31 day blog post challenge

If you follow my Instagram stories you will have seen that I recently did a shout out for blog post ideas.

I have this problem where I sway between having so many ideas, so much inspiration and so much excitement to create new posts that I actually don’t create anything. I want to do it all but end up doing nothing. And then I sway the other way and have no motivation to do anything or get half way through projects and don’t finish them.

I’m finding it even harder at the minute because no one is reading about travel and it doesn’t seem right to be posting travel articles. I know we all like a bit of inspiration but it could be a long time before we’re all travelling again so I’m going to hold off for a while on the travel posts!

So I asked you guys what you’d like to read about and you came back with so many amazing suggestions. Thank you so much!

It was so interesting to see what you’d like to see featured on The Travel Hack. I found almost all suggestions were related to travel, motherhood and the business of blogging which isn’t surprising as that’s what I blog about most – but it was interesting to see a few different ones in there to do with health, food and our home.

I’ve collated them all and merged the ones that are quite similar together. I’ve dismissed a few (sorry but I don’t think I could write an entire blog post about my favourite super hero – It would be the mum from The Incredibles but I actually think most female superheros are undervalued and oversexualised but that’s a different story…) and here are the 31 blog posts I’ll be creating. I’ve decided to make it a mini challenge to create one new post per day. It’s something to stay motivated and keep creating and keep writing, even on the days when I do nothing but play hide and seek all day (which feels like my life right now).

If you’re an online creator and you’re struggling to come up with blog post ideas while you’re stuck indoors then feel free to use this list as inspiration for your own 30 day blog post challenge. I’ve adapted them at the bottom so they can be personalised for anyone.
