You must be true to yourself. Do not try to force something that you donโ€™t believe in. Your passion will leap off the screen if you remain authentic. Itโ€™s crucial to keep your brand in mind when you publish anything on your blog or anywhere on social media.โฃ

Just like colors and fonts, images evoke certain emotions. Pictures are a great and easy way to tell the story of what you want to deliver to your readers. Remember, they need to be consistent with your tone and flow with the colors and fonts you have already decided on.โฃ
โฃ
For example, if you teach online yoga classes, you will want photos of people doing yoga. You arenโ€™t going to want pictures of people chillinโ€™ on the couch watching Hulu. If you are a work from home mommy blogger, you will want pictures of women at a laptop or home office.โฃ

Next step, you should start thinking about your logo. This is really up to you and how you want to be seen. Some logos are straightforward, just letters or a single image. However, if you donโ€™t feel comfortable, you can always hire someone to create your logo for you.โฃ
โฃ
What was I taught about logos? I was taught that simple is better. However, the logo is tied to your brand and personality, so I really think it is up to your own personal preference. I do recommend to keep the following things in mind:โฃ
โฃ
* You might want to stick to just 1 or 2 colors because too many can be overwhelming and take their eye off of what you really want them to see.โฃ
* Also, consider the mobile view, not just the laptop view. Avoid overly complex logos that could be tough to read/see on a mobile screen.โฃ

Believe it or not, your readers do click over to your about me page way more than you might think. Why? Because people connect with real, heartfelt people. If your about me page makes your readers feel like you โ€œget themโ€ because you are dealing or have dealt with the same thing they are going through, then they will keep coming back to your blog. Donโ€™t be afraid to share your story and include your failures. This will make you so much more relatable.โฃ
โฃ
Your about me page should include:โฃ
* Your storyโฃ
* Photo of youโฃ
* Your missionโฃ
* What you can do for your readersโฃ

My boys have taught me:โฃ โฃ Never give up. My b My boys have taught me:โฃ
โฃ
Never give up. My boys don't quit. They get something in their head, and they are going to accomplish it.โฃ
โฃ
There is always time to slow down. This is one that they work on "teaching" me every day. Life is so short. Take the time to slow down, pick the flower, and watch the bug crawl into its hole. I get so caught up in my "to do" list that I forget that tomorrow they will be a day older.โฃ
โฃ
Be kind. My boys are always so kind to everyone they meet, and everyone is their friend. Yes, I know I have to teach them "stranger danger," and I do, but it is refreshing sometimes to revel in their innocence.โฃ
โฃ
Be amazed. Never forget how it felt to experience something the first time. Kids are amazed by everything.โฃ
โฃ
My boys taught me that persistence and humor can get you almost anything. I've learned that silence isn't always golden. They teach me patience every single day! According to my two-year-old, when you are grouchy, jumping on the bed makes it all better. I've learned I have to watch what I say because they will repeat it, and it never fails to be at the worst moment. (Oops) I am reminded to apologize because I always make them apologize. I've learned to be silly, to be brave, and never to turn down an adventure. I've learned to take on new challenges with a smile. They have taught me to ask questions, trust, feel my emotions, and show my emotions without fear. They have taught me that some days it is ok to stay in your pajamas all day. Pop-Tarts are good any time of day. Slushies fix every pain. Clothes don't have to match. Mama kisses are better than any drug or bandaid.โฃ
โฃ
They have taught me to love more than I ever thought possible. I would not take these lessons back for a thing in the world. They are my greatest teachers.โฃ

Depending on what works best for you, deciding on your niche can be done before or after you name your blog. For me, I decided on my niche way before I landed on a blog name. Once I decided on my niche, I weeded out blog names that I might have liked but didnโ€™t fit my niche.โฃ
โฃ
Hereโ€™s some brutal truth. Blogs that are extremely niched down tend to do better than blogs that are too broad. For example, you might call yourself a food blogger, but letโ€™s be more specific. What area of food can you call yourself an expert in. Maybe dessert? Maybe you are the Princess of Pie? Or maybe you reign in French Cuisine? You want to be able to claim expert status in your niche.โฃ

