The Blogging Baby: Behind-the-Scenes Blogging Tips

People don’t believe that a baby can have a blog. They say I’m too little to run things. They doubt that it’s really me writing these words. I assure you that I am the blogging baby, and it is me doing the work.

Blogging takes a lot of effort. As a blogging baby, I am always working on new material. I test out new toys and gadgets for my reviews. It’s my job to taste Mommy’s cooking and approve recipes. I go on outings to new places, taking note of what I’ve seen and where I’ve been. I examine my days with great scrutiny to figure out what’s worth writing about.

Then there are the images. A picture is worth a thousand words, and I always have a photo with my post. This takes a lot of work and commitment. You wouldn’t believe the amount of time I spend posing for the camera. I always have to make sure that I have a relevant photo to go with what I want to say.

There are videos to be made. I carefully select my most helpful posts, and I turn them into handy YouTube videos. This takes planning and editing to make my videos just right. Then I upload my videos and craft titles and descriptions. Hopefully I’ll get a lot of subscribers to my YouTube channel.

Once I have an idea and the photos to go with it, I can begin putting the words together. I do some research to confirm my facts, and then I carefully type each post with great attention to detail. Then, I make sure that my words have purpose and flow. I slave away at a keyboard until I’m satisfied with the result.

No Rest for a Blogging Baby

That’s some of the work put into my posts, but it doesn’t stop there. What’s the point of blogging if you have no visitors to enjoy your work? Next comes social media management. I make sure that I share each post on my Facebook page, and I share them with my favorite groups too. It’s important to add relevant hashtags to help readers find me and mention people and brands that my post pertains to.

I work hard to grow my email mailing list. For this I create free printables to share with my readers. Subscribers get all of my new posts delivered straight to their inbox. My mailing list makes it easy to stay connected. I don’t understand why there are any people who haven’t subscribed.

Not quite finished yet. A blogging baby must give back to the blogging community. I add my posts to link-ups, and then I read and comment on other blogs. I’m meticulous when I go through every comment on my own blog and try to reciprocate or at least reply. I check my social media accounts for great content from the community.

I know what you must be thinking.

“Peachy, that’s a lot for such a little person. You must be some sort of super baby!

Well, I am a super baby, but I do have some help. Mommy edits all my posts and puts on the finishing touches. She helps me work the mouse because when I try it by myself, I always lose the thing somewhere. When I get tired, Mommy takes over for me. She is a great assistant, and I couldn’t do it without her.

There you have it. A behind-the-scenes look at the life of a blogging baby. It’s not always easy balancing naps, feedings, and writing, but with Mommy’s help, I make it work. Thank you for following along on my journey!
