I confess that one of the hardest parts about blogging is to find your voice as a blogger. It’s easy to look at a blog and think that someone’s fashion sense or photography make up the bulk of a blog. However, writing is actually a huge part of the formula. And when you’re not used to writing conversationally, it can be time consuming and cumbersome to start. As a blogger, not only are you writing content for your blog, but you’re also creating social media posts, newsletters, and emails constantly. I don’t really think that a blog can exist without writing, and that’s why it’s so important to find your voice as a blogger. Below, I’m sharing a few tips that helped me find mine.

Today, I’m chatting about a blogging topic that hits close to home. Although blogging sounds like an easy task, at the end of the day, it’s a full-time job. And just like any other job, it can be difficult to stay motivated all the time (especially with social media comparison so often being the thief of joy). Having the drive and desire to create fresh content daily can be rough – but it’s especially important for new bloggers because it’s key to building an engaged audience. Plus, it gives any new potential reader good reason to keep coming back. I know how disappointing it feels when you’ve been blogging consistently for a few months and you don’t see the growth you expected or a lull in engagement. So, I wanted to share some tips on how to stay motivated with your blog if you’re going through a blah period. This happens to everyone – even me after years of blogging!
