One very common complaint I often hear when suggesting business people blog is that they don’t have time to blog. Today is one of those days when I really don’t have time to blog because I got a couple of projects to finish this morning, later I will be attending a GSATC networking lunch, then going to look at a potential future location for our business and finally to make a visit to a potential client out of town. Very busy day indeed. However I figured a would get a short blog out because it has been a while (in my mind anyway) since I posted anything. So how can one “blog” if they don’t “have time?” Here is a list of ideas;

• Keep it short and maybe share a schedule of your “busy day.” That alone will let others know what you are up to and involved with in your business - i.e. the paragraph above.
• Post a link to a web site or article you think would be useful for your readers - I plan on writing another longer post on this later.
• Post a photo of a new product, graphic of a new service or something your readers/viewers my find interesting to look at and a very short description.
• Consider using a service like Utterz to literally call in your message. This can be done while traveling, out for a walk or working around the house such as getting ready for the day. You can always expound on the info later. An example is the ones I have done. These messages can also be embedded into your own blog.
• Do an audio podcast like My Crazy Life - the podcaster does many of his episodes while walking in his neighborhood and not sitting in front of a computer and uploads them later in the day.

How have you blogged or seen others blog when they would have otherwise been to busy to blog?
