Most people don’t have to write any content. They last used their writing skills in high school, and they aren’t too concerned about whether they’ve eroded or not. But bloggers have to use their writing skills continously. When you start blogging, you realize just how tough it is to come up with orginal content. The only thing harder is to do it for a long enough period of time for it to matter. Even to add one post a day of content is more than probably most bloggers can handle.

Many bloggers have careers that spans days or even hours! Imagine the people who have managed to update continously for five years or longer: it’s pretty impressive. No wonder so many of the bloggers that are successful are the ones that have been around the longest. They have the greatest body of work, and generally have a high number of repeat visitors. So when you set out to blog, you aren’t really aware of the subtle fact that you have to keep on coming up with something to write about.

This makes “commentary” blogging the easiest format in most ways. You can drop a few lines of text in on almost any subject. You add your “2 cents” to someone else’s post, pretty much, and it saves you a ton of time in the long run. In fact, tossing in some commentary to an extant piece is one easy way to get by and I suggest it for any blog where you plan on updating a few hundred times monthly.

Do you have a tough time writing original content for your blog?
