You may remember that Mummy was challenging herself to write a blog post a day for 30 days as part of the #30DBBC Blog Business Challenge. She wrote about the first week but time has gone so fast since then!
Well, just a couple of days before we flew to Menorca, she completed the challenge! Woohoo Well Done Mummy!
Mummy shared posts with our lovely readers about all sorts of things, and started a new weekly feature inspired by another blogger – Fab Five for Friday.
Many of our posts are about me – we share our weekly adventures every Saturday in our Project 365 round up – Mummy has been taking part in this for over eighteen months – when our blog first started. We also share My Weekly Photo which is a snapshot of me taken at some point the week before.
Every Tuesday, Mummy hosts #MyFavouritePost with the fabby Zena,Mummy’s blogging bestie from Zenas Suitcase All bloggers are welcome to link up any post they like.
On top of this, we share many reviews of products, experiences and holidays, host competitions and giveaways and share tips and advice on parenting a toddler and teens.
The #30DBBC has inspired Mummy so much that she has continued to write a post a day since the end of the challenge – even though we have been on holiday and plans to carry on doing so.
Here are some tips that Mummy has learned during the challenge –
1. Think about your title and keywords of each blog post. Repeat the title in the first paragraph of your post.
2. Google likes longer posts, so try and write at least 300 words in each post.
3. End each post with a ‘call to action’ such as a question.
4. Don’t get too hung up on meta tags, key words etc, if you use WordPress make sure you use SEO by Yoast to ‘do’ it for you.
5. Tag your photos with your keywords to help SEO too.
We hope you have enjoyed this post – and our blog so far. Have you set yourself any blog challenges?

I am debating doing Blogtober (30 days of blogging) but dreading how I would fit it all in x

Congratulations on making it. I’ve been really bad recently with my blog and not felt that spark as not had anything worth writing about. You might inspire me to have a go now, if I can find anything to blog about.

Well done on managing to post every day. Every month I say to myself that I am going to blog every single day and I never ever manage it as life gets in the way. I hope you have had a fantastic holiday xx

well done you! I try and fail to post every day! Great tips too thanks! Although I have Yoast and I’m not sure it does it for me – unless I haven’t figured something out yet?

Well done!! I found writing about breastfeeding each day for a week for World Breastfeeding Week was really a challenge (especially as I decided to write another post for each day too!) And thanks for sharing your great blogging tips!

These are some really helpful tips, thank you! I’ve not really set myself any blog challenges other than try to be more organised. Which I am failing at miserably!

Well done on completing the challenge, if I didn’t rite posts in bulk and then write one or two spontaneous posts I would be well and truly scuppered x

Well done for completing your challenge and glad that it was inspired by another blogger that is really lovely to hear. I always write my posts in bulk, at the weekend I normally write my posts for the week.
