THE THINGS A NEW BLOGGER ABSOLUTELY NEED TO KNOW

How should I start this post? Honestly, this post is a month late because I began to pen it to celebrate three months of blogging in October. Nevertheless, here we are in November, so without delay, let’s get into my diary of a new blogger and the journey thus far. 

I did a poll on my Instagram, asking my audience what they wanted to know about this new journey I started, and four questions stood out which I would like to answer in this post. However, before I answer these provocative questions, get yourself a hot drink and come back with me as I share a page from my new diary life.

MY DIARY AS A NEW BLOGGER

Dear Diary, I would not have imagined in a million years that I would have been calling myself a NEW blogger. First, what is a blogger? Is that a career? Is blogging profitable? Because diary, I want to know before I cast my eggs into this basket. Tell me I am making the right decision about leaving my 9-5 job with benefits for a profession I do not even quite understand. It seems risky, so encourage me because I really cannot fathom why I would want this profession in my late 30’s.

I know what you’re thinking. Is this how a new blogger starts? Moreover, the answer depends on where that person is in their life. Because for me, I took this new journey to translate my experience into love and beauty after I almost lost my life. So it was at that point that God handed me back my life with a new hope to live my purpose and share the faith I experienced uniquely.

Hence the name of my blog, theuniquespott. Nevertheless, I had some dilemmas. I was scared of expressing myself in writing, letting people into my personal space and being vulnerable to strangers.

Fast-forward three months into this space and I am a new person. Blogging has encouraged me to invest in areas of my life that were lacking growth. It causes me to be more meticulous because others are expecting from me. I also found a new passion for things I would not have thought I was capable of doing. That is why I am establishing my entrepreneur’s life soon.

4 ADVISE FOR A NEW BLOGGER + WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

It is time to lift the veil and answer those burning questions you all probably came here for, lol! So let us get straight to it!

1. WHY DID I CHOOSE TO BLOG?

I felt blogging choose me. It is a form of communication with myself through a creative medium. Besides, it just seems right to use a platform I can identify with and call mine. I worked for others for so many years in building their industry that I thought it was time to develop my own industry. Blogging happens to be it.

2. HOW DO I BALANCE LIFE?

I answered this question briefly on Instagram, but for those who do not follow me there (@theuniquespott), I said there is no secret to a balanced life. My balance comes out of my PASSION. Because things happen and that commotion lists, do not always work in my favour. 

But once you are passionate, you dust off and press that forward button. And for more about how I balance my life, I wrote a post here about how I schedule like a BOSS.

3. WHAT ARE MY BIGGEST TAKE AWAY FROM BLOGGING THUS FAR? AND DO I HAVE ANY REGRETS?

My biggest take away is the investment I made in myself. Also, the community I have created with people who now look to me for inspiration. Do I have any regret? I believe that disappointments will always occur, so it’s how I let it affect me. I did not get into blogging with the expectation of quitting. Therefore, the circumstances don’t matter, I will finish this chapter and move on when my new book arrived. (lol)

4. HOW DID I LEARN ABOUT THE INDUSTRY?

I researched the heck out of the industry! I have spent late nights researching the market and reading other blogs, books on influencer marketing, social media and websites – it was a lot to soaking in the knowledge and applying it where necessary. But, also, I’m detail-oriented, and this is where my details side comes in handy. Honestly, to be better at anything, you have to read and research.
