Secrets of Blogging

Picture was from here and was edited by me

I just saw Maya Caballero's blog, Winterthorne, and came across a tag post about her Secrets of Blogging. After reading her answers, I was motivated to do this tag also. However, the tag was originally created by Shireen from Reflection of Sanity. Thank you for the inspirations, girls :)

1. When did you start blogging and why?

I started blogging around one and a half year ago, but I never really put my time into it until November 2013. At first, I started blogging because my friend, Marshia Dechaviony, was encouraging me to do so; she knows I love to write and take pictures, so she told me to create my own blog and write my thoughts there. I decided to make one just for fun, but after a while, it became a part of me. To be honest, I didn't even know how to manage a blog until I read other blogs to find advice on how to maintain one. From there, I realized that I need to put myself out there, stop being shy, and let others be inspired of what I have written. 

2. How many people in your real life know about your blog?

I really don't know the exact number, but I'm sure my cousins, boyfriend, and some of my friends know about it because I often tweet about my blog posts on my personal Twitter and Instagram.

3. What are your favorite posts to read?

Definitely tips and tricks blog posts. Advice about literally anything will entertain me because I think that this kind of post will help me to be a better individual.

4. List a blog you recently discovered?

I just discovered Jennie May's blog, Sailboat, earlier this morning. I adore her writing skill, I can tell that she put a lot of efforts into it. She notices every details, even the littlest things that she encounters. When I read some of her posts, I almost can see, hear, and imagine things that she does; it was fascinating.

5. What post are you most proud of?

My Love and Relationship blog post. It was rather personal because I wrote that post using my very own experience as an example. I wanted to inspire and tell other girls that they're not alone. We all experienced it before, the break ups, make ups, and heart breaks, but life goes on even when your heart is crushed into pieces. 

6. What advice would you give to future bloggers?

Blog because you love it, not because of the freebies or the money or being popular. If you blog for the wrong purpose, I can guarantee you that it won't last long. Keep trying and don't give up! Look for advice from other bloggers, accept critics, and stop focusing on the number of readers or followers you have because that's not the point of blogging.

I hope you all can get to know be better by reading this post :)
I tag all of you who read it and want to do it on your blog. Be sure to leave your link in the comment section so I can take a look at your post.

LOVE,
