How my blog started

So if you didn’t already know, I’m pretty new to blogging, having just started in October 2016. I did briefly write a few years ago on a different blog, but I didn’t really stick at it, and it soon fizzled out. This time, I knew I wanted to start the blog but kept putting it off. I was scared about putting myself out there, and also wanted to start with everything being perfectly in place and knowing everything about being a successful blogger. The push I finally needed was meeting the very lovely Talk Becky Talk in September 2016 who gave me lots of fab advice and has been so helpful ever since. So I’ve been rolling with it, and am totally loving it!

Advice to new bloggers

1. If you’re like me and are too scared to start writing, just go for it! You’ll find your feet along the way, discover how things work and have lots of fun. It can be a bit scary putting yourself out there, but people are so lovely and appreciate your content. Sometimes you just need to push yourself out of your comfort zone!
2. Engage with fellow bloggers – on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and of course on their own blogs. Like, share, comment, retweet…if you do that, then people are likely to do the same for you. Get talking to each other and share tips. It’s a really lovely way to make friends too!
