I’m wanting to build a web based, DIY, home improvement, home repair etc. platform that gives everyday DIYers How To instructions on almost anything for their home projects. This would include basic maintenance to major renovations.
Here is a very convenient system for creating a Mood Board, and a picture of what you want and size as desired. I believe that in order to attract a person’s attention to the text, there should be a good visual picture. And also thanks for the 8 tips that will help me write a post!

Thanks, Beth! Yes, everyone thinks it’s really easy and fun. Fun, yes. But it’s a lot of work!

It’s crazy how much time goes into making a post. I do both DIY and food posts on my site, and sometimes I miss the days of just working on something without having to stop to take pictures every few minutes. Haha! I finally learned how to use lightroom, but I still use Picmonkey for my collages, it’s so easy!
Lightroom is definitely wonderful for bulk simple editing! Honestly, we use Lightroom more than PhotoShop to edit high res blog photos. PicMonkey is our go-to for collages and quick edits and quick graphics, especially for social media!

Super interesting to read and understand and not super different than a food blog post. Thanks for sharing.

Intense! Amazing! Fantastic!
Best of the best in sharing so many informative suggestions, ideas, topics, lessons, and secrets to having a better blog, photos, and tools.
BRAVO!!!!!!!
May I add, it’s easy sometimes to just focus on the narrative with an Instagram photo and not read blog posts but here is a perfect example of what I can miss out on.
This seriously made our day! Thank you so much for your kind words. Our main goal is to get readers following us on social media to also check out the blog too! XOXO

This was fascinating to read, I admit I am
a total DIY blogger wannabe. I’ve made everything in photoshop up until now and I can see how picmonkey makes it soooo much simpler and quicker! One question, how can you tell what DIYs people are searching for on google and Pinterest—is there some kind of “trending now” plugin or something you use?
Hi Jani! We love PhotoShop too but PicMonkey is definitely way more faster and simpler. Google does have a site: https://trends.google.com/trends/?geo=U to search trends and keywords. For Pinterest, you can click in the search bar and Pinterest will recommend some “trending ideas”. There are apps also for Pinterest.

Good luck, Lance! XOXO
