Now that I have decided to try and post 2-3 times a week, I always seem to get distracted or something gets in the way (hint: phone) so I feel the need to organize a systematic blogging routine/method. As I have school for most of the day I sometimes get piled with homework resulting in no blogging time or it can be the complete opposite. Today I thought I would share with you my blogging method/routine - it goes a little like this...
INSPIRATION//
Any spare time throughout the day I find myself on Pinterest looking for inspiration from posts related to my blog. I end up spending hours just scrolling and by the end I've got a whole months worth of ideas! Every Saturday or Sunday I sit down and write the titles of upcoming posts for the weekly cycle. This is a great idea for blogging as I know what's coming up and what I have/haven't edited. The next hour is usually spent jotting down notes for what products I need to include, prices, links etc.
PHOTOGRAPHS//
I tend to take my photos in bulk for about 3-4 posts, so whenever the sun comes out I set up my picture and click away. Usually 20 pictures are taken for each post, as I like to play around with the composition, but only a small number of them are chosen.
EDIT//
Now I start to edit my stand out photos by just upping the brightness or exposure. Afterwards I upload them onto blogger and hit preview - if I don't like the way they look I will either re-edit them or decide to re-shoot. This happens on many occasions!
WRITE//
Next, I write my posts - this usually takes me an hour per post. I like to save the post as a draft and come back to it the next day with a fresh mind to correct any mistakes or just to improve on it. Sometimes I have the post already written up before any pictures or vice versa.
PROMOTION//
As soon as the post is ready to go live I make sure I share it on social media. I find it hard to tweet throughout the day so Hootsuit comes to my rescue where I schedule tweets for around three times a day with links to the post and my Bloglovin' site.
What's your blogging routine? How do you stay on track of posts?
