Recently I asked on Instagram if any writers had questions or things they wanted to read about in regards to the craft of writing. One of the topics requested was about growing your blog, so in this post I am compiling a few tips I have on creating a thriving blog. Let's go. 1) Stay consistent. I know I talk about consistency a lot, but trust me, it is so important. Developing a consistent blog schedule makes your followers feel secure and helps them to trust you. After creating a consistent blog schedule, I have seen a drastic jump in my blog followers and views. 2) Write on relevant topics to your target audience. So the first step in this would be figuring out who your target audience is. For example, this section of my blog is dedicated specifically to writers. So I wouldn't post an article on the art of photography because that's not relevant to my audience. If your audience is teenagers, write about topics that are relevant to them. 3) Network with other bloggers. If you're on social media, connect with other writers/bloggers who are doing the same thing you want to do or who are writing about the same things you want to write about. There is power in community. Offer to guest post on each other's blogs, which will spread your writing to other audiences. Cheer each other on when you reach certain blogging goals or spread their blog links to your friends. Support each other. 4) Don't focus on numbers. The truth is that when you focus on your numbers and you check your blog statistics every day, you're going to lose your focus. You're not writing your blog to have 10,000 page views a month. You're writing your blog to glory Christ and because He has called you to write. Plus you love writing. If you're doing it for any other reason, you're going to take the joy out of it. Keep the right focus and write for the right reasons. Happy blogging!