Time to be creative! Have you ever noticed that specific colors bring out certain feelings? You want your colors to be in line with your brandโ€™s tone. For example, if you are a nutrition coach, you might want to gravitate to bright colors like yellow, orange, or green. Why? Because these colors remind people of healthy fruits and vegetables. Make sure that you write down the hex-codes of your color choices. This way, you will always be able to find your color, no matter what program you are using.โฃ
โฃ
Next, you should focus on finding the fonts you want for your brand. Your fonts help set the mood. Keep in mind that you need to choose a font for your heading, body, and logo. There are so many different fonts to choose from, such as Times New Roman or Dancing Script.โฃ

Picking the name of your blog isnโ€™t as easy as it sounds. It took me a while to come up with a name. Blog names really can play a role in the success of your blog. Do I think you should stress about it? No. However, I do recommend spending time thinking about it. Think about it this way, the blog name is the first thing that your readers will see, and it has a huge impact on the vibe that your blog gives off.โฃ

โฃ
*What is the topic of your blog?โฃ
*Who is your target audience?โฃ
*Do you have a writing style?โฃ
โฃ
Something you should keep in mind is not to be TOO specific because you might decide to change what you write about. For example, if you name your blog All About Pizza but decide to start writing about child psychology, it might be really confusing for your readers.โฃ

โฃ
*Look at some of your favorite books, movies, magazines, and see if anything sparks your creativity.โฃ
*Write down your blog topics. Take note of some words that have to do with your topics. Are there any that could work as or in your blog name?โฃ
*Use your own name or nickname.โฃ
*Research your niche. You want to be unique, but not so far out in left-field that it doesnโ€™t make sense, and your readers wonโ€™t find you.โฃ
*Consider abbreviations and acronyms.โฃ
*Remember, your blog name should represent you and the people you want to reach.โฃ

Once you come up with your name, make sure to check out United States Patent and Trademark Office to make sure no one has trademarked your name.โฃ

So you have decided to start a blog, or maybe you So you have decided to start a blog, or maybe you want to update your current blog; either way, have you thought about branding? Here are my branding tips for bloggers.โฃ
โฃ
I am going to get real with you a minute. When I started my blog, I didnโ€™t give much thought to branding. I just wanted to get my thoughts and writing out there. However, this meant that I have had to go back and spend A LOT of time re-branding. I am not saying there is anything wrong with that; blogs evolve, but if I can save you some time upfront, Iโ€™m game.โฃ

No pressure, but you only have a few seconds to grab the attention of your potential reader when they stumble upon your social media or website. Branding doesnโ€™t have to be difficult, but it can feel overwhelming.โฃ
โฃ
Oxford defines branding as โ€œthe promotion of a particular product or company by means of advertising and distinctive design.โ€ Branding isnโ€™t just about the sparkly things that catch your eye. Those are important too, but you also have to remember it is much more than that. Branding can answer the question, โ€œwhat do you want your readers to think about you, your writing, and your blog?โ€โฃ
โฃ
Over the next few days, I will share with you some tips on branding for bloggers. โฃ
โฃ
One big question that needs to be answered before you start branding is this: โฃ

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œ๐˜€ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜†?โฃ
It would be best if you never skipped this step. Trust me. Determine your why because your why is what will keep you going on the days you feel like giving up (and, trust me, you will have those days). When you have a passion for what you are doing, it will be evident in your writing quality. โฃ

#throwback to the day I brought my second son home #throwback to the day I brought my second son home from the hospital. My mom and dad were there to help my husband and me for the first night home so we could get a little rest. I don't think anyone ever sleeps well in the hospital. This picture was taken after I had gotten out of the shower, Sagan was asleep in his Nana's arms, and I needed some Nikola hugs. Nikola curled up next to me (only 2 and half years old at the time) on the couch and whispered how much he missed me the night before. This was the first 24 hours of him not being an only child anymore, and he just wanted his Mama. โฃ

This kid is now 7 years old, and I wish I could turn back the clock some days. It goes by so fast. This is just another reminder of why I do what I do. I want to have the financial freedom to spend more time with my kids and have more adventures before they head off into the world without me.โฃ
