5 Things you Must do Before you Start a Blog

October 28, 2020 · In: Blogging

This post may contain affiliate links, which means I could make a commission (at no additional cost to you) on your purchases through my links. Read my full disclosure here.

Before you start a blog there are certain things that you need to consider. With blogging becoming more and more popular there are a lot of people jumping into the industry each day. It is important that you have a solid plan to help you stand out in this crowded space. In my latest video, I discuss 5 things you need to do before you even start your blog to set yourself up for success.

The video above breaks down what I think is important to do before starting a blog but I’ve written them out below for you as well.

Keep in mind that I used this same strategy when I finally got started. I honestly attribute the success I’ve had with my blog to make sure I did these things and had a solid plan of action in place. This will be key in ensuring you stand out in a crowded blogosphere and will be able to get the exposure opportunities you deserve.

5 Things to do Before you Start a Blog

In my opinion, these are the 5 most important things to do before you start a blog. There might be a lot of little pieces to fill into the puzzle in between these actions but overall, these are the big hitters that I think are most important to focus on.

Start with why

Before anything, you need to start with why. It’s important to understand why you’re wanting to start a blog. If you’re wanting it to be a business, have this mind frame before getting started.

A blog can be super successful if you’re in that state of mind.

Establish a niche

Did you know that millions of blogs are started every single month? Crazy, right? Don’t fall into the steps of so many others that just want to blog about anything and everything…Choose a niche and have it be something that you’re good at.

If you love to bake, start a baking blog. If you love to sew, start a sewing blog. Zoning in on something that you’re good at is key to finding success with your blog.

Hire out what you’re not good at

Guess what? Most bloggers aren’t good at everything. From having great pictures, to styling, to writing, and creating, there are things that all bloggers need help with.

For this reason, hire out what you’re not the best at. Think of it as a business move that could propel you to the next level of your business.

Use what you have

Starting a blog can be a bit stressful at times, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not worth it. Blogging is amazing choice and can result in amazing things.

When you’re just starting out on your blog, use what you have to your advantage. You’ll be amazed at how you can scale your blog by using what you have.

Do what it takes to get it done

No matter what, bloggers get it done. You can easily see that bloggers are influencers and do what it takes to get it done.

The life of a blogger is never dull but it’s a chance to start your own path and create your own future.

Are you ready to start your own blog? If so, these simple tips can help you accomplish just that.

Starting my blog has been one of the best decisions, ever. Why not make this your reality, too?

First off, forget them people! Respectfully… Bu First off, forget them people! Respectfully…

But, I get it!  Most times we lack confidence worrying about other people’s opinion on this or that, but… 

- Stop trying to prove people wrong and prove yourself right! This is about you. You overcoming your fears. You finding the audacity to be great. You pursuing YOUR best life.

- Surround yourself with people that pour into you. Having the right support system is essential. It helps you ignore the noise around you. Join an online group, meetup with positive people local to you.

- Figure out the area you lack confidence in and build yourself up in that area.

- Feel the fear and do it anyway! You gotta just push through. Keep working. Keep showing up. Keep building.

Save this post and reference it when you feel self doubt creeping in.

It’s Monday and I’m prepared to have a product It’s Monday and I’m prepared to have a productive week! 

Here are a few things I do to make sure the business and the babies are setup for success:

- Write down everything I need to get done this week on Sunday. I literally do a brain dump of all the things.

- Then I prioritize these things from most important to least! …because let’s be real I wanna do everything but there’s only so much time in the day 😂 

- Then I schedule the first 3 things in my planner for Monday. I like to see it here and put in Google calendar.

- I plan, shop, and prep all my meals for the week on Sunday too. Because who got time for “What y’all wanna eat?” everyday lol 

- Lastly I’m trying to make room for IG this week because that hasn’t been a priority. But @planoly is coming in clutch for me.

So I’m implementing the strategy: if you fail to plan, you plan to fail! And I’m planning to get it done this week!!!

Share this with an entrepreneur that could use it!

When I left corporate, it was for my kids! I was When I left corporate, it was for my kids!

I was tired of paying 2 mortgages in daycare cost, working all day and only seeing them for a few hours in the evening. Then, the hassle I’d get when I needed to take off for them!

#Workingmoms don’t get enough credit!!!! It’s a JOB in itself juggling it all…..let’s not get into the last 2 years. 🙄

My plan was to make it through their daycare days, but I done got out here an built an empire!

Don’t tell me God ain’t good!!

So, yeah. I’m gonna be right here, taking care of my babies.

Working moms, stay at home moms, work at home moms, bonus moms, expectant moms…….all y’all, I see you!
