The Life of a Lifestyle Blogger: What I Do and How I Do It

 One question I’m asked often by people that want to start their own blogs is How do you do it? 

I’ve had to answer this question so many times that I thought it was about time to write an entire blog post about it! Whether you’re looking to start your own lifestyle blog or just curious about how someone else does it, this guide will give you some great tips and ideas on how to take the first steps toward your own successful blogging career. Enjoy!

The Life of a Lifestyle Blogger: What I Do and How I Do It

My blog

My blog posts reflect how I live my life from day to day - what I eat, where I go, what happens at home, who visits us (sometimes the pets!)

My social media strategies

I love writing lifestyle posts that cover fashion, decor, food, and more. Because my blog is an extension of me and reflects who I am as an individual- my style really comes through in everything I do.

However, one thing to keep in mind is the types of content each social media platform can show its viewers. For example, Instagram only lets you upload pictures that are up to 12 seconds long so you need to be strategic about what posts you decide to put on there.

My earnings

I work on this blog as a hobby. In addition to sharing my personal style, I like to share exclusive deals with my readers. 

I do it because the site is genuinely fun for me, but also because working at a desk all day might not be for me - blogging is both creative and social. The more people that visit my site, the more sponsors reach out to collaborate!

My journey so far

I'm Charlotte, the blogger behind _. My name says it all: I blog about my life! (Well, some parts at least.) Sometimes it's fashion, like how to dress for every occasion or figuring out what color is going to be in this season. And sometimes it's just happy things that make me smile, like finding a playlist to match my mood or rediscovering an old favorite. 

Right now I'm living in Tokyo with my husband and one-year-old son.

My future plans

My dream is to share my life with people, in hopes that they find some inspiration. My ultimate goal is to create work that impacts people in a positive way. 

It would be incredible if, through my words, people are able to look at their lives differently and make changes accordingly.

Tips for getting started

Tip #1- Come up with an idea for the blog. Just as any other type of business, your blog needs to be focused on something. For example, one lifestyle blogger writes about healthy recipes, how to save money on groceries, and how to meal plan for busy families. If you're just starting out in blogging, the ideas will come more easily than if you're already blogging. 

Tip #2- Make sure it has a catchy name.
