Blogging Tips & Tricks

In case you haven't noticed this blog has underwent a bit of a revamping. I have been away from this platform for a long time, and quite frankly I missed writing! I began blogging when I was a undergraduate student. I was heavily focused on fashion and beauty, and scouted social media daily to learn what was new in the industry. I always wanted to pursue a career in fashion, and never thought it could be possible without majoring in fashion or having connections. During college, fashion blogs were popular, and there were two types of girls: those who wrote the blogs and the girls featured on those blogs. I wanted to be one of those girls with a cool blog, that everyone visited daily.   I always blogged as a hobby and never really cared about blogging as a full-time job, or as a source of income. All bloggers do not start blogs to get rich or to be famous on social media. Sometimes, we are just great at writing and creating content worth reading. In 2017, blogs are still popular, and women are one of the biggest self-employed contributors to social media.

Tips

I want to share a few blogging tips and tricks, I learned and new experiences I will like to channel on this platform, this coming year. Finding a topic you'll like to write about is important, and helps keep your blog organized. Identifying your audience helps you understand, who you are writing for and the visitors of your blog/website. Every blogger must learn basic coding and web designing skills. It may be costly hiring a graphic design to help build your platform. Setting up a blogging schedule outlines your plans for the week or month. Once you gain a following, your readers will be looking forward to uploads from you. Staying active on social media helps you network with other bloggers, companies, and potential followers. Over the years, I learned that you do not need to be an expert or work in the field you are blogging about.
