4 Tips To Help You Get Through Your Blog Rebrand

Starting a blog is one of the most exciting ventures when it comes to the online world. It’s your own little space on the internet that you can completely customize to whatever you want. As you start consistently blogging, you may find that what you were once writing about is not where your vision still lies. Maybe you have switched your niche or maybe you have changed your writing style, whatever it may be – that change is okay!

As you grow as a blogger and as a person, changes are expected. The important thing is that you roll with those changes. If you keep trying to turn out content that you are not excited about, your readers are going to start taking notice. Stay true to your passions and keep writing about what you love! Your love will show through in your writing and your readers will keep coming back for more. If you find that your blog has changed, it may be time for a rebrand. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help if you are thinking about rebranding your blog.

 

1) Listen to your instinct

It’s time to ask yourself, is this rebrand necessary? Rebrands can be time-consuming not to mention expensive. If it comes to the point where you don’t think your current blog brand is lining up with your vision, it may be time to change your brand. Are your readers confused at what your blog is actually about? Are you missing out on opportunities because of your current branding? If you think that your branding is hurting you more than it is helping, it’s definitely time to consider a rebrand.

 

2) Do your research

One thing I always recommend is researching a little before jumping into the rebrand head on. Are you looking to completely change your blog name? Make sure that name is available! Don’t forget to check social media networks too. You want to make sure that you have the same name on all platforms. Research everything! Think about the different colors that you like and what you want your blog to feel like when you first get to your website. Having a good sense of what you want before you start the rebranding process will make it a whole lot easier.

Another thing I always recommend is to do your research when it comes to hiring a designer. If you are thinking about a rebrand, are you going to hire someone to help you or tackle this yourself as a DIY project? If you are thinking about hiring a designer, ask around to your friends to see if they know of anyone that they used and loved. Different designers offer different things so finding the right designer for you and your budget will help you in the long run. Sometimes, hiring a designer will even help you when you come by any tough development issues.

 

3) Update your content

Once your rebrand is finalized, don’t forget to update all of your social media platforms! Sometimes, bloggers will forget to update their Twitter account or another platform and it can confuse future readers. Confusion may lead them to unfollow if they think your blog is no longer. Be sure that you not only update your logo and blog name (if you changed it!) but your about me and descriptions as well. If you have changed your niche it’s important to keep those current readers updated with what is going on. Also, it can confuse readers if they see something different than what is on your website.

 

4) Share your new brand!

Share, share, share! Once your new blog is completely live, be sure to tell your readers about it! You may want to even create a blog post about your rebrand if you have made some major changes, just to give your current readers a look into what has changed and what they can expect from you in the future. If you are excited about your new blog direction, your readers will be too! Make your posts shareable so that they can tell their friends about it too. Don’t be afraid to share it on all of your platforms, some readers may come to your blog from Instagram and may miss your post on another platform.

⁠
I expected my business to be way bigger after running it for two years. It's not. And that's okay. (I do have to remind myself that on a daily basis, trust me it's hard, ha!)⁠
⁠
It takes so much time and work to grow a business or a blog. Some people can make their blogs profitable in under a year. I haven't found that to be the majority of people.⁠
⁠
I've learned from experience that it takes something around two years to get any kind of traction, and another two to hit the really awesome goals you had for yourself.⁠
⁠
Unfortunately, running your own business isn't easy! It takes a lot of blind faith that you can figure it all out.⁠
⁠
So I'm with you if you feel like you're constantly jumping over cliffs, not really sure what's on the other side. You're not alone.⁠

    At the beginning of your blogging journey, I don't At the beginning of your blogging journey, I don't recommend limiting yourself.⁠
⁠
Some people will recommend you pick a niche right away and stick with it, but I believe a little experimentation is always good when you get started.⁠
⁠
Since you don't have it all figured out anyway, why pretend you do? Now it the best time to make mistakes, while not too many people are looking.⁠
⁠
So try posts that don't fit your niche! What kind of feedback are you getting?⁠
⁠
Do what you love, even if it means it's a bit out of the box. People will be attracted to that way more than if you do the same thing as everyone else.⁠
⁠
Passion is noticeable. Trust me!⁠

    If you're new to this blogging journey, I want to If you're new to this blogging journey, I want to remind you of something this morning: you don't need to have it all figured out to get started.⁠
⁠
It's fine if you don't know what your niche is. It's fine if your theme is not perfect. It's fine if your blog posts aren't optimized.⁠
⁠
You can always fix those things down the line.⁠
⁠
Just get started and write a post! You won't get where you want to be by trying to be perfect. You'll get there by taking imperfect action.⁠
⁠
And believe me, I don't have it all figured out either. (Want to know a secret? Nobody does! 😉 )⁠
