How to Start Your Own Link Party

How to start your own link party www.somuchbetterwithage.com

Have you ever wanted to start your own link party but didn’t know where to start? Or if you’d even have the time? Want to find out how to do it?

??PROS

??1. You get lots of traffic to your blog
2. You get to connect with a lot of great people and see blogs you didn’t know were out there
3. Freedom to make your own party choices

CONS

I would say there is only one con…
?1. Time – generally it is more time consuming but once you’re in the swing of things, it’s not that bad!
Where to begin? Consider these points.

?Will you do it on your own or have co-hosts?

?First, you have to decide if you want to start one on your own or invite others to join you. There is more freedom, of course, with doing your own party but more time involved. Perhaps you have a little known blog and would like more traffic. If you invite others to join you on this venture then you get traffic from their blog as well and your party will grow much faster. With a group comes less freedom of choice but more help with handling the tasks.

?Name & Theme of Your Party

?You might consider having a theme for your party or it could just be a general link-up where anything goes. The more general it is, the more people will participate so think about it carefully before you choose one. Also, will the party be weekly or monthly?
?Once you choose your theme, you’ll have to make a party button and a featured button so party-goers can add them to their blogs. The logo and the buttons can be made through Picmonkey or Canva. Upload a blank piece of paper by scanning it through your printer at home and the possibilities are endless!!

?Link Up Manager

?Once you’ve established these necessary things, you’ll need to sign yourself up with a host for the link party. Inlinkz and Linky Tools are the most popular. There is usually a small monthly charge for this. Decide on who has access to this account and take turns splitting the cost.

Jobs

?If you have co-hosts, decide who will do what tasks. Will you take turns doing the weekly post? Will you have a separate features post? Who will be thanking all the guests for linking up?

?Rules

?Some rules to consider adding to your party:
?- visit other links to spread the love {everyone loves comments!}
?- decide on the number of posts a party-goer can add
?- if you don’t want people adding their Etsy shops or giveaways etc., then add it as a rule
It’s good to have a few rules but you don’t want too many to distract from people coming to your party.
?Link parties are definitely fun and add a lot of traffic to your blog. Just remember you’ll need to keep that commitment you made {whether you decided a weekly or monthly party was right for you} as everyone will be depending on you to host a great party. The more consistent you are, the more party-goers you’ll have.

    Oh my goodness, this was so helpful! I’ve been meaning to do some research on this for a while, but just haven’t gotten around to it. I want to do a link party when I start growing my blog. Thanks for this!

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home. Link is in stories and in highlights.

Making your own pillow covers is easier than you t Making your own pillow covers is easier than you think! I love changing out my throw cushions on my couch and just being able to store pillow covers is far easier than the whole pillow. 💚 I can only sew straight lines so if I can sew these, you can! It’s an envelope pillow pattern so no zippers or buttons involved. Swipe to see the back of the pillow (chair photo) ➡️ Check stories for the direct blog link and I’ll save it in highlights in my profile.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
