Blogger Help: Goals we forget about...
I’ve been reflecting lately about my blog,
if I’m entirely honest I didn’t think that it would be this difficult. I love
blogging but balancing working full time with posting three times a week is
really difficult. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder, is it worth it? Saying
that, the blogging community is brilliant when you need support and there are
so many guys and girls that will help you when you need it (yes, this includes
myself). Even though, I have moments of
doubt, I still continue to blog. I hope this little blog, will make you
understand how far you’ve come? I know realizing these three goals had been
achieved when I least expected them too,
helped me continue when I needed it the most.
1.
Comments.
It sounds so cheesy, but you really can
make a bloggers day purely by saying you enjoyed their post. Writing posts can
be a long daunting process and it can really drain you. Sometimes, a little well
done can really help bring some light into some ones day.
2.
Views every day.
Form 1 view to 2200, getting at least one
view every day is a big deal. Being possibly the easiest goal to complete but
the hardest to maintain. Constant promotion, through twitter, Instagram and
other social media plat forms can be so difficult. Interacting will fellow
blogger's has been made easier by twitter chats. Many of which open the door to
other bloggers; it’s a great way to not feel alone too.
3.
Self-worth.
Blogging has helped grow my self-worth, I
am so much more confident in not only my content but in myself outside of
blogging. Sometimes it takes something that you’re so passionate about to help
motivate you to continue to live the life you’ve always wanted. I know I'm not
there yet, but its definitely something I am working towards.
Recently I am so happy, to be moving
forward and continuing to grow on my blog and twitter(I promise to sort my
Instagram as soon as possible) . Thank you, for taking the time to read this
blog and I can wait to see what the future holds.

Aww thank you! Don't be silly! I'll talk to you! So will do many others xxx
DeleteEverything you've said is so relateable. I blog full time and have been doing it for five years. It absolutely makes my day when someone leaves me a comment on one of my blog posts. Makes me feel like I'm not wasting my time!

Oh I'd love to blog full time. Slight pipe dream of mine if I'm honest. I love your YT Channel if I'm honest!
DeleteThank you for such a lovely comment! It can feel really lonely blogging xx
I smile every time I get a comment! It really does help to keep me going. And blog views can be so difficult. I track my views weekly and I can always see a difference when I have forgot to schedule posts for a day or two

Yeah! Feel exactly the same if I'm honest. It's such a great feeling when you're able to interact with people who ready your blog x
DeleteI couldn't agree more with this. Also, comments on my posts really boost my confidence and make me want to make more posts. It really does make my day.
ReplyDeleteSteph xx
It does it's lovely xx
DeleteFantastic post, I couldn't agree more with these sometimes-forgotten but still really important things to focus on! I love getting comments, especially lovely well-thought out responses! I always try to make my comments for others show how much I've enjoyed their posts too! It's so wonderful to hear that blogging has had such a positive impact on your self esteem!

Thank you this comment has made my day xx
DeleteI love this! Such an easy read too. I agree that just spending 30 seconds out of your day to leave a nice comment on somebody's post can really make their day especially when it usually takes people so much time and effort to put together the content that they have created! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, its so difficult to create something, so a comment really does mean all the difference.
DeleteThank you for your comment Debra! Your sky dive looked amazing!

Aww what a wonderful post. Leaving and receiving comments makes a world of a difference I think, to the blogging experience! It takes a lot to find time to write up posts, take photographs, and have the courage to hit publish, as well as try to get your blog 'out there', so when you know people are enjoying your content, it's a massive motivator to continue!

It really does, every post you publish gives away a little bit more of yourself.
DeleteThank you for such a lovely comment.

I think until you are a blogger you don't realise the importance of comments, so many of my close friends read my blog but wouldn't think to actually comment themselves, but they make so much difference! I definitely agree that blogging helps with confidence too, I would never of dared to turn up to an event alone in the past, but I'm so happy blogging has helped push me out of my comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, lots of love Izzy | http://www.ADoseOfChatter.com
I know! Although I don't think many of my friends and family read my blog. They just don't get it.
DeleteThe fact that you've been to an event I the first place is amazing- let alone on your own. I'm so scared ill go and people won't like me!

Comments and views are so important to the blogger as it actually makes us feel happy someone has taken the time to read and leave a comment. Can definitely relate to this!

I definitely think that getting views/comments does make you feel good! I'm so glad that blogging is making you so happy! It's so much fun!

I really like this post. I think it's so important to acknowledge even the smallest achievements. Everyone has to start somewhere and at the end of the day you've put a lot of effort into your blog so you should pat yourself on the back when you get a comment or like. Keep up the good work.
