What is Blogmas?

Blogmas is a challenge to post daily from December 1st until Christmas. There are many different challenge lists or post idea lists available if you want to follow a specific challenge but that isn’t really the point. The point is to push you to write more. How you choose to go about Blogmas is up to you. Everyone should approach it a little differently depending on their niche and readers.

Why Should Bloggers Participate in Blogmas?

Motivation

It gives you a little extra push to stay motivated to post more. The challenge of it is part of the fun. It’s so cool how much we can accomplish when pushed out of our normal comfort zones. There are many lists of ideas and challenges to get you started if you don’t know what to write about. It’s as easy as stopping by Pinterest and doing a quick search.

Increased Content

It’s a great way to increase your content if done well. December is a busy month, especially for bloggers. It’s easy to get so busy that you forget to post or do so infrequently. You can plan ahead for Blogmas posts to be a little ahead. I like to be 2-3 days ahead if at all possible. I know that there are many bloggers that are weeks or even months ahead which is amazing but that doesn’t work for me. I work very long hours on the weekends so I always preschedule those days.

Increased Views

Depending on the content that you post, you could see increased views for years. If you use the motivation of Blogmas to create evergreen content (content that feels fresh for years into the future), you will continue to enjoy an increase in pageviews. This is helping you to grow your reach. There are readers that are looking for Blogmas posts to read too.
