Just because your Facebook page isn’t as engaging as your Instagram, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t share on there as well. Share your blog across all your platforms and always have all social sharing channels on your blog. You never know where it’ll end up on and who’s share will make your post go viral! Sharing across all platforms can be a little tedious, but that shouldn’t stop you.

Helpful Social Media Tips

• Create a featured image and copy for each platform you’re using.
• Take a skillshare course on Pinterest best practices
• Get personal and engage with your following on IG
• Take a different approach to each platform
• Take your IG stories to the next level

Remember: Quality over quantity! Your audience needs a reason to stay. If there is nothing valuable or engaging in your blog posts, why would they?

When I first started blogging, I had no idea what blogging meant. Readers won’t begin to magically appear. You need to make things exciting and lure them in with value! Sure, you can write a sentence about your weekend and call it a day, but what’s the point?

Take a minute to plan out your content. Once you’ve figured out your audience and what they want to hear, come up with blog post ideas. Build on each post; that way, they stay on your website.

Don’t forget to be unique and personal. Your readers are following YOU. That means they are interested in what you have to say. Build a relationship with them by being honest, funny, personable, relatable, or valuable.

If you’re new to blogging, you don’t need to invest in a theme right away. You should get comfortable with the platform and get some feedback. Use a free template until you find one you love, and you’re skilled enough to know how to install it and use it.

Homepage Essentials

• Find a clean, elegant theme on Creative Market
• Have a logo, color palette, and tagline
• Mobile-optimization
• Place your CTA above the fold
• Easy to Navigate

Your website must be mobile-friendly. You will lose a lot of traffic if users can’t visit your site, especially those visiting via social media.

SEO is crucial! Make sure you instal Yoast SEO and optimize all content.

Do you sometimes feel like you forget why you started blogging in the first place? It happened to me for so long. I’d get so overwhelmed with creating blog content because I didn’t know who or what I wanted to convey.

When I rebranded, I made sure to list out my Mission, Vision, and Values so I can always look back at when I feel lost. You can see mine on my About Me Page.

Obviously, your “About Me” page is something you can keep tweaking because chances are, as you change and grow, your blog will too.

And trust me, once you define your mission, vision, and values, the ideas will start pouring in.

One little tip: Rewrite them as many times as you want! Read them out loud, show it to someone else, get feedback, and if you feel like it doesn’t define you or your blog, rewrite them.
