Popular fashion blogs that attract the most visitors are those that update their posts frequently so always make the effort to think of new topics and stories you can churn out and keep those posts coming! No reader likes to keep reading old stuff.
One way to take the pressure off is to have a standard time/day/date where you would update your blog with new outfit inspirations/ideas. This can help to discipline you to update your blog and keep it fresh for your readers. Not only can it help you, it creates consistency for your readers so they know when to read your blog for new content and you’ll develop a loyal following. Remember, you snooze you lose. No designer takes a break because seasons wait for no man!
Also, be yourself. Let your blog be your speaker. Tweak trends anyway you like & don’t hide your true self! You can always change things up so they are YOU. Your blog should be a reflection of who you are, not what you want others to see.
