This tag has been floating around the blogging world over the past few week and guess what? I have been tagged! The lovely Jessica at TheModMermaid tagged silly ole me to complete this tag all about blogging! So here it goes!
When did you start your blog?
January 3, 2012! So just a little over a year ago!
Have you had any past online presence before (Other blog, YouTube)?
Yes mam'. Before I started my blog I had my YouTube channel! I had been making videos on there since July of 2011!
Why did you start a blog?
Oh my goodness, I have no idea. I always would think someone would ask me this question and I would have no idea why! I don't even think that I read any blogs prior to creating one. Hm, I wish I could remember.
When did you become serious about starting a blog?
I'm not even going to lie. I think I started to get serious about my blog this year. Ever since I started my blog I have been kind of flakey when it comes to keeping up with it. But lately I have been working hard on creating interesting content for all of you!
What was your first post?
OHMYGWD. It is actually a post about Physician Formula Gel Liners.... click here. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't my best for sure...
What has been your biggest challenge about blogging?
I think my biggest challenge is having time to blog. I had issues with splitting my time between blogging and making YouTube videos. Well and of coarse having a full time job and being a student can get in the way also!
Where do you see your blog in one year?
In one year I just hope to be still blogging! And be still blogging as often as I currently am!
What is the most rewarding thing to you about blogging?
Talking to you guys in the comments and meeting new people. It is sad to admit but I feel like the majority of my friends are on the internet... and most of them I have met from blogger! The good thing is though is they are some of the best friends a girl could ask for!
What is the most discouraging thing that happens to you?
Hm, well I guess for me the most discouraging thing is followers. It is hard to wrap your mind around how hard it is to get followers on blogger. If I get 3 a week I am lucky! But on YouTube I get from 10-25 a day! But I have to make myself then realize how much smaller of a community blogger is!
What's your lasting inspiration or motivation?
HM. I have no idea. I just have a love and passion for this stuff. Well both YouTube and Blogger. My boyfriend constantly makes fun of me because of how dedicated I am to the internet world. But in many ways blogging and YouTube is my overall life motivation!
And last button not least, I tag: Monika, Megan, Gia, Katie, & Rikki.
full time job and school? how do you do it? I had trouble with just school and no job, haha.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun tag. I may do this one day! Wrapping your mind around how hard it is to get followers will never get easy for me I think. I just started and I'm working on 20 followers, and it isn't easy. On my youtube channel I hit over 1000 pretty fast, like a month or two. Ehh. It's not about the followers, gotta appreciate the followers you have!

these are great questions, i had fun reading this blogger tag! i love your "inspiration" and "rewarding" answers; i think that attitude will continue to make blogging really enjoyable for you! and my husband makes fun of me all the time, but after a few years of blogging, I think he is used to my craziness now haha
ReplyDeletei liked this tag a lot! I have been a blogger since jan of 2011 and i just recently started making videos {im the girl that was asking about your collab on youtube, btw- hi (: ) also, i realized you do blog face lifts and i am going to order something from you sooner or later.I am currently re-doing my header but i would rather you do it instead- i would really love your opinion on what you think i can do on my blog!
ReplyDeleteha! i know ima dork like you! i would rather hang out at home and tweak my blog or take photos, film videos, promote my blog {in a tasteful way of course!} etc
when it comes to blogger, its not how many followers that count, it's the views for me! I didnt realize the ratio from YT to blogger though! that is really cool! i cannot wait to get my new camera and start doing big things! its gunna be a good time ;)
