Build a Blog

I have started a new blog recently which I have been doing a case study on, following its creation and statistics - The Photographer Blog, and I didn’t want to make the same mistakes I made when I started this blog. Which on the whole I didn’t, but I did come across a new set of problems with trying to write to two blogs at once.

1. Posting became less frequent on this blog due to researching the new blog, and then posting a lot to it because it’s new.
2. Researching took a lot more time than I thought it would and put out my posting schedules for both blogs. Consequently the new blog launched over a month later than I had planned.
3. If my organisation had been better could I have avoided this happening? Organising and planning the blog is fine but if it’s not carried through then it all goes wrong.
4. My two blogs are about completely different subjects, digital photography and blogging. So they do not overlap very well, if I had two blogs in similar subjects they could help each other more and link together better.
5. Writing to two blogs is a lot more work than I thought it would be. Therefore I have been spreading myself too thinly when it comes to marketing them. Which is a major problem as that is where I will generate traffic.

The positive thing that has come out of this is that I have recognised the problems, and can work towards changing them, learning from my new mistakes and improving for the future.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems when writing to more than one blog?

Thanks

Mandy
