We’ve spent the last few days getting down to the knitty gritty and taking care of some of those behind the scenes tasks that help a blog look good, run smoothly and function at its best capacity.  Today we focus on the good, juicy stuff. Finding Blogging Motivation!

Today’s activities will hopefully inspire you to blog more and blog better.

Finding Blogging Motivation

Do you remember why you started blogging? Do you remember when you first learned what a blog was? It’s likely that you learned about blogging because you came across another blog.  It’s also likely that you started blogging because you read a blog that inspired you.

Identify 5 Blogs That Inspire You

Go online and spend some time looking at OTHER blogs.  Sometimes we get so busy with our own blog that we forget to look at what else is out there.  Not sure where to start?  We have some AMAZINGLY talented ladies right here at AWB and you can find them by checking out our directory of member bloggers. (Not on the directory? It’s fast and FREE to join!)

Make a List of What You Love

Now that you have found a few inspirational blogs, take a moment to list some of the things you love about them.  Do they have great photos? Do they have a cute design? What are they doing to involve their readers?

Implement at Least One Idea

We don’t want you to all be carbon copies of other bloggers and we certainly don’t encourage you to steal their content but you can use the inspiration of other blogs to motivate change in your own.  Look through the list you made and pick one new idea that you can make your own and implement into your blog.
