A question we asked before here on JOAB is whether you blog in the weekends. I’ve noticed that in a lot of blogs, even those written supposedly for profit, weekends are slow days. I’m not sure if it’s because bloggers usually write posts from their computers at work, or most go on vacations during weekends, or because no one expects much readership during these times.

However, I tend to think against putting good blogging airtime (if there is such a thing) to waste. Weekends are a great time to recap whatever relevant events that have transpired during the week. And weekends are also good times to blog about what you intend to do in the coming week. Sure, only a few people would get to read these during the weekend itself, but by then those readers are likely to be more relaxed (free from the killer work-related stress). And this way they might better appreciate whatever you write, and perhaps even pitch in a comment or two.

If weekend blogging is too much effort for you, then you might want to consider these options.

1. Write posts in advance. Thursdays or Fridays—nearing that time when the workweek ends—are good times to do this.


2. Do a weekly round-up. Summarize all the relevant events and blog posts for that week, and link to these posts with some afterthoughts.


3. Write something off-topic. It’s the weekend, after all. If your blog is focused on a single niche, maybe you can write something off-topic or at least mildly related for a change.


4. Put up a link-blog. If you would rather not link to your own olders posts, then link elsewhere, with only minimal commentary for each link.

Blogging is an anytime activity, in my opinion. You shouldn’t let the fact that it’s a weekend hinder you from writing your thoughts.

Here’s looking forward to a great weekend!
