I’ve been blogging for a little over a year now and it didn’t take long to realize that I needed a routine if I were to ever stay sane while doing this. Blogging has proven to be a rewarding and positive outlet especially after the long and crazy days. Let’s face it.. Having a family, a social life and blogging especially for those who have a full-time job on top of all of this? It can feel impossible.
Being consistent on social media is always going to be the biggest ticket to growing. Your readers learn this routine, maybe you take up email marketing to go along with your blog, maybe you add in personalized freebies with every blog post. Seems even more impossible doesn’t it? Well, I am here to tell you that all of this is possible.
All of this being even remotely possible goes back to your content planner and your branding kit. When I started my blog I only had maybe 45 minutes-1 hour that I could set aside each week to do this. With maybe 10-15 minutes added in each day. Let’s just say, it didn’t take long for me to realize a consistent routine was needed. Desperately. I started with brainstorming 4-5 topics that I wanted to blog about per month, so one maybe two blog posts per week. From there I brainstormed ideas for Linkedin & Pinterest related to the blog post idea I had come up with for that week. After I did this, it seemed more obtainable.
Being successful in blogging and digital marketing does not mean you have to sacrifice your sanity or be near the edge of a mental breakdown.
There are several tools out there that can help you create content that your readers will love and that will help ease your workload, that will also not break the bank. Such as Canva Content Planner for planning all of your social media posts and Klaviyo for making all things email marketing easier. Notion is also going to be a great tool to organize all of your topics and social media post templates.
Whether you are working towards creating the life you have dreamt of or just finding a new hobby I would like to say.. Congrats! I am so proud of you and I am always here if you need to chat!
