I decided to give you a few suggestions on what you can do
instead. There is a plenty of work for you besides writing posts and taking
pictues.
➳ Change the design of your
blog!
It's important to keep your design up to date. I know it
sounds silly but it’s like that. Just
like blogging is changing constanly, the same goes for design. I love to change
design from time to time and I'm always super excited about it and then I can't
wait to write new posts. It's motivating and it's good for your blog.
Update your pages. Rewrite about me section, put new
pictures in it. Make it more professional! After all of that, you are going to
be so happy and accomplished and the wave of inspiration is going to hit you.
➳ Look up for your old
posts!
You can check your grammar and update links if they are
crashed. Check if your images are in the right order, because when you set a new
design, they can go a little wild. After that you can update your pictures. My
most popular posts on the blog are about acne and those picture didn't quite
fit into my new theme, so I decided to replace them with my fashion photos and
they fit perfect. Also, I rewrite some of the posts in the terms of looking
better, gramatically and visually. I always thought that was stupid, but it is
important because it is representing you and it doesn’t matter when you wrote
it, that can be a first impression you leave to others, so make sure you leave a
good one! Don't forget to add links to new posts
➳ Update your social media
accounts.
First of all, I mean Pinterest. I love using Pinterest for
personal purposes, recently I discovered how it can affect your blog traffic, a lot! The most
important one, you can drive traffic to your old posts. So, don't hesitate to
update your Pinterest account or create one if you don't have it. Go on the
internet and read a bit more about it. Did you know about Rich pins? I know, I
didn't. You know when you click on the picture on Pinterest and there is short
description under it? That's it, you need to connect your blog and Pinterest.
In order to do that, you need to add Html code to your template and everytime
you write your post in the right corner you will have tab named 'Search
description' where you will shortly describe your post. That's an amazing thing
and I can't believe I didn't know about it! Here is
a detailed tutorial on how to do it.
Be active on Instagram. I guess we are all
Instagram addicts. It's important to stay present on social media. So, if you
don't feel like blogging, you can be active on Instagram. Instagram it's great
way to connect with your readers and bloggers. Take advantage of it!
➳ Read, read,
read! (learn, learn, learn)
When you are not writing for your blog. It's always
important to stay informed about everything that’s going on. From fashion
shows, beauty news to some tech news. I love researching and reading stuff
about blogging, design. I already wrote a big
post on this subject. So don't forget to check it out!
Now it's your turn. What are you doing when you don't feel
like blogging (writing)?
Definitely a good idea to go back over old posts and fix up any links or update the copy if it needs it. I do this a lot. Plus going on to learn new things with various courses, that is one of the best things to do!

Pinterest is definitely a social network I need to update! I actually just purchased a course for Pinterest and I need to make time to learn it fully. You have made me more excited to do it though!

These are all such great advice! I definitely need to update more on Pinterest. There's just too many social media channels to follow. Although, I've been spending more time on layout and coding. It's been really fun to do actually!

I like to check out other bloggers just to see what they're upto and to draw inspo. I should also check my old posts... That's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI definitely follow tip 4 when I feel like I have writer's block or I'm running out of ideas. updating accounts is something I also like to do from time to time :) good to refresh!

I definitely go through moments when I'm feeling less than inspired and just want to disconnect from blogging and social media! I love your tips on taking a moment away from blogging but still be proactive and productive. I've been really into upping my photography lately so on days when I don't want to write anything, I just pick up my camera and start shooting.

Love your tips! I totally do the same. Working on the layout, making new pictures.. Or just reading magazines to get more inspiration. Fun article babe.

Oh sweetie, thank you so much. Today is one of those days that I really don't feel like blogging and although I've had an account on Pinterest for years, I really never understood how it could be used to draw traffic to your blog so that will be something I'll do today. Probably not finish it all in one day, but at least get started. :) And overlooking grammar and design can always be done too so thanks for an inspiring post when I'm sitting here feeling frustrated about not exactly having writer's block per se, but just feeling tired in general.

It's so important to disconnect sometimes and just watch some good old tv or go out. I am trying to improve my blog and social so I have to sometimes push myself and just NOT check that phone and web:)))

I sometimes get uninspired to write for my blog as well and I think all the tips that you share were great! I definitely follow at least half of the tips that you listed but there are a few other things I can work on as well... which would probably be to read more fashion related material. Let us know what blogs or books you recommend for that.
