Figuring out how to keep blogging for busy students challenges even the most resolute guy or gal in university.

Whether you tackle a heavy college workload or navigate a busy high school schedule, blogging feels like a stiff challenge.

Following a few basic steps to set aside blogging time helps you to get the job done even as a busy student.

I worked as a security guard many years ago. Late at night, when work slowed down, I pulled out my financial newspaper and traded stocks.

I learned a valuable lesson: knowing why you begin a side gig is the reason why you work the side gig. I worked a side gig because I desired freedom. I never did it just to make a few bucks. Respect this difference because it means going from survival mode to thriving mood.

How do you keep blogging on an uber busy student schedule?

Follow these tips.

1: Target Your Traffic

Busy students need to make every blogging second count.

Targeting blog traffic is the most direct way to blog effectively.

The leveraging activities listed under tip #4 below target blog traffic but stressing this point allows you to make a maximum impact in minimum time.

For example, spending 4 hours over 3 days writing an SEO-optimized post drives highly-targeted traffic to your blog around the clock. College students on a tight schedule can drive targeted traffic by spending 4 hours optimizing a post.

For 4 hours of smart blogging work you enjoy passive traffic while attending to student activities.

Target your blogging campaign. Do everything only to drive highly-targeted, passive traffic that grows your blogging success 24-7, 365.

2: Make Your Reason Why Fun and Freeing

Busy human beings make room for fun, freeing activities. Busy humans never make room for not too fun activities.

Attempting to figure out how to keep blogging for busy students hinges on why you blog.

You need to know why and the reason needs to be freeing to put in blogging work no matter what.

Most students struggle to blog because they cling to a weak or improper reason why they began blogging. Some blog part time just to make money.

Get a part time job if you want to make money because blogging requires substantial effort, generous time and a serious commitment to become profitable for you.

Get clear on why you blog. Make the reason mainly to have fun and to free yourself.

Blogging mainly for fun influences you to work-blog daily as a busy student. Blogging mainly for any other reason makes it tougher to blog daily because blogging feels like a chore to money or popularity seekers.

3: Adopt a Daily Mindset Ritual

Blogging feels tough to most busy students.

“Tough” = fear in your mind.

Face, feel and release the fear. “Tough” vanishes.

Blogging may feel tough because you fear not having enough time to blog. Classes, studies, exams and lectures appear to eat up most of your time.

But working on your mindset for 20-30 minutes daily unearths your fears to release these states of mind.

Being more fearless, you simply choose to spend 30-60 minutes daily blogging. Perhaps you stay up late. Maybe you wake early. The best strategy is to release lower energy activities to make room for higher energy blogging. Block YouTube, stop mindless gossip with students and eat for 10 minutes mindfully versus enjoying a leisurely 30 minute dinner.

Every human being has 24 hours of choices to make daily. Make one of those choices to blog for 30-60 minutes or longer daily.

Practical Tips

spend 20-30 minutes daily training your mind
meditate, do Kriya yoga, practice a Course in Miracles or follow whatever mental hygiene ritual resonates with you

Use time wisely by training your mind diligently.

4: Engage in Leveraging Activities to Save Time

Being a busy college or high school bee demands you to engage only in leveraging activities to save time.

Publish:

guest posts on top blogs from your niche
genuine blog comments on top blogs from your niche

While you are in the lecture hall, studying or taking exams, the blog posts, guest posts and friends you made leverage your presence for you passively, increasing your blog traffic and blogging profits.

Blog posts, guest posts and blogging buddies expand your presence most effectively if you have only a few hours to blog daily. Help fellow bloggers. Ask for nothing in return. Build bonds. Thrive as your targeted content and blogging friends grow your traffic and profits passively.

Publish helpful content through your blog and guest posts. Engage bloggers a little bit on social media but spend most time and energy promoting bloggers and creating content to reach the most targeted folks in as little time as possible.

Guest blogging and genuine blog commenting give you massive bang for your blogging student buck.

5: Accept Guest Bloggers

Open your blog to guest blogging.

Save time and energy by allowing bloggers to write and publish content for you.

A contributor published the most popular Blogging From Paradise post. All I had to do was publish the sucker.

Guest bloggers help busy college students leverage their time by writing and submitting content to drive passive, targeted blog traffic. While you sit in a lecture hall a contributor increases your blog traffic and profits passively.

Practical Tips

approve skilled blog contributors by vetting their work before publishing guest posts
offer trusted contributors admin rights to drive passive, targeted blog traffic
publish a guest contributor page to detail guest blogging rules and regulations

Hand the reigns to fellow bloggers. In essence, publish posts on auto pilot with some light editing, of course.
