3 Ways to Beat the Blogging Slump

3 Ways to Beat the Blogging Slump | Kayla Blogs
I’ll admit it, since the semester started I’ve not only been super busy, but I’ve also found myself in a blogging slump. I’ve thought about blogging often and I’ve even opened up a new post and started at the white space for a solid 5 minutes. But when it came to actually putting something down on the page, I was at a loss. I know that most bloggers have experienced some sort of slump which is why I wanted to share some ways to get back on your blogging game!

1. Stop caring about what your readers will think (sort of)

Obviously, you still want people to read your blog so you shouldn’t write about things that could only possibly pertain to you. But you shouldn’t be afraid to write something because you don’t think your followers will read it. You never know! Post it anyway!

2. Catch up with your favorite blogs

I spent the past hour browsing Bloglovin’ and catching up on my favorite blogs. Reading new posts and scrolling through my feed is a great way to get some inspiration and get excited to start blogging again!

3. Write what you know

Obviously, I’m going through a blogging slump so I thought, why not write about it? If you’re having issues organizing, write about how you’re dealing with that. If you’re super busy, write about how you are keeping up with your hectic schedule. If you are trying new recipes, make sure you take pictures and write about your experience! You can’t go wrong with writing about what you know and what you’re currently experiencing.

Hopefully these steps are helpful and will allow you to beat the blogger’s slump like I have! This is not an exhaustive list, if you have any other tips to help bloggers get out of a slump comment below!

    Great tips, I love reading through my Bloglovin feed… it's a good source of inspiration! I agree with tip #1… obviously you don't want to write about how you stayed in bed all day. The end. Haha, well I don't know… maybe you could make that interesting somehow 😛

    Good tips. I agree with #2 – seeing other peoples' posts always gets the creativity going! But then I always need to remember to be different too, of course.

    Exactly! It gets tricky sometimes to make sure your content is original but you can't beat the inspiration that comes from scrolling through your favorite blogs!

    Thanks for stopping by Vivian! 🙂

    I really agree with your first point, if you constantly think about just pleasing your readers you would never post anything! Great post
