I have a craft blog http://poisonedapplecraftuk.blogspot.co.uk/ But Im not sure if Im doing it right. I seem to write the same thing. Admittedly Im no Shakespeare.
What do you write about?
Do you get more views if you add tutorials?
Hi 
My blog is www.curiousseagullstudio.blogspot.co.uk although I’m soon to combine it with my website.
I talk about all sorts! The things I’m making, what I’ve been up to, places I’ve been, where I’ve got my inspiration from, plans I’ve got etc.
I get a fair few views. Tutorials do quite well but it depends on how well it’s done.
I find it helps to direct people from Google and things if your post titles have certain key words in.
I try and make my photos interesting and make sure I write properly- no slag/correct punctuation etc. I know it might sound daft- but if I was to stumble across a blog and it didn’t have correct spelling etc I wouldn’t read it- things like that annoy me and I know I’m not alone- but I will be quite conversational in my speech. After all- I’m not writing a book.
I don’t think you need to be Shakespeare- that’s not what people are looking for in a blog (unless they are!) haha they’re looking for something different, interesting, inspirational, they want someone they can relate to and interesting/fun photos to look at.
I also make sure I have sort of a house style- but I try and do this with everything I put out there- almost as a vague type of branding- so regulars start to recognise my style.
I’m certainly not saying I’ve cracked it- I would love to!! But being someone who likes to read and create, I know the sort of thing I like to come across so like you- we’ll be able to see it from both sides.
Hiya, your blog looks interesting to me. I’m a bit of a “visual” girl, so I like lots of photos in a post.
When I blog (which isn’t often -slaps hand) I try and mix things up otherwise it feels like I’m talking about the things I make all the time. Sometimes I throw in a post about family life or a Folksy Friday - a post on lovely Folksy items on a theme.
I don’t often get comments, but when I do, they are usually on posts about my chickens or about food lol.
Whenever I blog I also put a link on my facebook page and tweet about it a couple of times, as well as adding the post to the forum link on here.
