#socialbloggers 97 // Blog Topics

 

Ohhh, blog topics and blog niches are something I’ve had a lot of internal struggles with.

Stick to one niche, they say. Well, that’s what I used to think they said.

I only posted outfit photos for the longest time, which probably seems strange as now I don’t even post one a month! But it just goes to show how much we change. We grow up, we get new interests, we like to talk about different things.

I remember very clearly when I started posting about stuff other than outfits. It wasn’t easy for me and I couldn’t help feeling that it would look really odd if there was a makeup review on my blog, or a lifestyle post.

It was around December 2013 that I decide to change the direction of my blog and I’m so happy I did.

I still have moments now where I feel lost in blogging and struggle to understand what my blog is about. I want it to be a motivational place for people and for myself, which is why I’ve stopped doing as many sponsored posts and reviews as before. Though I do still do them, it’s mainly to fill my schedule.

I’m sure my blog will keep changing over the years and I’m excited to discover what’s in store for the Skinnedcartree. DUN DUN DUN.

Now tell me about you, you wonderful human.

Q1: What is your main blog niche?

@skinnedcartree Me, myself and theatre! #socialbloggers

Q2: Do you prefer to stick to one niche?

@skinnedcartree Even though I don’t like to stick to one niche on my own Blog, I do find I read more niche sites… #socialbloggers

— Hannah Delacour (@HannahDelacour4) 12 March 2016

@skinnedcartree well I like blogging about a variety of topics but beauty gets the most love #socialbloggers

— Kristina ? (@KrisEvilCupcake) 12 March 2016

@skinnedcartree A2) Nope, if I feel like posting something then I do it, whether it’s my ‘niche’ or not #socialbloggers

— Pinja? (@pinja_k) 12 March 2016

@skinnedcartree oh no! I’d get bored of it myself! Or run out of ideas #socialbloggers

@skinnedcartree every Sunday is a beauty post and during the week its either fashion or lifestyle #socialbloggers

— Chloe (@_chloehx_) 12 March 2016

@skinnedcartree I find trying to stick to a niche is really constricting. If I’m inspired by something then I write about it #socialbloggers

— JJ (@JJ_evelynemarie) 12 March 2016

@skinnedcartree No, I think it’s good to blog about different things as it keeps your readers interested #socialbloggers
