Tips for a successful blog

Today I have tips for you blog starters on how to be successful and keep posting. I know I haven't been really doing that but I am Doing daily DIYs for now. Also a person can't always dedicate our time to posting everyday on our blog. I am still in school so it is harder for me to post daily and even weekly. I haven't been posting for about 2 months. I am sorry I always promise I will be posting weekly etc. So this is a little disclaimer saying it's okay to not be posting all the time.

Tips to successful blogs:

1. Make your blog fun. Make it your own.
2. Create a home page (you usually should make that the first thing)
3. Tell people and viewers what they should be expecting you post. 
4. Plan ahead. (if you are doing weekly posts like I have been doing since Monday or so, create drafts of the upcoming posts you are making weather you are on the go or not. So it is just less work for you to do when that day comes.)
5. Use your free time/when you are absolutely bored to make some posts. Catch up!
6. If you haven't been posting for a while do a "catching up" post or "where have I been" post to let people know why you haven't been blogging as much as people were hoping.
7. Have fun with your blog.
8. Interact with your viewers. (such as post this [on instagram, twitter, etc.] and make them put a hashtag[#] so you can see it. Or give people your social media names so they can follow you and keep up with you. Or give people an email you set up specifically for the blog to answer and of your viewer's questions.
9. DON'T EVER let hate comments online from a stranger or verbally from a kid at school that has seen your blog, get to you. It is just the same when you start a new YouTube channel, expect hate but DO NOT pay attention to it. As Taylor Swift says "Hater gonna hate".
10. Have a signature, signature that you will put at the end of every one of your posts. (ex.               Stay Smiling,                                                                                                                               Lili☺                       )

I hope you all found this helpful if you are trying to start a new blog.

Good luck starting a new blog if you are, 

Have a great day,
