I’ve been
blogging for a little while now, two years this month to be exact. In the
beginning it wasn’t something I took too seriously and didn’t intend for it to
make an impact on my life. I was just looking for a creative outlet. I had no
idea it would end up being so much more. With that said here are the 10 things I’d tell myself when I started
blogging.
1. It can be
so much more than a hobby. When I first started blogging I looked at it as a
hobby and nothing more. Now it is more than I imagined it would be.
2. Take the
time to put out something people will want to see. Care about your readers
because that is how relationships are made.
3. Things will
be off to a slow start and you may not think so but eventually the readers will
come.
4. Friends and
family may not understand what you do but that’s ok. It may not be for them to
understand.
5. Tell
everyone what you do. Promote yourself, that is what brings people to your
blog. There is nothing wrong with talking about what you do.
6. Post on a
consistent basis so readers know when to come back. Not everyone is going to
sign up for reminder emails.
7. Blogging is
going to be time consuming. It may take hours or even days to get a post just
right.
8. You’re
going to have to spend some money to get your blog just the way you want it.
Blog design, logo, domain name etc.
9. You’ll have
days you just want to stop. Don’t stop just take a short break or a vacation.
When you come back you’ll have fresh ideas and ready for anything!
10. Don’t give
up. Success doesn’t come overnight. Take the time to nurture your blog.
Don’t stop just take a short break or a vacation - is actually a really good advice. Sometimes you just need to be away for a moment to reevaluate and get new inspiration. And there's nothing wrong with that!
