DON'T GIVE UP

Hello, My Beauties!

Today I want to touch on a subject that hits every one of us every so often, especially in the blogging community. Discouragement. It hits us when things don't go as planned, when we don't get visits,  comments or likes on our instagram photos. So today I want to tell you with a big loud voice, 

DON'T GIVE UP

Blogging isnt easy and anyone who claims it is, is a big poop head.

It is hard to keep up with all the trends and with blogging you need to remain relevant to just to stay in the game. You have to become a social media whore and pimp yourself out anyway you can, if not you get lost in a sea of people doing the exact same thing. 

BLOGGING DRAMA

I don't care who you are or where you're from there will always be some kind of drama, she said this, she did that. Don't let it get you down. Don't allow it to swallow you up. The truth is I feel this is a tactic used by the powers that be to test us, to weed out the weaker fish, like any competitive market, there are sharks out there. Don't be anyones bait. 

IT'S YOUR BLOG

Run it how you see fit regardless of what anyone may say. You blog for you, not for them. You like writing about fishtail braids and snails, write about it. Don't be afraid to be who you are. I have three blogs that I run TheMakeupSquid.com a beauty blog, TheRelationshipDaily a relationship blog and Interwebschic.com a blogging advice blog. I don't post to them all the time, because I have a family and a life outside of blogging. Yes I have every intention of becoming a (super hero and saving the world) Professional blogger and do this for a living, but I am not going to sacrifice my life or family for it.

PATIENCE

Time is needed to grow a blog with an active audience, now is the time for you to make as many mistakes as you can. while nobody is looking. this is the perfect time for you to decide if you like your blog name, the direction its taking, the design, the layout etc. Test a new commenting system, that type of thing. You have your own spot on the web, have at it. In time your audience will grow. Don't be a social media psycho. Tweet. instagram, pin a few things a day and move on. I have most of my social medias linked so a few tweets and I covered all my social medias in one fell swoop.

THE HARD PART IS OVER

You created the blog, so you're out there in the world, so don't stop now. Don't let them (whoever they are) win. Screw them where the sun don't shine and you keep writing and let your passions fly. You're here might as well russel a few feathers. If you have haters or peers who just don't like you. Good! that means your doing something right.
