Blogging is a scary business to get into. Even before you begin, you’re eyeing up the competition – the ones who have already “made it”. You pour your heart and soul into your work, and tense before pressing publish every time. The blogging journey can be scary – but it can also be wonderful, enlightening, and a massive source of personal growth. Here are three tips to help you find your stride.
Find your blogging friends. Like anything else in life, blogging is better with friends. Your blogging besties will empower and inspire you. They’ll cheer you up when you’re feeling flat. Friends who understand blogisms are worth their weight in gold. Our Facebook group is a good place to start!
Go to community events. Most of my blogging friends I’ve met in real life .The vast majority I met at blogging/press events for the first time, before really going on to connect with them online. So, if there’s an event you’re eyeing up and space in your diary, show up and find friends.
Jump in with both feet. You can always edit posts to improve them later, or even delete them. You will get more of an idea of what works on your social media, for your audience, by getting on with it. If something about your blog isn’t perfect, you can change it later.
