However as a practice rule if you have extra blogging time one week, or you find yourself inspired and able to write more posts than you normally would then you should refrain from scheduling and publishing them all right away. Keep one or two blog posts in draft format for a rainy day, this could be if you get sick or if you just run out of inspiration one week you can simply use one of your pre-drafted posts that you wrote previously.

When writing a “rainy day” post as I like to call it, make sure it is a post that is not time sensitive and is a post that can be published 2 days from now or 2 months from now and still be just as relevant and important to the reader. By creating these timeless posts you don’t have the pressure of immediate publication and if you find that you have too many rainy day posts you can often use these posts as guest posts on other blogs if you have enough spares.

This is just one of the blogging tactics I have developed to help ensure I always have fresh content to publish on my blog and is a recommendation I give to fellow bloggers.

Do you yourself already implement a “rainy day” post system or do you schedule posts so far in the future that you can back date them in case you are unable to write or queue a post for the time you needed it? Share your blogging tip for making sure you keep your content on your blog fresh even when inspiration runs dry, or you just can’t find the time to update your blog.
