- What ways do you keep your audience engaged during a holiday?
Some great responses from our tweeps, inspiring ideas of holiday-related posts while you are on holiday. That is a great way to have a break, have fun, and keep your blogging efforts going, and consistent, all wrapped into one.
@socialwebcafe Participate in holiday themed link ups or blog topics #socialcafe #TBW— Krystal (@KrystalS) July 3, 2013 | A1. Planning is KEY, we make sure we have a few scheduled posts so that there is fresh content. #SocialCafe #TBW— TBW University (@TBWUniversity) July 3, 2013 |
- How do you make sure to keep balance during holidays?
Keeping balance is tricky. That doesn't always mean a complete absence of connection to your blog. Fortunately, there are tools available to help you be more efficient, especially with planning ahead.
The key is to do something that makes it easy for you to be away while you're on vacation, after all, we DO need breaks ;) #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop (@TheBlogWorkshop) July 3, 2013 | @TheBlogWorkshop A1: Guest posts and scheduled tweets, Facebook statuses, and blog posts. #TBW #socialcafe— FairyGlammother (@GlitteryGlossy) July 3, 2013 |
- Tips and tricks to blogging on holiday?
Using tools like Buffer and Hootsuite, as well as scheduling the blog posts, help to make our jobs easier. Also, smartphones come in handy, while on the vacation, to answer a quick tweet or status update, as well as email, text, and phone calls. Just remember that you are there to have a vacation/break, as well.
A2 I rest more than I do on non-vacation time. Make it a point to disengage some of the time ;) #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) July 3, 2013 | @socialwebcafe Stay consistent with your blog yet have fun! I love seeing more personal holiday posts like photos! #socialcafe #TBW— Krystal (@KrystalS) July 3, 2013 |
