I read a blog today on Facebook about the 7 things you shouldn’t do with your blog. The gist was if your not putting the effort in to make it a roaring success then there’s not to much point to blogging. At least that’s the impression I was left with.
Shortly after reading this post a blogger I follow posted about how she felt her blog had become boring and mundane (both incorrect).The blogger felt she had become a people pleaser.
Whatever has happened to blogging as being some type of therapy. The freedom to express our opinions whatever they may be.
I read today that the content of posts should be relevant and informative.
Mmmmm that’s the opposite to my posts.I tend to post about whatever I feel which is probably why I don’t have hundreds of followers.
I’m not a professional writer and my blog isn’t my bread and butter (that’s the hubby). I write about things that I love and find intreasting and sure sometimes I think ooooo I won’t write that it might offend. But that’s just me engaging my brain (I’ve not always been so courteous in life ask my family 🙂 )
My point is who cares if my blog is a success if one person wants to read about my life that’s good enough for me.
I mean come one what parent has the time on their hands for success as well as good parenting.
I’m just trying to survive day to day 🙂 so don’t beat yourself up about followers and stats. That stuff doesn’t matter,speaking from the heart now that’s life’s real success.
I’m the same, my blog is my diary and I look forward to looking back and remembering the little details of my life when I’m old and grey. I believe you should write for yourself and come what may. Also why I probably don’t have a huge amount of followers!!
