Dear Littler Me,
I hate to take away from my advice to you today however I need to take a moment to get a few questions answered. See, I am new to this and in order to learn one must ask questions. Just as I had questions when I was you, I have questions still now that I'm me. Today, I put them out to the other writers to try to get help in making your letters as productive as I can. Call it a 2016 version of a slam book. I hope they leave me comments below. I hope they answer any questions they want/can. Wish me luck!

umm..I write about everything though it is focused toward women I couldn't pick a niche.
ReplyDeleteNo one person gave me advice I have found help on the Internet tho..I started it because I moved to a new state and we will just say I'm in between jobs and I took some Social Media courses and saw blogging as my best option for creating an online presence. I don't currently make money from it tho I'd like to someday but for now it allows me to stay productive. I tend to see the best results from facebook. my links are
facebook.com/womanpulse
twitter.com/womanpulse.com
instagram.com/blogsshe
bloglovin.com/womanpulse I guess my views are 100-150 a day but no subscribers. I think about all the things I would wanna know and thats alot lol and thats what I write about
Thanks for the reply Heidi! That was the take that I took on it. The only thing I knew for sure about is me and my experiences. hence my blog. Thanks for the links. I've added you where I had. Still haven't figured out instagram yet.

Thank you for the comments Roberta! I bought my own domain but Im loving the ease of blogger so I'm a little nervous about making the jump. I will hopefully over the next couple of weeks. Instagram still befuddles me. I don't know how to put it to use really. Thanks for the links!
Delete1. How long have you been blogging and what type of blog do you write? I have a lifestyle blog, a single mom blog that covers dating, single motherhood, and other things. I have been blogging on and off for 5 years. However, I started this blog over a year ago and became serious about blogging at the end of last year.
ReplyDelete2. Do you own your own domain and why? Yes, I feel that people take it more seriously as a source of info and not just a hobby I picked up. I also feels it makes me more accountable because I had to spend money on it.

4. What type of marketing of your blog do you find most successful? Right now Facebook and other social media has been the best marketing.
5. Do you earn income on your blog? No, but I am hoping to create a product and sell it through my blog.
6. How frequently do you post? Twice a week but I would love to go up to three times a week.
7. How do you find motivation day by day? I keep a list of maybe topics. If I am feeling unmotivated I go through and read them. Usually it motivates me.
8. What was the most useful piece of advice someone gave you in the beginning? Write about what you love, and if it becomes too much of a stress stop doing it.
9. What are your average views on any given day? My Vies according to google analytics about 25 to 50 is about average. According to blogger between 150 to 200 I guess it is somewhere in the middle.
10. What is the link to your blog? SMWAL.Net
Take the blogging slowly at first you don't want to burn out. Good luck!
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all these questions. What a good idea keeping a list of ideas. I started that and abandoned it. I have to find it some where and hold on tight. I added/followed your profiles. Thanks!
