This week I am thrilled to have a fresh new take on blogging 101 where bloggers join the discussion and contribute their wisdom , I mean how awesome is that!!! Today we have Jezz , Kierra and Becky and we discussing how to find a balance between blogging and living a life which often can be such a difficult task , and what is the biggest misconception when it comes to blogging I decided to ask this question because we as a blogging community can relate to each other in ways others might not and its nice to sometimes address the questions or idea's fellow bloggers , readers ,our family, friends might have.
I would like to give a huge thank you to Jezz from Jezz Dallas , Kierra from Love, Kierra Makayla , Becky from Loose from the zoo you guys are such a blessing , I do hope you enjoyed this Blogging 101 post and if you are blogger who posts regularly and wants to be a part of this series don't hesitate to email me on Meghansilvablog(at)gmail(dot)com
I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the responses. I agree wholeheartedly with what everyone wrote. Blogging is definitely not easy, requires commitment, patience, time and love. It's a mix of things! I've been blogging for 3 years now and I am still learning. I do my best to reach out to other bloggers and connect. I would like to add, it's important to stay GENUINE. I find some are and some aren't. It's important to sift through those that are not.
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT POST LADIES!

It is my pleasure Pip .
DeleteI'm so happy to see Kierra's answer because that's exactly how I feel at times - trying to learn html to get your page to look the way you visiaulise. I did the same thing as her before I started, I looked at the blogs I really liked, figured out what it was that I liked about them and incorporated those impressions into my blog. Its new and its small but its mine and I like it - but its such a learning process!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to read this blogging 101 series and get real insights into these that some bloggers make look so easy, so thank you Meghan!
Martina
I did the exact same thing as both of you and I am glad we all can relate in some way or the other , its awesome !
DeleteThanks for posting this! It's really cool that you're showing people (especially non-bloggers) an insight into the world of blogging. There are so many prejudices and people often don't understand how much time, effort and dedication it takes to have a good blog. It's definitely not easy to juggle life and blogging.
ReplyDeleteIt was something I really felt needed to be addressed I deal with it so often , but I guess it is our gift to make it seem easier than it is ;)
DeleteI absolutely loved this post Meghan! Thank you for this. Honestly it is so good to hear what other bloggers are thinking. x

ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it Ari and I agree , like I say blogging is work , fun work but work !
Deletei enjoyed reading this. i go through phases where i want to stop blogging all together and others where all i want to do is work on my blog. i guess it just depends whats going on. i always come back to it in the end though :)
ReplyDeleteIsabel @ Walk of Fashion
I am very glad you keep coming back to it :)
Deleteblogging takes a lot of commitment & time. for me, living enriching life in the real world is more important. thus, i don't blog that often.

Becky your answers were amazing so... thank you for being a part of this , I really had a blast putting this post together.
DeleteGreat post and advice ladies!
ReplyDeleteI often feel a little overwhelmed with trying to run and grow my own business, keep up with friends, and hanging out with my husband and also trying to write as regularly as possible! And now that I'm doing my Yoga teacher training, I'm often feeling guilty about not studying or practicing yoga more!
Working out the balance is very much still a work in progress for me:)

I mean't every word , I'm glad to see you back sad days happen but its so important to keep pushing through. Yeah I think we all can relate to eachother and I am soooo glad you like the series.
DeleteHey girl! I'm sure this took so much time on everyone's part, but you all did such a wonderful job on this post! Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on blogging! I still struggle with finding a balance, but hopefully one day I will!
ReplyDeleteRita Rita Rita always being so sweet , everyone really was amazing and I think after reading this post its safe to say balance is something we all struggle or work with/at (does that make sense haha)
DeleteLove this post and I was nodding my head in agreement!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed it and related .
DeleteGreat post! I always love reading other bloggers' perspectives on some of the things I got through as a blogger. I really identified with yours and Jezz's time management tips and I agree that it really helps sometimes to get some posts done ahead of time! I also tend to schedule my posts on a calender too so I can visually keep track of when and what I'll be posting - that way I keep some variety in my posts. Sometimes though, I just have to accept that blogging isn't my job and that a few days off from posting won't bother anyone except me :)
ReplyDelete~Jacy
Yeah that's so true scheduling and a break is what keeps blogging fresh and easier, you do an amazing job at it , all the pics all the posts you totally are an amazing blogger .
DeleteThanks so much for sharing this! Balancing blogging and life is probably one of the hardest things for me, because if I feel that I don't blog enough, I feel guilty, or if I feel that I'm spending too much time blogging, I feel guilty that I'm not spending that time on my family or friends. Really love these posts babe ~ Have a fab day xoxo

Balance is a struggle so if there is one thing I wanted from this post is to get advice and more importantly to not feel alone , I think even the biggest bloggers would relate ,its what makes this community so close in a way.
DeleteAs a brand-new blogger, I found this article incredibly helpful, and help me decide which direction I want my blogging to go. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post. Honestly, I feel like all of these words really helped me. I know when I first started, it felt like all I wanted to do was blog. I almost wanted to forget about every aspect of my life - but of course I knew I couldn't. And this was very helpful.
ReplyDeleteLove this post! Agree with everything!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
