Five Building Blocks For Blogging Beginners BUSINESS

“Blogging is dead!”

That is the story we’ve been hearing over the last several years. Since Youtube, videos, and vlogging ones daily life has increased, people are declaring that blogging is dead.

But is this true?

In the past seven years of consistent blogging, we’ve seen so MUCH come back to us through our blog. So we say nay to that statement as we believe that blogging is still very real and ALIVE! And we’ve received a lot of questions! How did you get started? Why do you blog so much? What’s your motivation to continue blogging? We have waited quite some time to build up enough knowledge before sharing some foundational pieces to blogging beginners!

Before we begin, we want to give you some words of encouragement- blogging consistently is hard, but so worth it all. We really love doing it out of our hearts to encourage and build up other businesses. Seeing our couples light up with happiness as they see their sneak peek is breathtaking! Creating content for brides to be’s and helping them is what we love doing!!

 We’re going to share with you five fundamental blogging lessons that we have learned throughout the years of doing it!

Research, research, research

your topics!! There might be a lot of great content that you want to share, but researching and asking your clientele is SO important! This research will help you when creating your categories, which we dive into more on point number three!

Create a schedule

and be consistent with that schedule! This schedule should also be flexible with your main schedule. However, creating consistent content is great for your SEO, your Google ranking, and for your readers to know when you’re going to post! Think about your favorite Youtuber – you know when they’re going to post because they say it and stick to it!!

Find six to eight categories

that you enjoy writing about and stick to those!! That research that you did in point number one will come into play with this point. But (a big one for this), you can deviate off your findings for sharing about a topic you love!! You can always shrink or expand on more topics later, but start off with at least six so that you have a good rotation! That leads us to the next point…

Always rotate your content

through your, six to eight different topics or categories as WordPress likes to call them. If you share one category for one post the next should be on a topic that’s in another category. For example, we will write a personal post than an educated bride post than an education post. We are always rotating the content, and while it’s harder to do that at first, it’s so beneficial for your blog!

Create photographs

to be used all across your social media to make your workflow easier! Your header photograph should be able to be pinned to Pinterest and shared on Instagram stories! That way you’re not creating more work for yourself, but letting your blog help you on all fronts!!
