Maintaining a blog is extremely difficult and takes a lot of time, hard work and effort. This is something I always say but unless you are a blogger, I don’t think other people would understand how time consuming blogging is. There are so many tasks to do whether you blog as a hobby or as a part-time/full-time job. Doing all those tasks along with your job or other responsibilities you have can be quite tiring and overwhelming at times.
I’m not going to tell you how often you should work on your blog because that completely depends on your situation. Some bloggers have time to work everyday whilst others only have time to work on a weekly or monthly basis. You should do what works the best for you. However, there are certain tasks that are extremely important when it comes to your blog and I would recommend to prioritise them when you work on your blog. Without further ado, let’s jump into the post!
Tenir un blog est extrêmement difficile et demande beaucoup de temps, de travail acharné et d’efforts. C’est quelque chose que je dis toujours, mais à moins que vous ne soyez un blogueur, je ne pense pas que d’autres personnes comprendraient à quel point les blogs prennent du temps. Il y a tellement de tâches à faire que vous bloguiez comme passe-temps ou comme travail à temps partiel / temps plein. Faire toutes ces tâches en plus de votre travail ou d’autres responsabilités que vous avez peut parfois être assez fatigant et accablant.
Je ne vais pas vous dire à quelle fréquence vous devriez travailler sur votre blog car cela dépend complètement de votre situation. Certains blogueurs ont le temps de travailler tous les jours tandis que d’autres n’ont le temps de travailler que sur une base hebdomadaire ou mensuelle. Vous devez faire ce qui fonctionne le mieux pour vous. Cependant, certaines tâches sont extrêmement importantes pour votre blog et je vous recommande de les prioriser lorsque vous travaillez sur votre blog. Sans plus tarder, passons au post!

1 | REPLY TO COMMENTS
This is something I’ve said multiple times on my blog but make sure to reply to your comments. You don’t have to reply as soon as you receive a comment and you definitely don’t need to write a long paragraph either. But always make sure to reply those who have commented under your posts, even a simple thank you for reading will do the job.
C’est quelque chose que j’ai dit plusieurs fois sur mon blog, mais assurez-vous de répondre à vos commentaires. Vous n’êtes pas obligé de répondre dès que vous recevez un commentaire et vous n’avez certainement pas besoin d’écrire un long paragraphe non plus. Mais assurez-vous toujours de répondre à ceux qui ont commenté sous vos messages, même un simple merci pour la lecture fera l’affaire.

2 | PROMOTE A BLOG POST ON A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
Promoting your blog posts regularly on your social media is definitely amazing but if you are in a position that you can’t do that, at least make sure & try to promote your blog posts on a social media platform of your choice. It can be Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest. As long as you promote at least one blog post on a regular basis on that social media platform, it will help you generate some sort of traffic towards your website.
Promouvoir régulièrement vos articles de blog sur vos médias sociaux est vraiment incroyable, mais si vous êtes dans une position où vous ne pouvez pas le faire, assurez-vous et essayez au moins de promouvoir vos articles de blog sur une plate-forme de médias sociaux de votre choix. Cela peut être Instagram, Twitter, Facebook ou Pinterest. Tant que vous faites la promotion d’au moins un article de blog régulièrement sur cette plate-forme de médias sociaux, cela vous aidera à générer une sorte de trafic vers votre site Web.

3 | WORK ON A BLOG POST
You don’t have to publish a blog post everyday but working on a blog post regularly is definitely important if you want to publish often on your blog. Whenever you have time, make sure to work on a blog post. This will allow you to finish the blog post in question a lot quicker and you can start working on your next blog post or blogging task afterwards.
Vous n’êtes pas obligé de publier un article de blog tous les jours, mais travailler régulièrement sur un article de blog est certainement important si vous souhaitez publier souvent sur votre blog. Chaque fois que vous avez le temps, assurez-vous de travailler sur un article de blog. Cela vous permettra de terminer le billet de blog en question beaucoup plus rapidement et vous pourrez commencer à travailler sur votre prochain article de blog ou tâche de blog par la suite.

