DEAR BLOGGERS, PLEASE REMEMBER

It’s easy to get swept up in the blogging world so I’ve written a little list of all the things I think are super important to remember whilst running your little part of the web. I not only wrote this for you but for me too, we all need a pick me up every now and then.
- Write content that excites YOU
- Statistics aren’t everything
- Blogging is hard work
- So it’s okay to take a break
- You can blog on a budget
- Do not follow the crowd, individuality rocks
- Be proud of your blog and the content you create
- Never ever stop learning
- Don’t compare your blog to others
- Be supportive unconditionally
- Do not underestimate the power of your voice
- So be honest
- And only monetise your talent but not your opinion
- Always challenge your creativity
- Ask questions
Is there anything you think needs adding to the list?

    I’d literally point out ‘think how what you write might affect others’ as a note to the ‘ Do not underestimate the power of your voice ” comment, as well as being honest purely because I keep reading blogs at the moment that don’t get how their words affect readers and how they have the power to change long-held, almost subconscious, ideas society has about various things (acne, size, hair colour/length….loads really), and therefore instead of using their powers for good, they let them default to reinforcing those less than ideal ‘believes’. It only takes one person to change something, honestly and really - wish more bloggers realised this!

    Good list :D

    • http://www.blogger.com/profile/12160813806700520253 Sarah morethanadored

      That’s a great point and something not everyone would think about x

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/08314370881294388529 Angela Giakas

    I love this post! I’ve been feeling really uninspired lately and blogging is definitely not as easy as it seems sometimes. You summed it up perfectly xxx
