The investment to get started can be minimal. But, how do you become successful?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wanted to know the same thing.

We wanted to know their juicy secrets to success about getting started, building an audience, and even making it into a business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, all of the bloggers we talked to were incredibly nice and offered some fantastic tips on how you, too, can start your own DIY blog. In this post, we\u2019ll share their top tips for how to get going and be successful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you just want to create a space to share your ideas and projects, or you secretly long to get paid for all of the awesome stuff you create for your home, the advice shared here should help you get off to the right start.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Be inspired&#8211;but don\u2019t copy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important keys to success in starting a DIY blog is originality. There are hundreds&#8211;probably thousands&#8211;of other blogs out there. What\u2019s special about your blog?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGet inspiration everywhere, but put your own spin on it,\u201d says Erica Stolman, owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/Fashionlush.com\" target=\"_blank\">Fashionlush.com<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The importance of inspiration can\u2019t be overstated, but it\u2019s also important to take the original idea that inspired you and make it your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Never post filler<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/diy-spraypainting-screenshot.png\" alt=\"diy-spraypainting-screenshot\" width=\"400\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/diy-spraypainting-screenshot.png 696w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/diy-spraypainting-screenshot-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/diy-spraypainting-screenshot-150x125.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>As they say, \u201ccontent is king\u201d on the Internet. And that\u2019s especially true for blogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have something valuable&#8211;interesting, entertaining, educational, etc&#8211;then wait until you do. This may seem harsh, but it\u2019s not about you being \u201ctoo boring\u201d to start a blog (you probably aren\u2019t), it\u2019s a matter of what you post and when you post. Don\u2019t feel compelled to share every waking moment of your life on your blog just because you think it needs updated. Instead, wait for the moments when you have something great to share&#8211;and then share it!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Don\u2019t try to do everything (at least not all at once)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many social media platforms to keep up with, and it&#8217;s impossible to do everything,\u201d says Erin Spain of <a href=\"https:\/\/DIYontheCheap.com\" target=\"_blank\">DIYontheCheap.com<\/a>. \u201cPick a couple of favorites and focus your time and energy on growing those.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s so easy to be overwhelmed with all of the things you could do to promote your blog that you may forget about the blog itself!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put: Don\u2019t bury yourself. Commit to taking on what you can handle, focus on being great at a few things, and then worry about the others later.1<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">4. Get organized<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want your blog to run smoothly, you\u2019ll need to be organized. Not only does it take discipline to keep up with the site itself, but once you start to gain traction you\u2019ll need to think about things like advertisers, partners, and cross-promotional opportunities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make use of free tools like Trello or Google Calendar to keep yourself&#8211;and your life&#8211;organized.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">5. Images mean (almost) everything<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/family-room-striped-boxes-2.jpg\" alt=\"family-room-striped-boxes-2\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/family-room-striped-boxes-2.jpg 975w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/family-room-striped-boxes-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/family-room-striped-boxes-2-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\u201cGood writing is great, but pretty pictures are killer,\u201d says Kate Riley, owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/CentsationalGirl.com\" target=\"_blank\">CentsationalGirl.com<\/a>. \u201cHaving shareable images is one of the best tools for getting your content out in the world and pretty pictures always, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">always<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> help!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erin from DIYontheCheap echoed these same sentiments. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become a photographer,\u201d she advises. \u201cBlogs are a very visual medium and eye-catching photos are key.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">6. Be yourself<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to making a name for yourself? It\u2019s being unique&#8211;in some way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to be like X or Y person. You don\u2019t have to do the same thing as everyone else. Instead, embrace what is unique about you&#8211;as a person&#8211;and find other people who appreciate the same things you appreciate. This may mean coming up with a unique approach, doing different kinds of projects, or writing and photographing in a unique way. Whatever is unique about you, never shy away from your own quirks and niche interests&#8211;make them part of what makes you different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Kate from Centsational Girl puts it: \u201cWrite about what you know, what probing questions you have about the universe, or about your fixation on (fill-in-the-blank).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">7. Push your own boundaries<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the scariest things about starting a DIY blog is the idea of not feeling like an expert. Maybe you\u2019ve done a few projects, but can you run an entire blog dedicated to DIY? Do you have the knowledge and skills to keep it going?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point of starting a DIY blog isn\u2019t necessarily to be an expert. It\u2019s to share your experiences, whether they be successful or not, with other people who are interested in their own DIY projects. Keep in mind that for every failure (yes, everyone has them), there are many lessons to be learned, which will make you smarter and better for your next project. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDon&#8217;t be afraid to try new projects and techniques, and always challenge yourself to grow and learn new skills,\u201d says Erin from DIY On The Cheap. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point isn\u2019t just to share the perfect projects, but to help educate and inform your readers, whether that means telling them exactly how to accomplish something, or it means telling them how you screwed it up so they can avoid your mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fashionlush.com\/home-decor-diy-a-pretty-lil-picture-frame\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fashionlush<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/centsationalgirl.com\/2013\/10\/spray-painting-furniture-revisited\/\" target=\"_blank\">Centsational Girl<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/diyonthecheap.com\/swap-it-like-its-hot-thrift-store-transformations\/\" target=\"_blank\">DIY on the Cheap<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever considered starting your own DIY blog?
