I've been wanting to do something different with my blog lately, but I wasn't sure what to do, until now, and I wanted to gauge your thoughts on it.
I've been thinking about daily blogging for a while, but I didn't think I'd be able to sustain it. I did a blog every day in December last year, and while it wasn't great timing because I went away for part of the month, I found myself stuck at the computer for a few days trying to schedule enough content and thought I could never do this every day of the year. That was until recently when I thought of another way I could possibly make it sustainable for myself. That's not to say it still won't be a challenge, but if people can put together amazing vlogs every single day on YouTube, then surely I can do this. I'm also interested to see how a more long-term crack at daily blogging would help my blog's traffic.
So here's how I think I could potentially successfully tackle daily blogging.
I wouldn't be doing in depth posts about beauty, fashion and lifestyle every single day. While I would still have posts like this two or three times a week, other days would be more like short diary entries. They might be about a thought I've had that day, something I did or something that happened, something new I've brought, inspiration from a photo I've snapped that day, it could be anything really. It also means there won't be professional, put-together photos every single day, most likely they'll just come straight from my iPhone, though still likely edited with a pretty filter. But I think posts like that will give my blogs a more personal feel, with more curated content weaved in between.
The idea of giving this a go excites me, and I think come the start of Agust, which I realise is just around the corner, I'm going to give a crack. I at least want to try and keep it going for the month of Agust, and then maybe I can sit back and review and see if it's something I want to keep doing long-term.
What do you think?
P.S I will have a proper outfit post for the photo in the near future.

I have been thinking about the same thing, haha! I love other blogs where the authors daily blog, even though the posts are often just short journal-like entries, I find them interesting. So I would say - go for it! At least try it :)

Oh this sounds cool! I wish I could manage that. I'm thinking of daily blogging for Christmas this year though

Well done! Sounds good. Your blog is great xxx
ReplyDeleteIt sounds great! Maybe create a goal to do it for x days that way you can take a break if you want to, or continue. It's easier to have a measurable goal to begin with so you can work toward it. Perhaps say 100 days of daily blogging?
ReplyDeleteI think as long as content is meaningful you should be posting as little or as often as needed! You don't want to put too much presh on yourself.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you have the time and topics, why not!
ReplyDeleteI love this post xx
