When I set out to create the June theme, I started

When I set out to create the June theme, I started thinking about what bloggers, specifically want to accomplish with their site and what they'd need to accomplish that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know most bloggers are trying to earn an income through sponsored posts and ads, and to do that you need a certain audience size and page views.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's talk about page views specifically. One way to increase views is to work on keeping your audience on your site longer by making relevant content easy to find.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can make relevant content easy to find by:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Showing related posts at the bottom of your individual blog posts. Most of my themes automatically have this feature built in, but I also like the Related Posts for WP plugin for this!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Linking to related content within your blog posts. If you're working on seasonal content right now, think about how you can link back to some of your Fall or Winter posts from last year in your new blog posts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Add a link to your categories to your menu or your sidebar. This will make it super easy for your readers to click through to a category they want to see more about - like chicken dinners or cool weather outfits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ Swap out your featured content. Another thing you can do is show off your seasonal content in featured areas on your site. If you're a craft blogger, maybe over the next month and a half you link to Halloween-themed crafts with kids.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which one of these things do you want to improve or implement on your site? Tell me in the comments ⬇️

I published my first blog post in February 2012. It's crazy to think back to that first version of my blog and realize that's what kicked off my journey as a blogger, designer, and business owner.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But when I published that very first blog post 8+ years ago, I can tell you with certainty that I had no clue what I REALLY wanted out of my blog. I saw some of my favorite bloggers (@rowanmade, @designlovefest, and @colleenludo) sharing their lives and what inspired them and so that's what I started doing as well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Later that year I started really thinking about what I actually wanted out of my blog, got serious about writing and designing, and here we are today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I see people talk about creating a blog, I always advise them to think about one important thing:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 Why do you want to start a blog? What do you want to get out of it? 👈🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I say this because the people I've seen grow and be the most successful started for fun. They just wanted a creative outlet, a place to document their life, somewhere they could share about and teach others about the things they loved.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You HAVE to know why you're starting (or why you started) your blog. At the very minimum it'll help you decide the type of content you want to share.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it will also help you figure out what you should do along your blogging journey to hit whatever goals you may have.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, tell me in the comments - why did you start your blog? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.s. Don't forget to check out my stories for more details about the new theme launching on October 8th!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉🏽 If you only take away one thing that you

👉🏽 If you only take away one thing that you read on Instagram today, I hope it'll be this. Here's your friendly reminder: your success is NOT defined simply by the numbers.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Four years ago I was interviewed on a podcast and one of the things we talked about was success and the definition of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've always felt like entrepreneurs are too caught up in defining their success by numbers:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
→ Followers they have on Instagram⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
→ Likes or messages their content gets⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
→ People on their email list⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
→ Clients they work with each month⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
→ Products they sell each month⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
→ Income they make each month⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here's the thing - those numbers don't matter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can have thousands of followers, get tons of engagement, work with dozens of clients, make hundreds of sales, and even make a million dollars every year and you can still end up being burnt out, unfulfilled, and straight up unhappy in your business and your life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know about you, but I define success totally differently. For me, if I'm happy with what I'm doing and it's helping support my family financially, then I'm successful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you've been feeling down about your business, especially this year when things have been tough for everyone, then I hope you'll take a second to consider what you really want in your business and life at the end of the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share how you define success in the comments ⬇️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
