Let’s talk about five things I’ve learned about blogging or the blogging community!
- There is no perfect schedule that will fit every blogger! Before I started blogging I was looking at tons of blogs, Pinterest schedules, etc. trying to see the schedule that most people followed. What I found was that although most people post twice a week that you have to find a schedule (or don’t have one at all) that works for your life!
- The blogging community has lots of helpful and nice people! I was so scared that I would find the “bigger” bloggers to be unhelpful when it came to my blog. However, I have found LOTS of helpful people that regardless of their follow count or success rate are very welcoming to new bloggers!
- You don’t have to only have one niche! When I first sat down to figure out my niche I was like “Man, am I going to be able to create enough content on a single niche??” And it was overwhelming! I blog about a number of things and still get views, likes, and comments so I’d say it’s a win! LOL!
- It’s a lot of work… I had NO IDEA the amount of time, effort, and pain went into having a blog. I thought I’d write stuff and people would interact. Nope. It’s definitely not that easy but I love it!
- Setting goals helps tremendously! My first couple years blogging I never set goals and always gave up because I wasn’t into it anymore. Creating goals and actively working to achieve them has helped me connect not only with other bloggers but my blog as well. I enjoy blogging now! It’s amazing what a couple goals, no matter how small, will do!
What are some things you’ve learned since beginning your journey? Share in the comments below!
Until tomorrow…

I only have one set goal so far but I’m hoping to set and achieve more next year! And I agree about going nicheless. It’s so hard to be creative sometimes if you pin yourself to one thing.

Yes! I read a lot of articles about finding your niche and going with it but I just feel like I wouldn’t have very much content if I only had one niche.

Such a great post, and I think they’re things that you don’t really expect when you first start blogging. Some great bits of advice here for beginners!

I am new to blogging, just a few months in, and I am really enjoying it. I am curious as to what some of your early goals were? Right now I have two goals: to write a post every week and to create 1 new video per week. (Plus put together my email for Constant Contact once a week.)

I think the goals you’ve got lined up are great! When I first started mine I didn’t have any goals because it began as a sort of online diary for me that I wasn’t as passionate about as I am now. Once I actually got int blogging I set small, reachable goals of how often I wanted to post and how often I wanted to sit down and spend time interacting with other blogs (commenting, liking, and following). Don’t set too many because it can become overwhelming and I always found myself falling away from my blog when that’d happen. So I’ve been setting just a couple at a time and it’s worked much better! Thanks for reading!

I am relatively new to blogging but I totally agree with all of these. Especially how much work it is. I thought it would be easy but I have realised that a whole lot of work goes into blogging & maintaining social media interaction with the community.
Also, the thing about bloggers being nice and helpful. I used to think that I won’t be able to find my place but this community is honestly so kind and welcoming that I don’t feel like I’m new at all.
Everyone is ready to help and support and that seriously means a lot.
