To seek motivation for blogging, I follow certain criteria that help me to take every next step with more confidence and determination.

1-Check Emails StraightAway

The foremost step is to read emails. If I skip everyday blogging, I still try to read my emails and check if there’s anything important not to be missed. On weekly basis, I read my emails because it’s one of my favorite spot to read the latest stuff, promotions and best content. Before I geared up to write or research, I opened few important emails to boost up motivation and to encourage myself. I follow several personal development blogs too to get the best reads. Thankfully, these blogs have been so helpful in better productivity and personal growth.

Do you have an email list? Building an email list helps to establish an audience that loves to read you. Here is how to grow your email list.

2-Read The Best Posts By Favorite Bloggers

I have a list of favorite blogs, belonging to different niches, including freelancing, blogging and personal development. Thanks to the highly talented content writers for producing such powerful material on the sites that don’t fail to motivate readers every time. Every blog updates energetic content with an impressive Call To Action. Because of my desirous habit of reading, I learned a lot with a rise of every new day. I don’t miss the chance of swallowing more knowledge and information. It gives me the actionable motivation to write and continue my blogging journey. I hope it works for you too.

3-Keep Social Media Accounts Alive

The online world faded away when I decided to take a break. It felt me disconnected and distracted from the diaspora of the social world. I might have missed some tech news, latest blog posts, viral contents or a personal biography of a highly recognized blogger/author while I was absent on social media. But, I was determined about one thing that I’ve to reclaim those contents and best reads.

I didn’t have any personal chat with my followers too. Although, I tried to respond back to few comments.

In few hours, I became active on my business facebook accounts. I posted fresh visuals and updated status. I also shared few of my fellows content in order to let them know about my channel’s availability.

Briefly, I wanted my readers to know that EPIFE IS BACK ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Let’s interact!

4-A Quick Review Of Blog’s Performance Is A Must

How can a blogger forget to study the statistics of the website?

Early morning, I checked the site and hover over to the top viewed pages. I got some impressive and few disappointing results too. Obviously, there was a fall in the overall traffic which I didn’t like. I had to make new strategies to promote my earlier content. I had to develop a content strategy for my blog. I started looking for new blog post ideas.

After going through Google Analytics, I got the straight idea of the website’s overall performance. It helped me to understand the weak posts and the areas where my traffic is not converting.

5-Removing Clutter

At times, blogging can be boring and tedious. It also lessens your interest to invest more creativity and ideas. The best way to have a clean site is to remove the unnecessary items from the pages. I tried to update the old posts and added new factual data which is more helpful to the audiences. The next step was to work on the heavy images and excessive files. I kept the most important ones and deleted the redundant material. After cleanup, my website looked more fresh and appealing. It stimulates to give more potential into developing a solid blogging routine.

6-Send Out Emails

Since I was my back, the next step I took was to shoot an email to my followers. A constructive approach in terms of online business is to interact with the audience and let them perceive a hint of your personal side too. It eventually helps to build a connection with the readers. In this way, one can boost up conversations with the audiences. It enables them to know more about your business goals and accomplishments.

7-Show Availability To Freelance Clients And Bloggers

The most important thing I did the next day was to show my availability to the freelance clients and other blogging friends. I started reaching out to my clients about my services. I began sending proposals with fresh ideas and commitment to deliver within deadlines. I worked on sending cold emails with appropriate pitches and new ideas.

8-Set Blogging Goals

I’m among those journal lovers who prefer writing everything down in journals or notebooks. However, I also use online tools like Trello and Evernote for collecting ideas, links and best resources. Blogging goals ACTUALLY helped me to perform remarkably well for my blog. I began setting goals for next week and upcoming month.

Here’s how you can create blogging goals for a productive year!

9-Start Writing

After seeking enough motivation, I couldn’t wait to start writing blog posts. Motivation was the reason to keep ‘writing’ as the last step. All the above steps will help you retrieve the blogging habit. Following above steps, it has become easier for me to write now. I researched for latest blog post ideas. Since keyword research is an integral part of SEO content to rank well in Google, I reviewed the practice before writing.

    I once took about 3 weeks off from my blog when I was not sure which direction I wanted to go. Yes, I lost some traffic, but I was re-thinking the whole trajectory of my blog and when I came back, I knew the direction that I wanted to go and was able to keep posting regularly from that point.

    Thanks Jennifer for sharing. I think the 3-week gap from blog worked well for you. I agree with you that re-thinking helps to recreate things in a more productive manner.

    I also take breaks from blogging and after them I´m always excited to continue. Because I´m blogging just for fun, I don´t have any restraints regarding how long I can be off my blog, I leave it up to the situation.

    This post provides great motivation- I love that you included reading other blogs and emails to inspire you- sometimes the best way to learn is just to sit back and listen:)

    Yes, I think it’s a great idea to take gaps and get a relief to yourself. But, I think there should be something to keep bloggers motivated to write, share and even, promote. It’s good to know your views Kristyna.

    I think answering all my emails in one swoop definitely helps. Emails are my least favorite part of blogging, ironically enough. But, once I’m in a flow, it’s not that bad to keep shooting out replies.

  11. Arfa Nazeer says

    May 26, 2017 at 14:22

    Hi, Casey! This is great to know that answering emails work for you. Yeah, it needs significant time though but it isn’t as bad as we assume.

    Great ideas! I thought the checking your email ideas was interesting, since so many people says email distracts them and bogs them down. But I think you make a good point in this case! As long as we focus on the right emails and don’t get distracted. 😉

    Exactly! We all need something to get motivated and get back to our blogging life. I think, reading emails help 😉
