How to Improve Your Blog!

Hi everyone!
I've been really trying to improve my blog's quality ever since I figured out some key points to helping it succeed, so I thought it'd be fun to do a tip post to help you all make your blogs better than ever!:D Also, I'll have some random doll pictures in the post in case you just want to look at those.;D

 

Make the kind of posts you want to read!I think this is a huge thing for helping your blog improve! It's like when you're a writer and people say- "Write the book you would want to read!" it's so true! If you hate reading reviews and photoshoots, don't make those! Make the posts you're excited to see in your feed by other bloggers. If you love reading photostory series and lyric photoshoots, do those yourself! If you love what you blog, it's most likely that your readers will be able to tell that it's something you're passionate about and enjoy it more, too!:D

 

Don't make "filler" posts!!! EVER!!! XD

Filler posts- those posts you know the blogger just threw together because something is better than nothing, right?
Right?
WRONG!!!

No one wants to read a photoshoot where you don't say anything or engage them at all! If you don't put your all in your posts, don't post them!

 

Be humble.

This tip is about how to make yourself appealing to your readers, I guess. I know that I get SO bugged when I read someone start their post off like this---

Hi guys! 'Tis I, the most amazing ( ___insert name here    _)!

(Not anyone specifically, I'm just saying in general I see it a lot!;D)

I will literally be so annoyed, because even if you're kidding, know this- no one knows that, and at least I think you're super stuck-up. So, just try to be humble and stay away from those silly things so you don't get confused as a super annoying person.XD

(I used to do this when I very first started.

*cringing*)

 

Stick to your word.

This is something I am currently working on, as I have been a bit flaky with posting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday...

*smiles nervously*

But it's SO important to keep to your word! If you say you'll post the new part of your photostory series on Thursday, you better post it or people won't trust you anymore and won't take you seriously! It's nothing personal, but it's what happens.

(Bonus tip for those problems- there's this awesome thing called "scheduling posts". LOL!)

 The more you stick to your word and follow through, the more people will count on you to do the things you say!:)

 

Put your personality into it!!!!

This is big. If your blog doesn't have your voice in it, then who cares? If your readers don't love you, they won't care as much about your blog. So be yourself and don't shy away from who you really are! If you have an obsession with Doctor Who, tell everyone! Don't necessarily make everyone sick of it, but just sneakily add it to your posts. If you're a goofball, show everyone how crazy you were today, tell them stories! Just be yourself, no one wants to read posts that don't have any personality in it.:)

I hope these helped you, I know keeping these things in mind has helped me make my blog better, so I hope they help you guys, too!:D

P.S. I'm listening to Casting Crowns as I write this post! I love Casting Crowns....XD
