Hey all!
I've been blogging for 9 months now. I'm really proud of what I've done so far. I remember when I first started, I had little idea of what to do. I did feel lost, but after getting genuine advice from some of my blogger friends, I found my way. I decided that today, I would share the same wisdom to anyone who just started blogging. These are tips and tricks that work for me. Let's begin! 1. Portion out time everyday to work on posts. Sometimes I just feel unbelievably uninspired, but it helps when I force myself to keep maybe 20, 30 minutes a day dedicated to coming up with blog ideas and starting / continuing any posts that I have. I find this works way better than churning out an entry in one or two days, and the quality of my content is usually much better as well because I'm spending time each day thinking and writing, and giving myself a wide range of time to come up with better ideas. 2. Make a posting schedule. When I first started blogging, I would upload posts whenever I finished writing them. I didn't really have a set schedule, so I would end up posting maybe once or twice a week, depending again on whenever I'd finish editing. Now, things have changed. I'm posting every Sunday, giving me a week to write entries. I think having a set schedule is helpful because personally it makes me feel more organized and consistent. 3. Write about anything you want. You don't need a theme or certain topic or anything; I'm all over the place! One week I'll post about books; another week I'll post something super educational. Whatever you want to do, do it. 4. If you feel frustrated, take a break. However long you need. Maybe a little 10 minute breather will suffice to get your ideas in order. Maybe it'll be two week break, maybe a couple of months. Relax; you don't want to stress out too much! Just take it slow, save the energy. 5. Make friends in the blogging world. This I cannot stress as much as I want to. Set up social media accounts on Twitter, Insta, Facebook, etc. Personally, my Twitter account is all I need. Get connected with other fellow bloggers. Read their posts, like and comment on everything. Most bloggers love that involvement from others. Don't be afraid that you'll seem annoying or anything by constantly being engaged with everyone, because the blogging community is honestly so amazing and caring. 6. Have posts ready to be edited or published. Always try to have finished posts in queue, so that you'll always have something to post, just in case. I recommend also getting a bunch of posts started; I like to create posts when I have ideas, jot down all the notes on those ideas I have in my head, and save. The next day I'll come back to those posts and begin writing and developing those ideas. I hope you enjoyed reading through these quick tips that work for me, and hopefully they do you some good as well. Happy Sunday!
