7 Resolutions Every Blogger Should Have
Thursday, December 31, 2015Participate More in the Community: Talk to people, don't just promote your blog on social media. Twitter chats are an awesome way to do this! Sometimes it's hard to get out of you shell but once you start participating, all that nervousness melts away. Join communities on facebook and support each other; you don't live in a void where just your blog exists. Comment on other bloggers' posts! Don't be shy! Everyone enjoys compliments!
Gain Loyal Readers: This is a hard one and it's one I haven't completely figured out; but I think participating more in the community is key to gaining those readers that'll stick around for your next post.
Know that it's Okay to Not Know: If you don't know something, like how I don't know all about the previous point, it's okay to ask for advice or help. There's a whole community out there that know the answer or also doesn't know! Don't beat yourself up for it, especially if you're just beginning to get into the world of blogging.
Improve Your Photos: There's always room for improvement! Trust your insticts, if you don't like a photo you took, don't use it and you take it another day! Being 100% happy with your blog photos is the most important thing because blogging is as much a written platform as it also is a visual one.
Be Proud of your Instagram Aesthetic: In the same root as the previous point, your photos play a huge role in your blog and Instagram is the best platform to showcase your style! If you're not happy with your insta aesthetic, make it better or start a new one!
Be More Confident: Be proud of you and your blog!! Don't compare yourself to others! You got this!! If you don't like your blog or wish it would look more like others, in terms of your logo or template, then change it. If you would like some advice to how to do this without spending any money, tell me down in the comments and I'll make a post later on on how I did it.Take control of your brand and blog, you can make it into anything you want it to be!
Numbers Aren't Everything: As bloggers that work closely to brands, we are often shot down because we don't have a big enough audience. Don't get too frustrated by this; remember quality over quantity. It's important to grow but don't focus too much on the numbers, everything will happen at its due time.

ReplyDeleteAll of these resolutions are really important to grow your blog organically. Participating more in community is something I am looking forward to. It's probably the best thing about bloggers' community - to work together <3
ReplyDeleteBlog & Instagram photos are really important and there's always room for improvement.

I definitely agree! I've just recently started participating in the community and I've noticed an amazing improvement in my views! So yay! lol Thanks for the comment, lovely! xo
DeleteI love these! I'm trying much harder to participate more within the blogging community, I'm actively trying to find blogs I haven't read before & meet bloggers I haven't spoken to before (Hi, by the way!) and I'm loving it! Improving my Insta is definitely a big thing for me this year too!
