Hello everyone!
So now that I have been blogging for just over a month I thought I would share my experience with you. Hopefully this blog will be relatable to others or if you are think about starting a blog I might be able to give you some ideas on what it is like and offer any helpful advice to other new bloggers.
For years I have found myself looking at other blogs for reviews along with everything else, and for years I have been telling myself I really want to do that! and finally I have started!
Here is what I have learnt:
1. Blogging is a great place to meet other like minded people
The blogging community is a great community to be a part of, you meet new people and everyone is friendly and so supportive of each other.
2. Setting up your blog might feel slightly scary you might think to yourself "What is people don't like it? Who will even read it? What if I am no good at it?"
My advice to myself and any new bloggers is if you never try then you will never know, it might be hard at first when you think of judgemental people but try to block it out. If your happy then that is whats important so don't ever hold yourself back! Also if you enjoy blogging then I guarantee you will be good at it!
3. It is exciting when someone leaves positive comments
I remember my first few comments, I would refresh my page to see a comment and feel so happy that someone had actually taken time to read my post and leave some feedback! It feels great knowing you have offered advice that has helped others!
4. The double excitement when someone follows you
It feels amazing! Knowing someone likes your blog enough to want to follow you. It's not all about numbers, anything from 5-5000 followers it is just enough to know that people enjoy your blog and thats one of the reasons I like doing it.
5. Page views
Refresh, refresh, refresh! Always refreshing and when you see people from all across the world are coming across your blog its crazy and hard to believe!
6. Staying positive
I don't get disheartened if nobody comments or my page views are not high and others shouldn't either. Remember why you are created a blog! If you enjoy it then when others view, comment and follow then this is just a great bonus to creating a blog.
7. Looking forward to posting
I look forward to my next post. Some people say it can be a chore but I think if it feels like a chore then you shouldn't really be doing it. Sure sometimes it can be hard with Uni and work but when I have time to post I definitely enjoy it!
8. A small note pad becomes essential
Honestly I carry a small note pad and pen in my bag now! Because ideas come up at the most random times! Its a great idea and really helps being able to write it down and then look back later on.
Finally I just want to say a HUGE thank you for everyones support! It feels great knowing you enjoy reading and I will continue to enjoy blogging!
I hope this have helped! Can you relate to this?
