3 Tips For New Bloggers

I've had my blog for over a year now, and in that time I've learnt a lot about blogging!! Today I thought I'd share with you some tips on being a blogger for if you're wanting to start a blog.

Don't Worry About Numbers
The first tip and probably one of the most important is to not worry about your numbers. The day that you upload your first post, as harsh as it sounds, don't expect many views. I didn't start to see a difference in my views until about October 2015 and that was two months after I had started my blog. Don't get addicted to your page views and comments because you'll probably be disheartened and it may pit you off of blogging.

Use Social Media
Another very popular tip is to use social media, as you will know social media has literally taken over most people's lives (like mine!) So sharing your blogposts on there are super good ways to gain new readers. Just make sure that you don't bombard your followers every ten minutes with 'check out my new post' or 'I've posted a blogpost, please check it out'. Because you'll most likely lose readers and followers rather than gaining them!!

Plan, Plan, Plan
If you're only going to take one tip from this post today, please make sure it's this! make sure you plan your posts! I've learnt this the hard way, because if you don't plan and prewrite your posts you'll most likely fall behind in your schedule and stress your self out which could ultimately lead to you not being able to post on your blog!!

So those are some of my tips for new bloggers, I hope this helped you if you're thinking about starting my blog, but I must say probably my biggest tip would just be to go for it! You never know what might happen and it's also a super fun hobby that can help you meet amazing people!!
