February is now gone and it was a GREAT month! I celebrated my 30 something birthday and I had a blast. Matter of fact I am still celebrating. It was also a productive month for my blog. My social media followers have grown especially on Instagram and Twitter. Every single day I look forward to a notice from Hootsuite informing me of a new follower or mention! I get so excited.
I am truly excited that my blog has grown, however it has not grown as much as I want it to. To be honest, I am still flexing my writing muscles, so creating great content is a bit challenging. Luckily, I have joined a great blogging network, which allows me to interact other bloggers, gain ideas on future posts, etc. If you are a new blogger, I totally recommend joining a blogging network.
Blogger Relationships:
I have enjoyed interacting with other bloggers through my blogger network. It is a great way to network which is important to building your email list. I would like to meet and follow (5) new bloggers this month.
Read More Blogs:
READING other blogs is important. Not just blogs in genre, but others as well. My blog is mostly lifestyle and fashion based. However, I read blogs about music, business, DIY and others that peak my interest. :o)
Build Email List:
I should have started my email list a long time ago. Creation of an email list is essential to blogger growth. I am thinking of creating a monthly newsletter, which would showcase additional content, fashion tips and tricks, networking events, etc.
Batch Content:
Balancing my full time job and my blog is a little challenging, but manageable with the use of applications and effective scheduling. I have scheduled time during the weekend to write out my posts for the week including social media.
Take More Pictures:
I say this every single month. I need to take more pictures. I have been having a little anxiety about posting pictures of myself. Sounds weird right? Its the truth. After consulting with other bloggers; I have learned that there are others who have the same problem. I have partnered with a great photographer who also happens to be a fellow blogger. Check out my Instagram and Snapchat for more selfies! :o)
Product Hauls and Videos:
I always admired haul videos! I don’t have the professional photo set up, but my iPhone is just going to have to do! lol
