Mastering the art of blogging!


Hey readers, 

In the fast-paced world of blogging, consistency is key. Whether you're a seasoned blogger or just starting, managing a blogging schedule is crucial for success.

Mastering the art of blogging!

 Juggling content creation, promotion, and engagement can be overwhelming, but with a well-organised schedule, you can stay on track and build a thriving online presence.

In this blog post, I'll share some practical tips and strategies to help you master the art of blogging schedule management.

1. Set Clear Goals.

Before diving into the nitty-gritty of scheduling, it's essential to define your blogging goals. What do you want to achieve with your blog? 

Whether it's growing your audience, increasing engagement, or monetising your content, having clear goals will guide your schedule and help you prioritise tasks.

Consider breaking down your goals into short-term and long-term objectives. Short-term goals could include weekly or monthly targets for blog posts, social media updates, or email newsletters.

 Long-term goals may involve reaching a specific follower count, launching a product, or collaborating with other bloggers.

2. Create a Content Calendar.

A content calendar is the backbone of an effective blogging schedule. It allows you to plan and organise your content in advance, ensuring a consistent flow of posts.

 Start by outlining a monthly calendar and populate it with your blog post ideas, social media updates, and any other relevant tasks.

Consider using tools like Google Calendar, Trello, or CoSchedule to manage your content calendar. 

These tools often provide collaborative features, making it easy to coordinate with a team or keep track of individual tasks. 

Allocate specific days for different types of content, such as blog posts, social media updates, and email newsletters.

3. Know Your Audience.

Understanding your audience is crucial for creating content that resonates with them.

 Use analytics tools to gather insights into your audience demographics, interests, and online behaviour. 

By knowing your audience, you can tailor your content to meet their needs and preferences.

Consider creating audience personas to represent different segments of your target audience.

This will help you craft content that appeals to specific groups, ensuring a more personalised and engaging experience for your readers.

4. Batch Content Creation.

One of the most effective time-management strategies for bloggers is batching content creation.

 Instead of writing one blog post at a time, dedicate specific days or blocks of time to create multiple pieces of content in one go. 

This allows you to focus on a single task, minimising distractions and increasing overall productivity.

Start by outlining several blog post ideas and then move on to the writing phase.

 Batching not only streamlines the content creation process but also provides a buffer of scheduled posts in case unexpected challenges arise.

5. Be Realistic with Frequency.

While consistency is vital, it's equally important to be realistic about your blogging frequency. 

Assess your available time, energy, and resources to determine how often you can realistically publish new content.

 It's better to commit to a manageable schedule and stick to it than to overcommit and struggle to meet unrealistic expectations.

If you're just starting, consider a bi-weekly or monthly posting schedule and gradually increase frequency as you become more comfortable with your workflow. Quality should always take precedence over quantity.

6. Leverage Automation Tools.

Save time and streamline your blogging tasks by incorporating automation tools into your workflow

 Social media scheduling tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later can help you plan and schedule your posts in advance, ensuring a consistent online presence without the need for manual updates.

Additionally, consider using email marketing platforms like Mailchimp or ConvertKit to automate your newsletter distribution.

 Automation tools can handle routine tasks, freeing up more of your time for content creation and engagement with your audience.

7. Prioritise Engagement.

Blogging isn't just about creating content; it's also about building a community.

 Allocate time in your schedule for engaging with your audience through comments, social media, and other interactive channels.

 Responding to comments, participating in discussions, and acknowledging your audience's input fosters a sense of connection and loyalty.

Set aside specific blocks of time each day or week for engagement activities. 

This not only strengthens your relationship with your audience but also helps you stay attuned to their preferences and feedback.

8. Learn to Delegate.

If your blog has grown to the point where managing everything becomes overwhelming, it might be time to delegate tasks. 

Whether it's hiring freelancers for content creation, a virtual assistant for administrative tasks, or a social media manager for online promotion, delegating responsibilities can help you focus on your strengths and core aspects of blogging.

Clearly define roles and responsibilities, and communicate effectively with your team to maintain a cohesive workflow. 

