How do I manage to produce content every day? I publish content regularly and daily on different social media accounts, for different niches with different content, purpose and intention.
For many people it’s a struggle to produce content, especially valuable, high quality content consistently and I believe for a lot of Steemians that is the case too. 

The true key to growing an audience, building a brand, drawing attention to your published work requires the skill of:

CONSISTENCY

The other important key to creating great work daily: being PROLIFIC! (I used to say productive, because in german you say „produktiv“ so just slightly different, but I learned this new english term and like it better)
If you try to set up a system that involves your creativity, you have to find a method that enables you to write a lot every single day. Here are some tips that I personally use and hope you will find helpful:

FIND YOUR CREATIVE TIME OF THE DAY

I have asked some blogger friends of mine and this is what most of them tell me:  They get up early in the morning before most people wake up (between 5 and 7 AM), grab a coffee, sometimes get a quick workout in and start writing immediately. They say that only in that time span they can get the writing done that they need to, also they feel the most clear-headed and creative in the morning. 

If that’s you.. great! If not… me either.  
In the morning I like to do everything else, be active, but not sit down and write. I’ve noticed that my brain always needs a warm-up, so yes it is possible for me to start writing half way into the day, but since I’m busy during the day that doesn’t work. I found out that I can actually write best right after everyone goes to bed at night, right after 8 PM that’s when my brain is fully charged, not to have intense meetings or talk a lot (that would be mid-day like for most people), but simply to write.  
When it’s dark outside, everything is silent, I take my laptop, sit on my bed or a comfortable chair, sometimes when I feel like it play music in the background, a tea or hot chocolate and I get in my writing zone. 

I write for as long as I can, go to bed and with a clear head go through my writing the next morning, do corrections, add or change formatting and publish it later during the day. That way I can do everything else during the day and still publish mid-day, by just hitting the „submit button“. If you write in advance it also takes away that pressure you might feel. Sometimes I write at night and publish it right away (like right now), but then I still write a prep-post for the next day (just like some do prep-meals you can do prep-writing). This writing habit includes all kinds of content, such as blogposts or social media captions and hashtags for online businesses, clients, and my own things.

You might be a morning person who likes to get stuff right before the day starts and the sun rises, or you’re more like me and focused at night when everyone is asleep and only do a touch-up/ final draft in the morning. Notice that the two options of time I’m giving you have one thing in common, they are either before or after a day, instead of during. Why? Because 1.) No distractions, which means less excuses; 2.) No people asking requests; 3.) The great feeling of starting or ending your day right.

"STARVE YOUR DISTRACTIONS AND FEED YOUR FOCUS!"

Whatever time you find yourself to be most productive at, stick with that time and don’t try to force yourself to work at someone else’s time. For quite a while I thought that because most people get their writing done early in the morning that I had to adapt to that until I realized that you can’t copy anyone’s schedule, just like you can’t copy someone’s brain, spirit, motivation and comfort. There is no one-fits-all solution or one perfect daily routine, but whatever works for you best is the perfect routine.

I hope you by now agree that finding your creative time of the day is important.. just like creating a system that keeps you accountable! Some people are naturally self-disciplined and accountable, others (like me) are happy that there are tools that help you spark your flow of creativity and keeps you consistent:

PROPS!

Tool such as the Calmly Writer APP can be very helpful when it comes to getting in your zone. This application helps you focus and makes the process of writing more fun. Take a look:

Also it’s important to have your notifications turned OFF and only your screen ON. All tempting distractions you put out of sight and reach (even though there shouldn’t be many if you know your productive time is when most people are asleep), position yourself in the right environment and start writing!

PLAN!

It’s good to have an approximation of length of text in mind before you start to write as a „goal“, because once you have that in mind you automatically work more efficiently, knowing that you’re working towards something. It’s up to you how much you want to write, for a blogpost that could be somewhere around 450-700 or maybe 550-1000 words. 

Also it’s a great idea to have neat folders with dates on your desktop so that you can look back on the structure of all your writing, see where you’re going with your blog, articles, writing and based on that decide what you’re going to write on next.
 

REWARD: CHECKLIST!

Have a calender on your wall or your notebook, somewhere where you see it every day and make a big cross every day you get this feeling of satisfaction, you can see how far you’ve come which is a great reward to start or end your day. Your system should be encouraging! If you don’t feel encouraged to continue the process that’s when consistency starts lacking. makes you feel good about continuing the process, good feeling of seeing work get done.

BUT WHAT IF ONE DAY YOU JUST DON’T FEEL CREATIVE?  
Well there is a solution for that as well, but that’s for Part 2.
I hope you enjoyed the read. Let me know what topics you mostly enjoy to read about.
