My Journey as a Blogger 

I originally started my blog on Tumblr a couple of years ago as an outlet to share my reviews of products I received from Influenster. Eventually I began writing reviews about cosmetics, skin care, and books that I purchased. In May of this year, I felt like I was missing something by having my blog Tumblr, and I was not enjoying writing reviews anymore. Occasionally I would receive a like on my posts, but on Tumblr it was impossible for anyone to leave comments, so I felt disconnected from my followers. That is when I decided to move my blog to WordPress. Now over a month later, I love blogging again and I feel like I am part of the community here.

Advice to Bloggers

Do what you love because blogging should not feel like a chore. If it does feel like a chore, figure out why. Is it because you’re overwhelmed by trying to keep up with posting? Then reduce the amount of posts you do a week, make a plan of when you’re going to post, or write posts in advance. Is it because you don’t enjoy blogging anymore? Then try blogging about different topics. If you want to post stories you’ve written or share your opinion about a product or photos you’ve taken, then do it. Also, try to be involved in the community. Like and comment on posts you enjoy and maybe you’ll make some new friends!
