hello friends!! so, i’ve been asked many, many times if i have tips for people wanting to start a studyblr or studyblr newbies. i had made a post similar to this one before but in this i aim to add more resources including help so you can add your own contributions to the community 💕
first things first, what is a studyblr?
okay basically a studyblr is a blog on tumblr focused mainly on studying + helping other people study. it is a community aimed at helping each other better ourselves in our academic lives! (this is an article about studyblrs)
studyblr: quite generic, which encompasses most of the blogs that i’m going to mention all in one, including many tips and study photos and all of that!
langblr: a blog focusing on languages and learning them. it’s really amazing if you want to further your knowledge of a language, as well as talk to native speakers!
appblr: a blog mainly focused on university/college applications which gives a lot of help on the latter
there are also studyblrs focused on certain subjects, for example a medblr which medical students have as well as many others (and if you don’t think there’s a ‘blr’ for your subject, start your own thing!)
anything you want and are good at!!
study music (+ on spotify too if you’d like)
personal posts about your life and academia
+ whatever you like tbh the choice is yours, go crazy
JUST DON’T REPOST OTHER PEOPLE’S POSTS!! ask to use their photo and if they let you, credit them! do not copy masterposts and stuff to make them your own, it’s rude and will probably not help you with making friends.
other than that feel free to do whatever ayyy
what about bullet journals?
definition: The Bullet Journal is a customizable and forgiving organization system. It can be your to-do list, sketchbook, notebook, and diary, but most likely, it will be all of the above. It will teach you to do more with less.
i have a whole post on all you need to know (i think) about bullet journals which could help you out
you could also try another type of journal if bullet journals don’t work for you
how do i create banners for masterposts or graphics?
help me with taking pictures!!
natural lighting is your best friend
my room lacks that a lot so i just bought a cheap desk lamp (get one if you want to, it honestly helps!)
do i need any of that expensive stationery/electronics?
if you want to get it, do it + by all means, enjoy it!
but is it a necessity? absolutely not
do not feel inferior if you do not have it
THE POINT OF STUDYBLR IS LEARNING. NOT BUYING EXPENSIVE STUFF OR SHOWING OFF!!
how do i get followers/make friends?
BE YOURSELF, you are going to be liked if you are authentic. trust me on this!
make your own contributions (as mentioned before)
create your own blog games such as blog rates, favourites pages, networks, etc!!!
use tags: many studyblrs have their own tag (for example mine is #areistotle) where people tag them and the mentioned studyblr will check the tag and reblog their post, which helps with spreading the post around, thus helping you gain more recognition!
don’t be afraid to message your favourite studyblrs or surprise them with a post about them (i get so happy when i see stuff like this in my tag, you have no idea how much you can brighten someone’s day up!)
if someone doesn’t respond, don’t hold grudges and let them be. there are so so many great people here!
also don’t get mad or take offense if someone doesn’t reply instantly (remember that many of us have exams and school and just life in general to deal with!)
be nice at all times and spread kindness. everyone deserves happiness and spreading positivity helps make the overall experience a better one!!
are there other social media platforms for studyblr?
studygram (a study instagram)
studysnap (a study snapchat)
studytube (a study youtube)
and who knows what else we’ll come up with next!

i think that’s all i wanted to say! sorry this is so long but i really wanted to give my best tips here and share all i’ve learnt with you guys. hope this helped anyone who wanted to create a studyblr + hope you all have a great day, sending you lots of love 🌈
