Running a blog can be a full-time job. It was a full-time job for me for many years, and it does require consistent creative content. If you are looking to blog successfully, you should be aware of how much work is required to keep your blog searchable and engaging. You want as many views as possible, and so you have to ensure you are using SEO techniques correctly and bringing some form of value to your readers.

It is also important to blog for the right reasons. If you are only starting up blog to make money, you might find it harder to stay motivated, especially in the early stages when it can be really quiet. It takes a lot of resources to build a blog from scatch and to maintain it, so ensure you are in it for the right reasons and not just to make a quick buck!

3 Blogging Content Tips

Blogging content is a lot of work but it is so worth it. So if you are still reading, here are some blogging content tips for you –

Aim for quality over quantity

This is one tip I struggled with in the early days. I always felt like I had to blog everyday, regardless of whether I felt like it or if the blog post was really worth publishing. These days, I opt for quality over quantity. Life is really busy for me, and I don’t have as much time as I would like to have for blog content creation, so it is quality over quantity for Fashion and Style Police. Having said that, I will be posting more frequently on here, so keep watching this space.

When it comes to aiming for quality over quantity, go for detailed and valuable posts, over shorter and more shallow content if possible. Quality posts do better on search engines, and would serve your blog in the long run. Opt for evergreen content as they remain relevant and can bring in long-term blog traffic.

Find your niche

Finding your niche helps you stay focused and motivated. It also helps draw in regular readers and having a strong niche is also great for your blog’s SEO. This is why it is a great idea to blog on topics and themes you are passionate about to avoid experiencing burnout or the dreaded writer’s block.

Be Yourself

I saved the best for last with this tip! There are millions of blogs online from creators all over the world. The only way to stand out is to be yourself. It is super easy to get carried away with the charm of another blog that seems similar to yours, but in the long run, sharing your personal views, lessons, stories and experiences would sustain your blog. So just be yourself and enjoy the blogging experience. My blog really took off when I started to blog as myself and not as other popular lifestyle bloggers.

September 13, 2024 By in Blogging Tips Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

The writer’s block is real and I have experienced many times in the last few years. It intensifies when you are very busy and you still want to juggle along with so many other commitments. The good thing about experiencing the writer’s block is that it forces you to take a break and also shows you why it is important to plan your blog content well in advance, so if and when the writer’s block hits, your blog would stay updated. If you are a new blogger, and you are wondering where to start when it comes to blog topic ideas, you have landed on the right page. Here are 5 blog topic ideas for new bloggers you may find inspiring –

Fashion Blogging

This blogging niche is quite broad, which is a good thing. It allows you play around with different fashion topics, and decide on what you want your blog to focus on. You could blog on your personal style or focus on celebrity style and fashion news. The choice is yours and there are loads of options to pick. You could also blog about different fashion topics and give it your own personal touch. I enjoy reading fashion blogs, and I believe there is always space for more fashion and style blogs because every blogger brings their own signature style to the world of fashion blogging.

Money Blogging

I love reading personal finance blogs and books. They are very informative and if you are interested in talking about money and personal finances, this is the blog topic for you. Everyone handles money in one way or the other, so if you are good at managing your personal finances, you may want to consider being money blogger. There would forever a gap in the market for amazing personal finance blogs.

Travel Blogging

Travel is another fab topic to focus your blog on. If you travel a lot, and you have the talent for writing and capturing beautiful locations, this may just be the right niche for you. I love reading travel blogs, it’s always nice to read reviews about great places to visit. Travel blogging is very lucrative. Many successful travel bloggers make a small fortune from affiliate marketing, so go for it if you have the passion for blogging and travel.

Health Blogging

Health and wellness are very important, so if you have the passion for these areas, you should look at setting up a blog. There are many ways to stay healthy, and blogging about these holistic health tips could attract many subscribers to your blog and help your readers in many ways.

Parenting blogging

Parent blogs are also very popular. Every one is different and we all parent differently in a way, but it is always interesting to read about different family dynamics. So if you are a parent and you’re thinking of setting up a blog, you may want to consider a parenting blog. People are very nosey, so there would always be space for more parent blogs.

 

From a coursework to a blog…

July 31, 2024 By in Blogging Tips, True Stories Tags: , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The world of blogging has changed massively in the last few years. It is so different from when I started blogging many years ago, but that should come as no surprise since I have changed as a person over the years. With life comes changes, and the ones who can adapt are the ones who carry on.

From a coursework to a blog…

Fashion and Style Police initially started as a coursework project. I was a student at London College of Style (LCS) in 2012 and was studying the styling course to break into the competitive personal styling industry and part of the course work was to create a fashion and style blog from scratch. I have always been interested in writing and setting up a blog was one of my goals, so naturally I was drawn to this part of the course. The course was mind-bending but enjoyable. I completed the course and stumbled briefly into the world of personal styling, but I quickly realised it was not for me, but blogging was, and I have been at it for almost 12 years now.

The many changes in the blogging world

This blog that started as an assignment quickly began a hobby/creative outlet for me, and now a side gig for me. I enjoy writing, and being able to run Fashion and Style Police all these years has been a dream come through. Having said that, the many changes happening to SEO over the years have changed the blogging experience for me. It has been off-putting, to say the least, but since the passion is still there, the show must go on. My love for blogging keeps me on this platform, against all odds, and so the blog started as coursework, then became a hobby and a creative outlet, then turned to a side gig, then a full-time job, and now back to a side gig.

I won’t change anything in the journey to becoming this version of myself and the blog. The experience has been one of many twists and turns, which all have brought me to where I am today, and I would be forever grateful.