Delegating allows you to scale your blog and take it to new heights without being bogged down by every detail.

Mastering the art of blogging schedule management is a journey that requires planning, flexibility, and a commitment to continuous improvement. 

By setting clear goals, creating a content calendar, understanding your audience, and leveraging automation tools, you can streamline your workflow and achieve consistency in your blogging efforts.

Remember that blogging is not just about producing content but also about building a community and fostering meaningful connections with your audience. 

Stay true to your goals, be realistic with your commitments, and enjoy the process of creating valuable content for your readers. 

With a well-managed blogging schedule, you'll be on your way to success in the dynamic and ever-evolving world of blogging.

Why you should start a mummy blog in 2023

Hey readers, 

Are you contemplating creating a mum blog but unsure whether you should go for it?

Why you should start a mummy blog in 2023


Here are the top five reasons why you should start a mummy blog right away. Mummy blogs have recently become a powerful force on the internet.

1. Sharing your experiences. 

Mothers have unique ideas and methods of accomplishing things. As mothers of developing children, you gain new knowledge every day. 

What better platform than your blog to share the lessons you've picked up and your experiences as a blogger? You will expand your audience and pick up fans that care about you and the information you give. 

You can interact and connect with other mummy bloggers who are on the same path as you and share your struggles by blogging. It's not just a way to express yourself.

2. Provide a creative outlet for yourself. 

Each of us possesses a creative quality that sets us apart. We all have a creative side to us, whether it be through writing, drawing, painting, sewing, or making items
.

The chance to see all of the imaginative concepts other mothers come up with motivates me to keep writing and producing material.

3. To strengthen your writing skills.
 
Beginning a blog, you may have limited writing skills.

Beginning off can be unpleasant and even strange at first. Yet, you'll find that writing becomes easier as you get into the swing of things. You'll be able to speak more effectively, and you'll create a style that is entirely your own.

You'll gain a solid understanding of what people respond to if you write frequently. 

This challenges your creativity and encourages you to write about topics readers enjoy. Thus, there will be a larger audience.

4. Earn extra income. 

A blog can generate income in several ways, including through advertising, affiliate marketing, guest blogging on other sites, and paid newspaper columns. 

A deal with a book publisher may be achievable if your blog gains popularity among readers.

5. You don't need to leave home

A blog may be started without a Degree, an office, or a small business loan, which appeals mainly to women who are searching for additional income streams so they can stay at home with their kids. 

It's a job they can do during their children's naps or while they are away at school, and it enables women like me who have left the workforce to raise a family to feel like a part of the tech age always helpful when your days are filled with nappies, dishes, and drool.

Mum bloggers only need a little additional money to pay for football lessons or a family; they don't have to quit their day jobs or earn enough money to support themselves.

why I blog.

Hey readers,

I love blogging and there are so many reasons why you should try it. Check out my reasons why I blog down below.  

why I blog

1. Share my thoughts.

I started my blog as a way to share my thoughts, they were personal to me, and sometimes they were light and fluffy. Depending on my mood and what I wanted to write the posts would reflect that.

 I write about life, which isn't perfect, sometimes I write a matter of fairness, and other times I write like my heart is on my sleeve. My blog is a place that is mine, and I write whatever tickles my tastes buds. 

2. Improve my writing ability.

I am not the best with grammar but being a blogger for a number of years has definitely helped me improve my writing abilities. I am nowhere near perfect but I have learned a lot over the years. 

I find writing has helped me channel my thoughts and write them down on my blog. As a regular blogger who writes twice a week the consistency and keeping in a routine has helped. Like anything the more you practice the better you get. 

3. Learn a skill

Blogging is learning a new skill from coming up with ideas on how to design your blog to work out how to share blog posts, how to write blog posts, and how to join in with blog links. All these things I never knew about before joining the blogging world. Obviously, I still have a lot to learn but looking back it is amazing how much I have developed over the years during my blogging journey. 