4 | USE AN EDITORIAL CALENDAR
Working on your blog based on an editorial calendar can be quite overwhelming if you haven’t prepared your blog posts in advance but I would highly recommend to use or create an editorial calendar for your blog. It will give you a lot of clarity in terms of tasks, blog posts, etc.
Travailler sur votre blog basé sur un calendrier éditorial peut être assez écrasant si vous n’avez pas préparé vos articles de blog à l’avance, mais je vous recommande vivement d’utiliser ou de créer un calendrier éditorial pour votre blog. Cela vous donnera beaucoup de clarté en termes de tâches, d’articles de blog, etc.

5 | INTERACT WITH OTHERS
If you want to grow your blog or even connect with other bloggers, you need to interact on their blogs first. You can’t expect to gain a ton of followers or traffic without doing anything. Once again, this is not something you have to do on an everyday basis. Whenever you have time, make sure to read, like or comment on other blog posts. If you don’t have the time to comment, leave a like. If you don’t have the time to read, bookmark it to read it later. Even reading their blog posts will give them an extra view!
Si vous souhaitez développer votre blog ou même vous connecter avec d’autres blogueurs, vous devez d’abord interagir sur leurs blogs. Vous ne pouvez pas vous attendre à gagner une tonne d’abonnés ou de trafic sans rien faire. Encore une fois, ce n’est pas quelque chose que vous devez faire au quotidien. Chaque fois que vous avez le temps, assurez-vous de lire, d’aimer ou de commenter d’autres articles de blog. Si vous n’avez pas le temps de commenter, laissez un like. Si vous n’avez pas le temps de lire, ajoutez-le à vos favoris pour le lire plus tard. Même la lecture de leurs articles de blog leur donnera une vue supplémentaire!

6 | TAKE PICTURES
Obviously, this is something that only applies if you use your own pictures on your blog or social media but always make sure to spare time to take a bunch of pictures. It will come in handy when you need one to use as a thumbnail picture for your blog posts or for your Instagram and you don’t have any pictures to use. I have a bulk of pictures ready in case if I don’t have any pictures to post on my blog or Instagram.
Évidemment, c’est quelque chose qui ne s’applique que si vous utilisez vos propres photos sur votre blog ou sur les réseaux sociaux, mais assurez-vous toujours de prendre du temps pour prendre un tas de photos. Cela vous sera utile lorsque vous en aurez besoin pour l’utiliser comme vignette pour vos articles de blog ou pour votre Instagram et que vous n’avez aucune image à utiliser. J’ai une grande quantité de photos prêtes au cas où je n’ai pas de photos à publier sur mon blog ou Instagram.

7 | REMOVE DEAD LINKS
If you have bought your domain or have a self-hosted website, make sure to remove your dead links regularly. This is a must-have task you need to do if you want to increase your DA score! It can be time consuming as well that’s the reason why you should check and remove them frequently.
Si vous avez acheté votre domaine ou avez un site Web auto-hébergé, assurez-vous de supprimer régulièrement vos liens morts. C’est une tâche incontournable que vous devez faire si vous souhaitez augmenter votre score DA! Cela peut également prendre du temps, c’est la raison pour laquelle vous devriez les vérifier et les supprimer fréquemment.

8 | TAKE A BREAK & RELAX
Last but not least, take a break and relax! In order to work productively and more effectively on your blog, you first need to rest and recharge yourself. You can’t work productively if you don’t take breaks often. Whether you take a break every other day or every weekend is completely up to you! But make sure to take a break and do something that you enjoy!
Enfin, faites une pause et détendez-vous! Afin de travailler de manière productive et plus efficace sur votre blog, vous devez d’abord vous reposer et vous ressourcer. Vous ne pouvez pas travailler de manière productive si vous ne prenez pas souvent de pauses. Que vous fassiez une pause tous les deux jours ou tous les week-ends, cela dépend entièrement de vous! Mais assurez-vous de faire une pause et de faire quelque chose que vous aimez!

