So You Wanna Start / Grow a Blog? (Submit Your Questions!)
I will say this off the bat, I do NOT claim to be an expert on all things social media and all things blogging. The social media and blog world are changing SO rapidly (all. the. time.) that it’s nearly impossible to keep up and know what’s going on in every nook and cranny.
BUT, after blogging for nearly a decade and having used social media for both business and personal use over the years, I’ve learned a few things. And, once this became more of a full-time gig for me, I learned even more.
Blogging is SO much fun… I LOVE it. However, it’s definitely not easy.
Now, I EASILY get 3-4 emails and/or messages a week (probably more) from friends and readers who ask me something along the lines of, “I want to start a blog! What should I do first?” or “I have been blogging but I want to grow my blog, what should I do?”
There are so many ways to answer those questions and so many moving parts to consider… BUT, there are definitely a few “rules of thumb” and “best practices” that you can do when you’re starting out or looking to grow.
With all that being said, I figured it was high time I just went ahead and did a blog series on this very topic! It’s something I’ve wanted to do for awhile, I just hadn’t had the extra push I needed to get ‘r done.
I’m going to change that!
I want to make sure that I am answering the questions that you have and covering the topics you want to see covered!
SO, I would LOVE for you to leave a comment on this post with your question, your topic idea, etc. that you would like to see me talk about! If you don’t feel comfortable commenting, feel free to shoot me an email! I’m more than happy to keep it anonymous!
I can’t wait to dive into this with y’all!
I would love to hear your opinions/tips about giveaways and also I’d love to hear branding advice. I feel like you’ve branded yourself very well. While these are a little more advanced blogging topics, I would love to hear what you have to say.
My biggest challenge is growing my social accounts, specifically Instagram. Not matter what I try, it does not seem to grow. Do you have any advice on this topic?
I love this discussion topic. I’ve been thinking about starting a blog, but I feel like the topics I think of aren’t unique enough to gain a following. What are some tips to choosing an overall theme/mission? 🙂
A great idea for a series! My question is how to juggle social media while keeping your blog the focus 🙂