4.  Overcome trauma. 

Originally when I first started blogging the aim was for me to use blogging as a tool to distract me because I was going through some personal trauma. I needed something to take my mind off some heartache and blogging was just what I needed.

It really gave me something to focus on, learn and write. It was definitely a cathartic process for me when I first started blogging. Even now when I am going through difficult times I turn to my blog as a way of escapism to distract me from what is going on in life for a bit, really does help a lot.  

5.  Inspire others.

When writing personal stuff using my first-hand account of what it is like to have autism has helped people to understand or relate. It has made awareness to help understand which is positive all around because often voices aren't always heard because barriers get in the way such as not being from a middle-class background or male or whatever barrier.

 With the internet, this erases such blockages as blogging is accessible to anyone regardless of background etc. It is free to do so anyone can set up a blog and write authentically and without being influenced.  

6. Increases your confidence.

With time doing blogging helps increase your confidence because you get into a routine with writing and this forms your personal voice. With writing, you can share your thoughts with what you believe in and the thoughts you want to share

Blogging can give you a voice when as mentioned in the previous point at times barriers get in the way blogging is a place where you can write out your stresses and feel a lot lighter. As a blog is a documentation of your thoughts you can look back over past posts and can see the changes that you have made and the growth that you have done.

How brands can collaborate effectively with bloggers. **AD**

Hey readers,

I think as a brand it is really important to think about the way you work with other bloggers to promote your brand.

 Below I have some tips for brands on how to work with bloggers sucessfully.

How brands can collaborate effectively with bloggers.

Top tips on how brands can work with design bloggers and get the best out of the work arrangement. 

1. Selection process.

It is important to think about what your brand represents, you don't want to choose any blogger if they don't fit the brand or niche that they aim for.

The key is to take time your time in the selection process and consider bloggers that are appropriately matched to your brand.

 For example, there is no point in choosing a blogger who blogs about beauty to get to do a review of your restaurant. 

Another research method is to look for bloggers on Instagram. For example, an influencer who is already talking about your product or something similar that they tag in their pictures using.

 This indicates that the blogger is already got an interest in the product so comes across as more sincere than just choosing a blogger with no in the product beforehand. 

Look at the influencers past work and how they write, is it appealing to your brand. How is interacting with the blogger and their audience? These other elements consider when choosing the right candidate for your brand. 

2. Website.

Impressions count and making sure your website is optimised to the best of your ability is essential.

 Making sure that your website is clean and easy to navigate especially with quick load up is vital in getting visitors to your site. 

3.  Pitch perfect. 

Having a pitch ready before contacting a blogger is important. When you reach out to the blogger you want to be precise and clear about what you want.  

It is important, to be honest, as then that provides trust which is fundamental in making a good working relationship be successful. 

Layout what you want from the blogger and what you can offer the blogger in return. Be prepared in making a suitable pitch - be clear about what you want, set a budget and be honest. 

Remember though sometimes bloggers may want to negotiate if it doesn't feel right for them first off. Sometimes you have to work together to come to a suitable agreement so that everyone is happy with what they are doing. 

4. Goals.

Goals are something you should consider with where you want to improve with your brand. Things to consider are what you want to grow in terms of say growing your branded Instagram account, increasing sales of a product or bringing traffic to your website are just a few examples.

How brands can collaborate effectively with bloggers. 

 There are many ways in which a blogger can offer service when collaborating with your brand. Below are some examples.

1. Guest blogging.

Guest posts are similar to sponsored posts however they are not paid. They normally are written for the blogger to published on their site. 

This is attractive for the blogger as it is high-quality content published. The appeal to the brand is that it gets their name out there and helps increase their SEO along with not having to spend a penny on the advertising of the brand. 

2. Sponsored posts.

A sponsored post is where the blogger writes a blog post all about the product. 

There will be a discussion with the brand to decide on how long the blog post is and what kind of thing they would like the blogger to discuss. 

After the published post and everything is finalised the blogger will get paid a sum for doing the published post about their brand. 

3. Shoutouts.

This tends to be more suited for social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook where the blogger takes a photo of the brand and mentioned them in the post. The incentive will be either the blogger getting a free brand product or get paid for it. 

