Well, folks, Spring is once again upon us…
New trends, new blogs, and a fresh new peek into what I’ve learned during my bloggy year(s)!
In the first year, I did about 3 posts on stuff I’d learned, now I’m pretty sure these tried
and true things are a winning plan for any blogger to have a fun, successful experience.
Throughout the time I’ve spent blogging, these 6 things keep showing up over and over.
They are so simple, yet sometimes really tough to do, but here is my recipe for building
the best blog out there in 6 easy steps.
1)Be Yourself!
I can’t express this enough. We all know when someone is full of crap! Be honest. If you need a break, take one. Putting on a false sense of joy is too hard and your blog will suffer for it.
With that said, if a good ‘vent’ is the topic of the day, – go for it!
We all love to back a team-mate.
2) Get involved. Participate.
Who knows you’re here if you don’t tell them?
3) Be original and take clear, honest photos.
If you’re a smiler, smile 🙂 If you’re a great poser,
pose your ass off 😉
4) Make your blog easy to look at.
(Keep her clean and fresh) – my biggest problem struggle.
Stay on point and try to be brief. I know I have the attention span of a gnat.
(Time yourself. 3 minutes is about as long
as anyone can give to one blog.)
Put your best photo first for non-readers.
5) Have fun! Be creative and thoughtful of others.
6) Forget about the numbers! Many super-successful blogs have small ‘follower’ numbers, but have tons of hits per day. With Twitter and Facebook links available now, the sky’s the limit!
This is a very simple, yet effective blog plan.
It is meant for the sole purpose of enjoying your blog, not having it feel like a job.
As ‘plans’ go, however, once in a while you must pitch it and go another route.
AKA-follow your heart…
