Making Your Blog Count

I use to be embarrassed about my blog. Really I was. It looked very outdated and I could not, for the life of me, make it a priority to post. I was really frustrated by this. To make matters worse, I had over 2,000 followers of my blog who received a copy of my blog in their inbox every time I posted. But I just couldn't make it a priority. And then I figured it out.

I am a pretty busy person. But I also can get a lot of things done. And I finally realized that my blog had no specific purpose. I would post a painting, have little to say and press PUBLISH. Occasionally I would get a comment in return but it seemed like blogging was less effective. And less fun. Facebook, on the other hand, was way more fun. The minute I posted a photo I would get "likes" and comments immediately. It felt more interactive and I knew people were actually reading it.

I was just about ready to give up on my blog until I realized all I needed to do was change the focus. Make it interesting and different from what I was posting everyday on Facebook and Instagram. That's how I came up with The Everyday Life of a Working Artisy. It's a different perspective about my art and I am so happy. No more guilt for ignoring my blog. No
more duplication and boredom on my part.

If you are having the same issue all you need to do is re-focus. Be creative and think outside the box. If you make it fun and interesting for you then it will probably be the same for others.
