When I started blogging I didn’t even realize that there were so many blogs out there. I started blogging simple as something to do and as a way to keep my husbands family up to date on things that were happening with us since his family is all out of state. There are so many things that I now know about blogging that I wish I would have known about when I started blogging years ago.
The biggest tip I could give a new blogger would be to just have fun with blogging. When I started it was more like a chore and it was really hard for me to keep it up. I do go through phases where it seems like it is a chore but when I just have fun with it and blog about things that are on my mind I find that can write posts without having a problem. Right now I feel I am stuck and I haven’t been able to finish a blog post to save my life. I know that once I get into the groove again I will have tons of posts almost ready.
When I have forgot to have fun with blogging I have gone months and months without posting. I know when I have to write blog post for products I receive or a book review I struggle with it because I really don’t enjoy having to write posts on something. I love when I write about whatever I am feeling like and I hate having to write about certain things. Now that being said I still do sponsored posts and book reviews because I love books and can use the money and products from sponsored posts.
I went off on a tangent there but in the end I would just say don’t forget to have to fun with blogging and don’t lose site of why you started blogging! What one tip would you give to someone who is starting out blogging?
I try to have fun. Since I started to write fiction and poetry and not just about my life, It has been a lot more fun. I like to have prompts to move me along,

Q. What one tip would you give to someone who is starting out blogging?
My Answer. Remember that blogging is not your job, if you do it as a hobby than it should not at any point become work because when it does it is no longer fun or actually even worth pursuing if it causes more stress than pleasure for you.

I agree, I think people get caught up into what other people are doing and lose sight of what their blog is suppose to be for themselves.
