Advance posting could be one of the often overlooked features in most blogging platforms especially WordPress and Blogger. For sure this sounds ridiculous for veteran bloggers but yet many novices are still unaware of its powerful use.
If you’re still new to the blogging world, just like me, let me share how I use the advance posting feature. Some of the obvious reasons to publish your contents in advance is when you are planning to take a vacation, expecting family events wherein you need to be there, doing other projects, travel somewhere, or simply too busy with all the concerns of life.
Advance posting also help you avoid burnout from blogging which may lead to “blogging hiatus”. I may define this as having no post or unable to post for a very long period of time. There are other various reasons why we stop blogging for a long time but this may hurt your reader subscriptions. This may make your loyal readers wondering and missing you for so long.
Actually, many of the posts in this blog were posted in advance 2 weeks ago. I just log-in to moderate and answer any comments received. This allowed more time for me to do other projects and explore more things about the blogging world.
Of course this depends on what type of blog you have. If you are maintaining several content and affiliate based blogs, posting in advance is extremely helpful. If your blog is about news and events or a personal diary about your everyday life then this may not be applicable.
As mentioned above, one practical application of posting in advance is when you are promoting an affiliate product. I have learned that promoting affiliate products for long term success is by maintaining a content-based website wherein you need to pre-sell your visitors before directing them to your merchant’s site.
For example, if you are promoting beauty and health products from Moreniche you can use the free article resources provided at that site. What I do is rewrite them and then line them up for advance posting in my other blog. Shall we call that automated blogging? That’s actually one of the main features of the Spiderweb Marketing system. But I will not talk about that here.
For the sake of my beginner friends, here’s how you can schedule your post to appear on a certain time.
For WordPress Users (v.2.5+)
1. Write a new post as usual.
2. Look for the “Publish immediately” button located at the right sidebar, click Edit and you’ll see this.
3. Enter the new time you want your post to be published.
4. Don’t forget to enter you Tags and Category keywords.
5. Click Publish and you’re done!
For Blogger users.
1. Write a New Post.
2. Click the “Post Options” link just below the text area.
3. On the right part you’ll see this.
4. Enter the future time you intend for your post to appear.
5. Don’t forget to enter your labels for the post.
6. Click “Publish” and that’s all!

Hi,
I love this new feature of Blogger. The only problem is that I can’t post through my Scribefire and get it to work.
I love this post. This has been a problem for me. I usually have super busy days when I don’t have the time to blog. Thanks for sharing this great tip.
THANKS!!! It probably would have taken me YEARS to figure this out on my own!
This is a very good feature of wordpress and blogger.
In blogging, there are days that we’re not in mood of writing and no idea comes up in our minds. With this feature, it helped us to advance schedule our pre-written ideas at times we feel of writing a great topic.
thanks for your info….nice blog.

Has anyone had experience with a http://www.MerchantCashAdvance.com? Merchant cash advance companies like this loan your small business money based on your future credit card receivables and do not care about your credit. Is this a good idea? The interest rates for these small business loans look pretty high but it looks like it might be good idea if you cannot get a loan from a bank. This one company basically asked me what my average credit card receivables were for my restaurant over the past 4 months and offered to wire me the average of this within three to four business days. I cannot get a small business loan from a bank due to the credit crisis so any experiences with this type of small business loan/credit card factoring would be appreciated!
A housewife has beaten over 50 entries with her painful investment experience to win the top prize in this year’s “My Investment Story” competition.
Ms Annie Lok recounted how she sold a snack shop she and her husband had been running for their entire life for over $ 300,000 but lost it all after she was persuaded by her cousin to invest the money in shares which eventually became penny stocks when the market turned last year.
The money was intended to pay for the tuition fees of her son who was entering a well-known overseas university.
Ms Lok, together with nine other winners, will share their investment stories at an award presentation ceremony tonight to be hosted by the Chairman of the SFC, Mr Eddy Fong (Note1).
“The competition is a continued effort by the SFC to promote investor education. Through experience sharing, we hope the competition will help promulgate a healthy investment attitude and raise the public awareness of the associated risks before making investment decisions,” Mr Fong said.
“The winning stories provide some very useful lessons as to how gaining product knowledge, good risk management and proper attitudes toward investing can help make sound investment decisions,” he added.
The competition is organized jointly by the SFC and its media partners – Commercial Radio One and Sing Tao Daily. The winners were selected by a panel of judges.
Winners will share their investment experiences on Commercial Radio One programme “CrossTrade” every Tuesday and Thursday starting from 26 August. Winning entries will also be published in the Investment Weekly Magazine of Sing Tao Daily from the week of 25 August and on the SFC’s InvestEd website.

Hi. I regularly be familiar with this forum. This is the head together unequivocal to ask a topic.
How numberless in this forum are references progressive behind, disingenuous users?
Can I depute all the advice that there is?
Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
