Blogging Tips Thursday- 3 Posts Full of Blogging Goodness!

There are so many awesome bloggers out there today who are totally rocking their blogs! That’s why I love Blogging Tips Thursday, sometimes you’ll get posts from me about things I’ve learned or how I’m doing things, and sometimes I’ll share helpful posts from other mamas who are getting stuff done!

 

This week I’ve come across some really great posts. If you’ve ever wanted to make your own printables for your blog but you just didn’t know how, you have to check out this post How to Make Your Own Printables from What Mommy Does, it’s absolutely amazing! I love that Lena breaks everything down into simple steps so even someone non technical like me can follow along.

 

If you’ve ever wondered about what you need to do before you start your business, then you’ll want to have a look at this post 6 Things Moms Need to do Before Starting a Business from Singing Through The Rain. And let’s face it, unless you’re blogging so you can share your life with your friends and family (which is okay, but then you’re not looking to earn a living from that), our blogs are our business!

I especially like number 2. It has been hard for me to accept that I need to do this, but lately I’ve been reaching out (I even scheduled a coaching session with another successful blogger, yay me!) and I’m surprised at how many bloggers are actually willing to help and answer questions. Find yourself a great blogging group to get into, having support from other bloggers is not only encouraging, but crucial for your blogging success.

 

So if you’ve been blogging for any amount of time you know that it’s not just about getting up content, it’s about people actually visiting your blog and reading it. And this, my friends, is what’s hard about blogging. (Well that and a few other {hundred} things!)

This post 55 Ways to Get Traffic to a Brand New Blog from Living For Naptime is a must read, even if your blog isn’t brand new but you’re still struggling to get your posts seen. My next area to tackle is Pinterest!

 

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about blogging is that there are always more blogging tips to learn. The good thing is that there are all kinds of helpful bloggers who will share their knowledge and expertise with you, whether it’s through their blog posts, classes, groups, Facebook or email. If emailing, just remember not to ask too much (after all, that’s what Google is for!) because their time is valuable as they have to work and earn a living, too.

Hope this Blogging Tips Thursday has been helpful! Have a question or something you need help with? Let me know in the comments, I’ll do my best to dig up the info for you!
