Happy Wednesday everyone! This week I’ve been wondering what attracts you to a blog? Is it the layout that appeals to you? Is it the content, and if so, what content do you really enjoy? Do you prefer blogs to have a set update schedule or are you okay with people updating whenever? Like always I’ve been skimming through blogs though not as much as I usually do and I see some blogs with okay content with thousands of followers vs bloggers who have content I really enjoy with only a couple hundred. Is it a time spent blogging? The longer you blog the more followers you inevitably you get? I would love to know your thoughts not only to help my own blog, but so that others can read and improve their own blogs.
Have a lovely day and I look forward to hearing from you!
This is difficult to say. I think this is like making friends. The content is important but the decision to read one blog rather than another is not totally rational.
You can also follow different blogs for different reasons. For instance, I follow your blog because you ask interesting questions and because you make me discover new authors.
Regarding the number of followers, content is important but there are other factors too, such as the time you have been blogging, your presence on social media platforms, the number of blogs you are following yourself, the frequency of your posts…

I feel like there is a lot about of similarities between blogging and friendship. I always wonder how hard a blogger had to work to get that many followers or if they already just had a lot of friends who helped them spread the word. It seems like if you don’t already know people in the community that blog hopping is an excellent way to start if you’re willing to comment. Also, thank you for your kind words! Blogging content is something I struggle with. I have ideas, but relatively little time to execute them.

In all honesty, the headlines and pictures are what catch my attention the quickest !! 🌼

I’ve always thought that pictures would be very appealing and are something I struggle with. I have no design skill or knowledge at all. It’s a goal for improvement. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

You can try to use a website like canva.com for your pictures. If you don’t have much time to take your own pictures, this is a good solution.

You’re welcome!! I used to get a lot of my pictures from Pinterest but now I create my own by using Canva. It’s an app you can download on your phone and it’s free
