Hello everyone! I'm officially back into the flow of things. I will be commenting, replying, and planning ahead! Starting tomorrow. Okay nah, but I didn't know what to post again, but I figured it out! I haven't done a Blogging Advice post in forever so here it is. The Don't of Blogging!!
Because you can. "I can't be as popular as that blogger", well make that your biggest goal and work your hardest to get there, and you can. "I can't blog anymore, it is too hard." Blog at your own pace, blogging is supposed to be fun.
Okay, now that I look at this, it's just another blogging tips post, but that's okay, I still like it :D. I hope you enjoyed! *blogs for 1 hour, smiles, goes to Bloglovin to be even more active*
What are your blogging "don'ts"?
Mkay bye,
Noor
1. Over promoting in the comments section.
Remember in my last Blogging Advice post when I talked about commenting? And then I talked about promoting?
I promote, and many other bloggers promote, with a link. Just a nice subtle link. If you're really good, maybe another subtle hint asking someone to visit your blog like:
"Hey I did a post similar like this earlier! *gives link*" But even more subtler than that. I've seen comments that say something like this:
"Nice post. Hey, I think you missed my recent post, go check it out and leave a comment!" MY BLOG IS NOT A BILLBOARD. Go do your extravagant promoting somewhere else buddy.
2. CRAZY BIG LETTERS WITH CRAZY STUFF
How hard was it to read that, huh? Teeny tiny letters aren't that great either. Way too big or small and extremely hard to read. I don't think anyone would want to read a blog like that.
3. Think about the numbers
Who cares if you have 4 followers or 400 followers, well you shouldn't! Blog for happiness, not for fame. Sure, it's awesome to have 400 followers, but it doesn't really matter, as long as you're having fun!
4. Blogging about something just because it'll make your blog popular.
NOOR STOP WITH THIS, WE GET IT, OKAY, CHILL. I'm sorry! But I can't stress this point enough, BE YOURSELF. We all want to see the real you, because I'm sure it is better than copying someone else.
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland5. Say "I can't"
Because you can. "I can't be as popular as that blogger", well make that your biggest goal and work your hardest to get there, and you can. "I can't blog anymore, it is too hard." Blog at your own pace, blogging is supposed to be fun.
Okay, now that I look at this, it's just another blogging tips post, but that's okay, I still like it :D. I hope you enjoyed! *blogs for 1 hour, smiles, goes to Bloglovin to be even more active*

This is such a great post! I finally learned to start blogging for myself, not other people even though I love all of my followers ♥

DeleteThat last one was something I used to think for a very long time... DX
ReplyDeletexoxo Morning
Yeah, same :( Thanks for commenting Morning!
DeleteYou got way too much wisdom for a 11 year old kid :)
ReplyDeleteGreat advice :)
Lol, thanks Neal!
DeleteYou are ~so~ right! You've got great advice + a great blog, I bet you'll do some awesome things when you grow up. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Yasimone, I appreciate it, you just made my day!!
DeleteThis is true! Especially promoting it. I hate it when someone will leave a comment on a post of mine being like, "Hey! Love this! Please follow my blog and comment frequently!" And then suddenly you realize they say that in every single comment they comment. It's very annoying.
ReplyDeleteIt is very annoying! Thanks for commenting Oakstar!!
DeleteThis is such a great post! I wish I knew these things when I first started blogging :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jerneja! I'm glad you enjoyed!
DeleteGreat post! yes I hate it when people are like, "GO CHECK OUT MY LATEST BLOG POST AND COMMENT. :D" It's really annoying. DX

Thanks Meme, I'm glad you learned something!
DeleteYes! I also hate it when people in the comments are like, "I followed your blog, so please follow mine" like it's an obligation. :'( makes me feel bad if I don't follow back...
ReplyDeleteYeah, same! I try to ignore it, but then I feel bad. D:
DeleteLovely post! Can you check up blog? I think you've missed my most recent post ;) ... hahahahaha Just kidding :D
ReplyDeleteI really dislike those promotional comments, it makes me feel like if they didn't even bother to read my post and they just scrolled all the way down to write something like: "Lovely post! Check up my recent post :) ... Follow for follow?"
Also, there are some blogs that not only have different font sizes, but also different fonts and different colors, all in one post! That makes it a bit hard to read :S
