Tips for starting a studyblr, then ? Thanks!

I'm glad you asked! Here is a revival of my long ass post heheh

If you haven't already, my first tips is to make an account for your studyblr separate from any other blogs you run.

In terms of posting, I would always recommend posting anything with pictures. They don't have to be great quality or well-edited, start with anything your comfortable with; I find that posts with pics catch people attention better than simple textposts. I you feel like you want to get into editing, start playing around with some editing apps or drawing tools. Another great way to start posting is by taking on a studyblr challenge like the 100 days of productivity or the 30 days of productivity. A short introduction post is also a good idea so that other studyblrs can get an idea of your area of study, age, interests, etc.

When it comes to getting some traffic on your posts, tracking/tracked tags are a great tool to use. In case you haven't heard of them, these are certain tags that are regularly checked by their creators who will boost the posts that have used the tag. My tracking tag is #heydilli and I'll list a couple of others’ tags at the end of this post.

On a similar note, it's really helpful to follow and keep up with other studyblrs. This will help you get ideas for posts and also keep you in the loop about useful resources, new challenges, etc. Some of my fav studyblrs are listed below, along with their tracking tags if they use any:

@myhoneststudyblr (tracking #myhoneststudyblr) @ckmstudies @elysianania @elinordinary @museeofmoon (tracking #heyzainab) @notes-by-saher (tracking #heysaher) @frenchiepal @gushuwa @tranquilstudy (tracking #hiyatranquil) @acaemis @peachblossomstudy (tracking #heypeachblossom on hiatus atm) @rylie-studies (tracking #lookrylie) @rabbitstudy (tracking #heysantiago)

(sorry for the tag y'all but love you!)

So that's about all I can think about for the moment, so hope that helps. Good luck, hope that helped!

yes fantasizing about your crush is fun, yes scrolling through your phone is fun. But do you know what actual fun is ? It is getting the grades you want, it is getting the university you can't stop dreaming about, it is getting the course you put hours working on. And the only way to get them is by studying hard. No you don't have to be extreme and lost sleep, all you need is dedication and discipline. So get the fuck up and start working for it.
