5 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR BLOG IN 2015

Every new year, we all seem to get a renewed sense of passion and determination to kick start our hobbies & refresh our lifestyle to make improvements to our wellbeing. Whether that be starting a diet, looking for a new job, or more simple tweaks like home improvement, a more motivated outlook on life or planning some exciting things for the year ahead. I too seem to start the new year with a big burst of renewed motivation, and this year that was particularly channeled towards my little old blog (there’s no point me making resolutions around exercise and diet as i’ll never deliver on it), so to kick start the new year I decided to make some changes (all to be revealed soon), have a think about broadening my content & make a serious plan of things I want to achieve. The most important thing is that these things are all personal to me, and very much things I want to achieve based on my own passions and interests! As with all improvements & plans, these won’t all happen at once, but are things I plan to work on achieve throughout the next year, setting me up to be in an even stronger position as we enter 2016!

I’ve got my little improvement plan in place, but thought i’d share some thoughts & inspirations for things you guys might like to think about this year, as simple ways to improve your blog and content! They’re by no means exclusive or right, but they should give you a little inspiration for things to think about.

The first, and probably most easy thing to think about is your content, the themes you right about and the topics you generally look to discuss! These should all be things you love & feel passionate about, but if you’re keen to evolve your blog or get a little more motivation, then looking at your content themes could be a good place to start! Maybe there are other things you’re super passionate about (cooking, exercise, reading, travel) which you don’t currently talk about, but might like to introduce this year! Looking at your content & making a plan for themes and topics is a great way to give your blog a little refresh!

I for one used to write mostly about fashion, but in fact it’s my tips posts which you all seem to love the most, and because I also love to write them, this year I want to expand this area of my blog to bring you even more advice, thought pieces & tips and tricks!

There’s nothing like refreshing your design to bring a little excitement back to your blog! Whether it’s simply updating your profile picture and bio, or adding some new functionality to your blog to make things a little easier to navigate or more engaging for readers. There’s always tweaks to be made, and so why not use the excuse of a new year to start making those changes you’ve been thinking about for the last 6 months!

I for one certainly am … stay tuned :)

I like to seek inspiration from magazines, books and blogs with my photography, I’m constantly seeking to improve things so that my blog is even more enjoyable for you guys!

I’ve no doubt most of you are all over social media already, but why not take a look at your current social channels, and your social strategy (even if you don’t think about it like that, it is really) and find areas where you could improve or make tweaks to bring more enjoyable content to your readers & followers. I for one have been having a particular look at my instagram account and really want to improve this and grow it in 2015. For me this is all about sharing more and new lifestyle content on my instagram, so that you guys find different inspiring content on there, as to what you find here.

Don’t forget Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram & Twitter are all places people come to engage with you!

As always, you shouldn’t do or feel the need to be anything other than yourself and do the things that you love and feel passionate about! It’s the reason blogging is so successful and why we all love to read each others content, because it’s unique & our own personalities coming out! So whatever improvements, tweaks or changes you decide to make (if any), make sure they are you, through and through! Perhaps this point in itself is a little improvement that could be made, more of ‘you’!! 

I’d love to hear your thoughts & ideas for improving your blog this year, have you decided to make any changes or tweaks to your blog or blog content? Are there any things i’ve missed which would be great to think about?
