I feel like it's time for me to look back over the past few months and see if we're still on the right path with Buckets + Spades. Where do we want to be in a year's time, are we still enjoying it, how can we continue to generate income without compromising our integrity? These are the types of questions myself + Nik will be discussing this week.
We have plenty of people visiting (and hopefully enjoying) our site, but how many of them are actually interested in all the content / subjects we share? Maybe we cover too many different subjects, and therefore is the casual reader only interested in say, one out of five posts? And, are we happy with those five posts? After all, Buckets & Spades - and all things connected to it; freelance writing, styling work and consultation jobs - is my full time job, a job that's constantly taking me interesting places and giving me the chance to work with inspiring people. But at the same time it's not as stable as I'd like it to be. This month is definitely a beans on toast month...
The Nectar Collective + Cocorrina have both been inspiring us this week, I'd recommend them to any blogger!
We'd really love your input on this, your opinions are the ones that matter. What subjects do you enjoy most on Buckets & Spades, do you like the variety or would you like to see a little more structure + regularity? Excited about hearing from you! If you'd like to hear more from us you can sign up for our Newsletter here.
Thanks for reading + much love,
Mat, Nik + Hollie.
