I think most of us have a process when we’re creating blog posts. Some like to take photos first and then write the content around it, others write the post then put the photos in. Some people have drafts, ideas, a calendar others just wing it.
While different things work for different people, it’s always fun to see how others are doing it.
How is your content creation process?
Q1: Describe your blog’s content creation process – include photography, writing, errrrythaaang bbs
@Noor_Unnahar I take the photos first then edit them. Then I write the post in sections. Intro-middle-conclusion #socialbloggers

It’s always nice to read about how other bloggers’ processes work. As for me, I take the photos, edit them, write the post around it, then schedule it before publishing.

It’s a fascinating subject. I mainly blog about my life, so taking pictures is not a chore, as we would have taken them anyway (and by we I mean mostly my husband). Having a schedule is annoying sometimes, but I need the structure.
First I decide what I want to write about then I either write the post first then the photo or the other way around. I can’t just take photos without having anything in mind. I like writing and taking photos but the least thing I like is arranging all the things like scheduling and so on 🙂 x
I usually take pictures and then the idea of creating my content comes from daily life, maybe something that I saw or experience and it turned into a story for the blog. I love writing the content but absolutely hate taking pictures and editing, so lazy. LOL!
Gutted I missed this chat! I find people’s own process of blogging so interesting.
I am genuinely fascinated by how people blog, it all differs so much. I often find myself trying to blog in different ways after reading other bloggers methods. I still come back to my usual method though – think of the topic, write the post, take the pictures, begrudgingly edit them, then kill my internet trying to upload them!

I loved reading this! It’s fun to get a peek at other people’s processes 🙂
