Great article!

Yes, I follow. Yes, it is necessary.

In fact, my workflow is just like yours.

The best part is, that once you write down all the steps, it is easier to see different parts that could be outsourced, thus streamlining your process even further.

Cheers,
Timo

You make some great points here. I like to write an outline as well before I write my posts, it helps me to write it better and see where I may have hole prior to writing.

I tend to skip the ideation phase and get right to writing. Then I go back and fix it later. Then I delete and start over. When a post is good I save it.

I think we all do this workflow thing in one way or another – and I especially encourage everyone to read comment #17, especially the part where it says PROMOTE IT!

I pretty much follow the exact same workflow except I may start up some drafts and set them aside and come back to them later. Definitely a good visual flow for bloggers to follow it is a method that is highly recommended, especially the double check and proof read part.

If it were me I’d add a few steps onto the end of this workflow:

6 – Make a video out of it: There are some really great videos out there where the author has made a presentation of the key points from the article and discussed them in depth. Definitely worth a go.

7 – Promote it: Tweet the URL, encourage your followers to comment, sign up for Feedburner so subscribers can receive email alerts, post it on Facebook. The options here are almost limitless.

Either way I think you still get a better result if you brainstorm the idea first. You stand a better chance of getting all the info required.

I follow a very similar workflow for my posts. I brainstorm and research pretty heavily and spend most of my time there. Once I know exactly what I want to say, writing it is a cinch!

This is of course a good model to follow. Just thought I would mention that if you cannot get someone to read your work before you post it, it may be best to at least let your work sit a few hours or a couple of days if necessary. If you are blogging everyday, then it is very important to have a capable person read your work first.

thanks Gautam, thats great , you did all but just didn’t publish the blog.. ha ha.. i am kidding.. We don’t have to follow the guideline all time.. we should rely on our creativity.. Its like a pen on a writers hand. when he got it with a paper,, great things can be happen. They don’t have to follow this guideline,, Its good for starters and all other static writers but not for all time. People get bored with same type of output al time.. what do you think

…and I totally screwed up on my comment. lol. I meant “your grammar and punctuation” not “you’re grammar.” Review before posting, sheesh. lol.

I think having a pattern or workflow is great. With a system in place, there’s always a way to check where you’re going wrong.

Steps 1 and 2 are most critical since they’ll dictate the whole essence of your blog post. Proof reading is MOST CRITICAL whenever you’re trying to sell an idea. Imagine if you’re blogging about “Writing Tips” and you’re grammar and punctuation are pfftt — total FAIL.

Yes getting another person to proof read makes the task even simpler.

Ideation can take place anywhere. That’s best part, when you have an idea, just jot it down and make relevant points.

Nice post. You’re right … too many bloggers write their stuff down without a) thinking about it much beforehand, b) proof-reading, and c) finalizing. So many blogs are written like stream of consciousness literature and it sure gets tedious having to wade through that stuff.
Proof read, proof read, proof read. And by all means, if your handle on the grammar of the language you are using is not robust and solid, get someone else to proof read it. Everyone makes mistakes; doing it frequently is just laziness

As an aside, I’ll have to admit that I cringed when I read the word “ideation” … I know it’s been around for a couple or three years … but I’m still in a state of denial over that one.

I agree, and I did the same mistake when i was a novice blogger, but after gaining knowledge about the likes and dislikes of the readers, I have started proofreading because readers like posts will lesser typo and grammatical mistakes

Many bloggers use the same method as you are using and end up wasting time in editing.

A structured approach increases productivity. This may not be the best approach for you but you will learn using a blog posting work-flow when you gain experience
