I’ve been telling people lately that I’ll be blogging more. So that’s what I’ve been doing.
It’s reminded me how having someone rely or wait on you for something specific helps with productivity. That’s how I get my fitness articles and guest blog posts written—because there are kind editors out there expecting them from me by a certain date.
If you find yourself struggling with blogger’s block, tell your most valued fitness clients that you’re about to blog on X topic and you’d love their opinions on whatever you write about.
There. Now you have a reason to blog.
A deadline.
And a pre-established audience.
That should whip you into blogging shape.

Love the idea of telling your clients to expect a new blog post in the coming days as a way to impose a deadline on yourself! Great tip thanks Amanda!
Really liked your presentation at CanFit Vancouver. Kept moving and had a lot or original information about blogging. Now if I could only get mine set up and sounds as snappy as you 🙂
Hey thanks for commenting on my blog! Knowing people are actually out there and aware when I add a new post really does create an incentive to blog more. Hopefully you feel the same about your blogs. It helps to have that network of fitness blogger supporters.
Coming from a blogging-neophyte, electronically-challenged, ball of annoying energy such as myself – if I can sit down long enough to figure out how to blog and then to blog (such a strange word) the only one who has an excuse not to is one without a computer!
Hi Amanda, I've got your blog on an RSS feed and look forward to your posts! I likely signed up after seeing you at a conference in Alberta. I try to blog about all things indoor cycling about 2x/month, which I just did last night. It's work but so well worth it to 'pay it forward' to the newbie spin instructors I train through AFLCA. My philosophy is why not share what has worked in my weekly classes over the past 8+ years!
Any thoughts on effectively blogging as a team? less pressure to constantly update, more time to put together something special … or loss of a coherent voice?
Stacy,
Thanks for reading my blog!
I think blogging as a team can work very well as long as everyone is on board with the theme, scope and intended audience of the blog. Copyblogger does a form of team blogging quite well.