4. Affiliate posts. 

This is where the blogger writes about the product, then leaves a unique code for that product. It means that if you click on and buy the product the blogger will get say 10% of commissions from the sales of the product if the visitor buys the product through the link.  

5. Interviews. 

This is a more personal type of collaboration as it is about either getting to know the blogger or brand and discussions motivations and the ideas behind the work that the brand/blogger does. 

There are however alternatives whereby you have someone in the middle to help brands connect with the right bloggers for projects in which you are looking for a suitable blogger. 

A brilliant site that is really beneficial for bloggers and brands is called Get Blogged Marketplace

I myself have used this platform for me to quickly get connected to brands and work with them. I find it easy to navigate and a great way to connect to brands without faffing with emails etc. 

Using the Get Blogged Marketplace is time-efficient for you the brand so quickly to get access to bloggers. 

The platform is ideal if you don't have a big budget but still want to get quality bloggers that provide good content. 

The good news is that you can get a variety of skills from different UK design bloggers. The fact that many design bloggers return frequently to the Get blogged marketplace site means have been their long term relationship which inturn shows trust and reliability. 

 Using the Get Blogged marketplace for your brand you can grow their backlink score and shareable content. 

Not to mention that using Get Blogged marketplace you grown your SEO meaning that your brand gets seen which is important in growing your business. 

The Get Blogged marketplace allows you to add a free listing to the marketplace with what you are looking for.  

As many design bloggers come to the blogger outreach services daily to check to see if they can apply for opportunities. This is beneficial because it potentially means sourcing a good blogger to help achieve your goal of getting a collaboration

How brands can collaborate effectively with bloggers.

Below are my top 5 design blogs that can give you a feel of what good quality bloggers can bring to the table to help enhance your brand promotion. 

1. I love Typothology.

This blog specialises in all things typology with detailed information about the history, to quizzes and new fonts that are on the block right now. 

I love typothology
2. Google Design.

This blog is from Google so there will be a lot of information about Google products and services. However, don't let that put you off as there is a wealth of articles on the world of design such as, 'Lessons From the Scariest Design Disaster in American History'. 

Google Design
3. Wix Creative. 

Now Wix Creative in its own right is a blog platform but it also offers some really useful information on design. The type of content you will be able to get is inspiration, tips and general information such as how to create an online profile. 

Wix Creative
4. It's Nice That. 

This blog hosts a variety of topics from art, illustration and graphic designs. It's Nice That is one of the best sites out there to keep up to date with design information. 

It;s Nice That

Reasons to blog

Hey readers,

I have been blogging for over three years now and feel that I have some experience of this whole blogging malarky. 

If you have never blogged let me enlighten you as to why you should consider starting a blog.



Creativity.

Firstly, blogging can allow you to be creative. You don't have to focus on a niche. However, if you wanted to then that is fine because at the end of the day you can write whatever you want to. 

 That is the beauty about blogging, you can literally write about anything from domestic abuse to reasons to eat baked beans. 

It is a great tool for creativity and a way to express yourself to the world.

Therapy.

When I started blogging it was a distraction as I was going through some personal trauma. 

Blogging also helped me write down my feelings and express myself.

 I have autism and really struggle with verbal communication so blogged helped me look at how I was feeling and understand myself a bit better.

 With blogging, I can take my time and ponder.

 Blogging has helped me express myself when I maybe wouldn't have. 

Writing has helped me grow in confidence in working out how I feel and exploring reasons why I respond in the way that I do.

Spread awareness.

One positive about blogging is it can help raise awareness of a message you want to spread.

 Blog posts are fantastic as they are from the individual rather than an organisation. 

They are personal and tend to be raw, making it feel more real in a sense.

 Blogging is a platform to get your voice out there, anyone can read it and it isn't edited like professionals. I think that is one of the best things about blogs is that they tend to be first-hand accounts.

You learn about yourself.

I think exploring yourself can be quite hard but when you write it allows you to think about things.

