To blog or not to blog, thats the statement thats been circling around my mind for the last few months. I have ran this blog now for nearly 2 years. July is my 2nd blogging anniversary. It’s crazy to think how this blog helped me during the pandemic and really gave me such a great focus during that time. I look back on my blogging journey and remember all of the amazing opportunities I have had during the last 2 years. The friends I’ve met, the companies I’ve worked with and the amazing reader/follower base I have grown. I’m truly so grateful for this platform I have built.

I don’t know about you, but now life has gone back to somewhat normal, my time for blogging and writing has become less and less. And maybe I just need to stop putting so much pressure on myself, or maybe I just need to suck it up and get back into doing what I love. I don’t know, I’m trying to figure that part out still.

The time comes for all writers where you’re fresh out of ideas and you’re suffering from the dreaded writers block. It can feel isolating and really discouraging going through this as a writer, and especially if your writing is your job and income. The pressure builds and the stress heightens and before you know it you’re in a bad mood. Running out of ideas as a blogger is something I have been going through recently. I’ve been blogging now for nearly 2 years. I’ve published 310 posts (including this one) in the last 18 months. 310 fresh new ideas…my brain is tired!

There are so many factors that come into play when you are wanting to make your blog successful. And honestly, some strategies work for others and might not work for you. I get emails regularly with people wanting the secret to growing their blogs. Let me just say, there is no secret. Other than hard work and getting things done. There is no work around to success. Alot of the most successful people and bloggers in the world, got there because they worked their butts off. It’s kind of insulting when people ask what the secret is. It diminishes the hard work you have put in to make something work.

What do you enjoy most about blogging? Is it the freedom to say what you want online? Being able to share your own personal stories or work? What is it about blogging that keeps you coming back? I have always wondered what motives people have behind wanting to blog. For me, it was something to do during the height of the pandemic. I needed a focus and something to fill my time. I wasn’t going out anywhere, or seeing friends or family. So being able to connect and create a space on the internet was something I really enjoyed about starting my blog.

Whether you realise it or not, at some point you will have suffered from imposter syndrome as a blogger. It might not have been obvious at the time, but I bet when you read this post you’ll be thinking “wow, this is me.’ Impostor syndrome is something I didn’t even know about myself until a few months ago. And after some research, I came to realise its quite common in various different aspects of life.

When I first started blogging I had no idea what it was to bulk write content. I tended to just write as I went and even sometimes write my posts on the day before posting. Bulk writing was something I looked into months down the line and its the strategy and way I have been creating content for my blog for months now. As bloggers I feel like we are pressed for time alot. We have another things to do on our lists. And actually writing only equates to about 30% of what we do behind the scenes. Writing obviously plays a big part in our websites, but time is usually not on our side. I don’t have time to sit and write posts every single day, especially as I work full time around my blog.
