned out. If you have a problem with it, delete it.

I am just busier then I have been and can't seem to find the time to sit down long enough to write. I've got a few things coming up though, but to answer your question. I'm very busy at the moment... YAY!

I feel blessed to say that I have been busy as well. Good luck with your business, and I think we may even get busier as spring approaches.

I meant, "I gave him a link" I don't see this as spam. I mean, I'm not selling anything. I have a blog I enjoy posting to, and I posted a link. However, if you think it's spam, please delete. As for burn out, I have no idea how to deal with that -- I've never been burned out. I enjoy writing and I just write. I can see if somene is writing a blog for business and they really don't like writing, it could get old. I don't really ever write for business. I do like, however, to have readers who comment and participate, because it's a good way to learn nd get to know people.