 It makes your analysis and sees things maybe you might not instantly think of.

 Over time I have learned more about me through blogging and expanding areas of myself when I write.

Built an engagement.

Now, I am no great communicator but I will say that it has helped me get engaged with people.

 You may stumble across people that in normal life you would never have the opportunity to meet. 

Some bloggers make long-term friendship and think that is beautiful that something positive can come out of blogging.

Opens up to opportunities.

Blogging opens up to opportunities such as reviewing items or attending events.

 I am not the most successful blogger in this aspect but reading a lot of blogs if you are good at the social side of things then there are many doors that can be opened.

Make money.

Now, I have made the odd bit of money here and there which is fab as it has helped me when I really needed it.

 Some people can make a career out of blogging which I think is such an amazing opportunity to do something that you love.

Better writer.

As I have been blogging for a long period of time I feel that it has helped me be a better writer. I can write more words and can express myself better, which is always positive.

What to do when you are a blogger insomniac

Hey readers,

Sometimes I struggle to sleep. I have had sleeping problems all my life. However, I am now on medication. 


However, last week I messed up my medication so I ended up not taking. Because it was late and if I did take my medication it would result in me feeling dead the next day. 

Which would not be cool when you have two kids under five and you need to have the energy of superwomen. 

So when I am bored in the late hours wondering what the fuck to do here is the list of my ideas to keep you amused. Thank God I do blogging as well as it sure does kill time, haha!

1. Organised.

As a blogger, you can never be too organised. One idea is to catch up on all the blog posts that need to be done for the week.

2. Pinterest.

Pinterest kills time in an instant. Any old shit that you can think of can be found on this social media platform. It is great mind fantasying and activating your creative skills even if you are just dreaming that you can do, still fun to make boards with ideas/inspiration. That is the place to be my friend and at least it can save you money compared to going on eBay ;).

3. Brain dump. 

 Get writing and do a brain dump of potential blog ideas. This point can also be linked to number three as there is a host of information about ideas or prompts to get your moving in the right direction.

4. Youtube. 

 If all else fails then that don't fear as there is always old faithful YouTube to help take your blues away.

Do you blog? How do you find blogging and has it been helpful for insomnia?

How to create blog ideas.

Hey readers,

Have you ever suffered from writer's block and need inspiration for blog ideas? Well, look no further as I tell you some fab places to find content inspiration for your blog or whatever you need it for.




Here are my six ways to find inspiration to write.


1.  Websites of interest.

Obviously, a classic place would be to look on websites that relate to topics of interests, such as Mumsnet, Huffington post or even general newspapers. 

This can give you a broad sense of different topic ideas such as Mumsnet discusses parent matters such as potty training and dealing with getting a child ready to start school for example. But gives you a feel for ideas that they can inspire you.

2. Mind map.

A way to generate ideas is to do a thing called a mind map where you put your focus theme in the middle and generate subcategories relating to the main theme. 

You don't have to write sentences just words, pictures or anything that generates an idea. I find it really relaxing to get your creative juices flowing so to speak. 

The focus is on one word in the centre and then separate that topic into smaller ones such as school – bullying – education – special needs – learning – reading. 

You can just from that an example can generate a fair few ideas which then in turn such as education as a whole heap more and so forth.

3.  Blogs.

 The third tip is a classic one and that is to read other people's blogs that may be of similar interests to you.

 It can really help inspire when reading other people's work to get a feel of different styles of writing or ideas that you may not have thought about but trigger thoughts and ideas.

4. TweetChats.

Look at TweetChats on twitter as it is really good for getting you thinking. There are many regular chats on twitter, on a variety of topics so there are plenty of choices and look at things that may appeal to you to write about.

5. Answer The Public.

Answer The Public is a great website to see trending keywords on a topic of interest. All you need to do is type in a topic and it comes back with questions, topics and words that relate to your enquiry.

Plus it is free so take advantage of it,  I have found it very helpful for getting me motivated and finding ideas to write about and knowing that someone out in the universe will find it helpful.

6. Themes.
