BLOGGING

Approach your blog like a business

If you want to get into blogging, then get ready to take it seriously. It’s a lot of work and it can be time-consuming. Here is how to get started with a plan so you don’t waste time and get the results you’re looking for! Learn how to blog like it’s a business.

I’m categorizing this post under ‘career’ because I’m treating blogging like a career, or part of a career. You may want to use a blog to build your business or expand on your brand. I’m a journalist, so for me, this blog has a number of purposes. It builds my brand, builds my audience, inspires me to create content outside of my day job and encourages me to stay up-to-date on the latest tech – another big plus as a journalist today.

Before you even start to blog, first, get ready to spend a lot of time building your blog. I can’t even count how many hours it took me. I got the domain name through GoDaddy, and then started building the blog on WordPress. I didn’t love the templates there so I researched until I found one I liked elsewhere.

Next, I had to install the template to WordPress and figure out how to actually use it! If you aren’t familiar with building blogs you may want to get a book or invest in a class – depending on what site you use to build it. I like the flexibility of WordPress. I taught myself WordPress but I have used it for years at this point.

After you build the blog you’ll then start creating your content! I wrote a few posts before realizing I needed a game plan.

MY PLAN:

– Write a certain amount of posts each week
– Share my posts to social media a certain number of days each week
– Create and upload videos about my blog posts to my YouTube a few times a month
– Send out newsletters each month
– Do social media marketing each month (an example of this is creating a short social media post to explain what my blog is about and asking people to subscribe)

It takes a lot of effort to build a blog, set a plan and continue to create – but if you want to be a blogger this is the best path to take. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Here’s what I’ve learned in the first month of parenting:

Breastfeeding while trying to eat with one hand should be an Olympic sport. 😂

I’ve been coming to the realization I may never sleep a full night again or ever stop worrying. 😅

Baby coos, smiles, laughs, cuddles and snuggles are better than anything in the world. 🫶

Other parents are essential to learn from and lean on for support and staying in touch with loved ones, family and friends, is vital for your mood and sanity. Even if you feel like you have no time in the world or feel overwhelmed by visitors, you can try to socialize virtually. 🤗

Having a supportive, loving and adoring partner like @mpjym is everything. ❤️
