Progressive Growth And Lessons Through The Years Of Blogging

Growth and Lessons Through Blogging

If you had a chance to use writing as an outlet to share about your life and its surroundings, would you take the opportunity and move forward with it? Absolutely, why not? Blogging journey is that of exactly what came into my life less than 2 years ago, when the Coronavirus Pandemic began.

It was my outlet and my source to write through my daily struggles as a stay at home mom during the pandemic. How did the journey go? Read along with me and see the growth and lessons through the years of blogging as mom blogger.

When I jumped on this journey, I didn’t expect too much. I thought I would share my daily life as a women/mother and along with ideas and tips. But there was so much more to it than what I expected. The following are compilations of the some of key points that I found during my years of blogging.

Support From Other Bloggers

One of the biggest gains from blogging was the community of supporters you gain. There are so many bloggers out there in various niches. Building a support system and networking with other bloggers was a great way to gain not only knowledge but friendship as well.

You’re able to share your wins and struggles and find support to help one another. Praising through success and sympathizing through the failures is how the support builds.

Consider It Work

Sometimes blogging can be known as a hobby. People like to write their thoughts and create it as a journal. That’s how my blogging journey started as well. With the pandemic starting in 2020, I needed an outlet to share my daily life. Through the challenges and struggles would come uprising moments as well.

After year of blogging, its become a work more than just a hobby. I am able to monetize on a monthly basis, and helps me get out of my comfort zone. If you’re into fashion, a possible growth in fashion influencer is seen in the near future as the article shows.

Pinterest Is Your Best Friend

Prior to blogging, I never quite understood how pinterest works. Everyone would always say its so easy to just pin what you like. What seemed easy to others was a challenge I never figured out. During my year of blogging, pinterest has become one of my best platforms and best fiends. I’m on there daily, not only to share my blog but also to see what other’s have to share.

Build Your Instagram Profile

Instagram is such a huge platform for everyone, especially for bloggers. It’s such a great way to share your contents. I’ve had a business account for a few years for my online business I had prior to blogging.

Not until my blogging life set on, did I take a full effort into my Instagram page. Engaging and networking through Instagram has been an incredible journey. You build relationships with other people in your niche as well as other niches too.

It Can Be Monetized

Stepping into the blogging life, people are always told that you can make thosudans of dollars. That’s how so many people get into this gig because they see the dollar signs and not the time and effort it takes.

When I first started blogging a year ago, there were so many people that wanted me to by their “programs,” or “courses,” as they call it. They would guarantee that you can make hundreds if not thousdans of dollars a month just like they did.

But often they fail to share the time and work you have to put into it. It’s not an easy job. Its something you see through growth and lessons through the years of blogging.

You Can’t Do It Alone

Blogging journey is not just about writing only, its about knowing how to drive traffic to your blog. You need to get noticed by people for the purpose of your blog. Obviously you can pay companies to advertise for you want to drive organize traffic to your site as much as possible. The best way is through word of mouth or the use of the free platforms that are available to you.

Social Media Attributions

Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, TikTok, and more are available for you to showcase all your talents. Trying to do it alone would take way too long and might get discouraging. Take for example how this well known influencer got to where she is now.

Her journey from the challenges to the success. It takes patience and time. Things just don’t happen over night so don’t expect a miracle the next day. Take time to learn different aspects of each platform and develop your own style through them.

SEO and Keyword

This is something I regret not learning from the beginning. I’ve had some invalid information that was given to me about SEO and optimizing your posts. Finding keywords and learning what your audience is searching for is an important part of your blog.

It took over a while to get into SEO and I’m still learning as I go. There are many programs that help you find the keywords for your posts. It’s a matter of finding what works for you. Google becomes your best friend to search for what’s popular and necessary in your niche.

Utilize Google search console as well to figure out what posts are ranking on google and what posts are getting the most traffic to your site. Focus on trying to get your posts to rank so that you can get consistent traffic to your site and your audience finds your work worthy.

Value Your Work

You’ll find it hard sometimes not to compare your work to others but try to value your own work. If you put enough efforts, your work will get the value it deserves. Instead of trying to compete, find tips and ideas from other works that can help improvise on your own.

See what worked from your top competitor and see how you can turn that into something that can help you in your blogging journey.

Growth and lessons through the years of blogging is something I would take with me forever. Nothing comes easy and you have to put the work into it get anything out of it. I’m looking forward to the many more years ahead of learning and growth so that I can continue to share my journey here.
