Blog Update!

Hello! I know this probably won’t reach many people, but I felt it was necessary anyways. This is pretty much an update on the near future of the blog, and if you don’t really care much for that, feel free to not read it haha.

I’ve been doing some research about how to run my blog better and grow it more, since I haven’t been getting much growth in the past couple months. I know a lot of people who run blogs and stuff aren’t super transparent about this stuff, but I think it’s better if I am.

Anyways, I was watching this specific video on blogging tips, and she said that you need to find a niche and stick with it, at least for a while until you get a large enough following. She also mentioned that she was being consistent with posts on one topic for a while, and then started posting a variety of things and her blog stopped growing. When she went back to one specific topic, her blog started growing again.

That really stuck with me for a while and I ended up spending a whole lot of time thinking about that. Currently, my blog is definitely a mishmash of several different things. Art, college, my van, music, my life in general. It’s very all over the place, and wasn’t like this several months ago.

Several months ago, I was mainly posting about art and my van, and that was it. My blog was actually growing consistently during that time, and then it stopped. I only really realized this once I looked at how my posting changed over that time.

I decided that I need to cut down on the topics that I write about. I thought for a while about what I was passionate about, what I liked writing about, what I had a lot to talk about. I realized that I really love listening to music, and when I make my Music Tuesday posts, I really enjoy it and end up putting a lot of effort into them.

I have officially decided to veer my blog away from school, art, and my life in general for the time being and see how this new format of posting goes. I will also be making van updates when I come across them, but I’m not sure how consistent those will be. So don’t count on those haha.

Recently, I haven’t been making much art, so that was a natural decision to slow down on those posts soon. If I do make something meaningful and good, I do think I will make a post about it but I don’t think those will be consistent anymore either.

I am starting college again, tomorrow actually when this post comes out. I’m not really taking any classes that I feel motivated to write about, like I did with my Art 101 class, so I might just make general life updates here and there about how that is going.

The point is, I’m no longer going to be writing about a variety of things, and will mostly be writing about music. I will hopefully be posting three times a week though. I really hope I can keep up with this posting schedule since it is now something I am looking forward to writing.

I know that this might make me lose some followers, since I was previously making almost exclusive art posts, and now that’s really going to change. That’s okay, since this is what I’m passionate about and I wouldn’t have enough art content to write about anyways.

I am going to be making different kinds of music posts throughout every week. On Tuesdays, I will still be making Music Tuesday posts, but these will be stuff about myself, my opinions, music I like, etc. On Fridays, I will exclusively doing reviews. This includes genres of music, albums, songs, and whole bands. On Sundays, I will be writing about experiences I have at concerts and festivals, and also giving advice about venues and festivals as well.

I’m actually looking forward to starting this new chapter on my blog. I know I will have to put a lot of effort into changing the whole blog around, but I’m excited for the change. It almsot felt like my blog was stuck in one place and was no longer going anywhere.

Hopefully, I will stick with this plan until at least the end of the year, only writing about music with some very occasional van content and life updates scattered throughout. I hope it works out and is worth the effort, but that is also okay if it isn’t. I’m trying to get back into the swing of things and write posts much beforehand so I don’t feel stressed about writing them. We will see how that goes.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions of music to listen to, please leave a comment below! I love reading your comments and I try to respond to every single one. Thank you so much!
