When I started this blog a year ago, I never thought I’d have nearly 14k followers a year on!! I’ve put together this post on my one year anniversary to help new studyblrs get to grips with the basics of studyblr, begin studying more effectively and get started with sharing original content.
find nearby studyblrs with the world map
find people studying your subjects with the community list
here’s some popular studyblrs you might want to follow:
Making friends is always good so send your fav studyblrs a polite ask to introduce yourself - If a studyblr replies to you publicly, you’ll get a promo to all their followers. Don’t just bluntly ask them to check out your blog, remember to include a genuine question to make it worthwhile for them to answer you!
What are those weird apps/websites everyone uses???
Momentum - that website that shows the time over a pretty photo
Lanes - shows the time on a colourful background, and also has loads more useful functions like a to do list and a pomodoro timer!
Forest - super useful app to help you stop procrastinating
Pomotodo - a pomodoro timer with loads of other productivity tools
Khan Academy - it can teach you anything!!
Duolingo - it can teach you anything (as long as it’s a language)

How do I post original content??
reblog don’t repost!! This is an obvious one but if you’re new to tumblr altogether you need to know that it’s never ok to steal someone else’s content. Also don’t reblog from weheartit because all the stuff on that website it stolen!!
the most common posts on studyblr are photos of notes - it’s a good idea to make sure the colours in your photo are aesthetically pleasing, and that you have a good source of light. Natural light is best but lamplight will work as well. If your photos need more light, increase the exposure on your camera/phone. People don’t need to see the whole of your notes, try taking photos of them from different angles to show off the bits you’re most proud of! more tips in this post
share some motivational quotes - I use picmonkey to design quotes
make a masterpost of your favourite resources
make a study playlist on 8tracks and share it on your blog
tagging is the most useful thing ever - tag your posts with #studyblr and #studyspo so that other people in the community can find you! More tags = more ways for people to find you, so make sure to add plenty of tags to everything you upload. If you tag a studyblr in your post, it’s likely they’ll reblog it.
open your ask box - it’s a great way to get suggestions for new posts, and its always lovely to hear from other studyblrs in the community
Welcome to the studyblr community, good luck with your studies!