This is a great post and so true. My blog is always on my mind and I make sure to definitely interact with others
Just recently I was hacked, email, bank, Facebook and messenger! I managed to sort most of it out ..what a hassle and got my money returned. But my blog is now classed as spam on my Facebook page and Instagram so can’t post on social media anymore 😢
Thank you so much lovely! ❤️ Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that, that’s horrible! I’m glad that you got your money returned. Have Instagram or Facebook contacted you after you’ve explained to them your situation? I hope you get everything sorted very soon xx
I tried to contact them so many times but no one ever replies ..maybe I’ll put my blog up again in a week or so
I’m sorry to hear that 🙁 Keep on sending emails, they will have to reply to at least one of them. It’s such a messed up situation.
Definitely ..I keep shaking my phone at Instagram with the new shake thing 😄
Hope you get everything resolved very soon! ❤️
As always your tips are good.
Thank you so much hun! ❤️
I don’t have a social media >.< And this is a secret blog of mine 🙂
Wonderful tips!
Same with mine! Nobody in my real life knows I have a blog and I quite like it that way but I use social media, that’s the only difference ☺️
Thank you so much lovely ❤️
Ah, I have another blog which some people know >.< you are welcome!
Ahh that’s fab! ❤️
I have been binging on your blogging tips. I glad to say that you are really amazing and I am yet to set out my blogging journey. Can you please outline to me what challenges and setbacks to expect as a beginner getting into the blooging world.
Aww thank you so much love! I’m planning on writing a series for new bloggers. Funnily enough, I’m going to publish one of the posts this week and it’s about what to expect as a new blogger. I’ll definitely be writing one about challenges and setbacks as well very soon!
wonderful tips as always 😍 I actually follow all of these but I never take the time to connect with other bloggers, I think I should do that more often and also…take a break that’s indeed very important. I never do that
Thank you so much sweet! ❤️ You should definitely take a break, that’s so important 🙌🏼
Super
Thank you!
Ok
Hi there,
First, thank you so much for sharing so many great tips for improving one’s blog and blogging experience. I have already learned so much in just a few weeks of reading your blog. As such, I have been considering your suggestion of using social media to increase traffic to one’s blog. I have included some dishes I have made and plan to add some of my crafts, but, my content is usually mostly words rather than visual things. So, I was wondering which social medium would be most appropriate for my blog. I already have a Facebook page for it, and I am considering adding Instagram. I am not a fan of Twitter, and I think Pinterest is too visual. I look forward to your feedback, and thank you again for taking the time to help other bloggers.
My pleasure love! I’m so glad to hear that! Pinterest performs really well when it comes to food and in your case with dishes, it will definitely help skyrocket your traffic. Facebook is definitely great as well. Instagram can be a bit of hit & miss and if you don’t post pictures then it’s not really worth it. I would recommend to consider Pinterest and use Facebook. Instagram is a great platform as well if you post beautiful imagery. Hope that was helpful 😊
It was helpful, merci beaucoup!
I’m glad to hear that! You are welcome 😊
Loved this– and in French, too! Je l’adore! Removing dead links is something I never think about! Thanks for your insights! ❤
Thank you so much! My pleasure ❤️
This is so true and I believe this post will help new bloggers
Thank you so much! ❤️
All of your content is just amazing 🙂
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me ❤️
For dead links and other SEO practices I can seriously recommend an old friend’s Chrome extension: Checkbot. I used to use it on my own freelancing site. I’m mentioning it because it’s genuinely useful and still has 5-star reviews as I’ve just seen.
I’m definitely going to check it out! Thank you for the recommendation 😊
Thanks for the tips! As a part-time blogger, I don’t have time to work on my blog daily but these can be done regardless!
My pleasure lovely! Thank you so much for reading ❤️
Interacting with other bloggers is one of my favourite things to do! I’m so grateful for the people I’ve met in the community.
