August 13, 2017 by Amanda Preston 4 Comments

I would like to thank Jaclyn from Mama Thrift for nominating me for the Blogger Recognition award. It is so exciting to be nominated after being in the blogging world for such a short time!

A Brief Story on How My Lovely Crazy Life Started Blogging

I originally began blogging years ago through good old blogger.com. It was mostly just tales of my life and my personal thoughts, and it was 100% a hobby. For the past few years, however, I have been interested in starting a blog but never really had the time. I can’t say I really have more time now, 8 kids later, and running a charity, but I finally decided I needed to just do it! So two weeks ago I started this brand new blog and began writing my heart out. It has not only been enjoyable having the opportunity to write, but I also love learning and research, and I have enjoyed spending the time finding out all the ins and outs of blogging!

My Lovely Crazy Life’s Advice to New Blogger

  1. Research. Research. Research. There is SO much information out there to learn about blogging. I had no idea how in depth the blogging worlds really was. Visit as many blogs as you can to gain knowledge and be sure to find out everything you can to do it right the first time.
  2. Find out everything you can about Pinterest. Regardless of what niche you are in, Pinterest will        become your new best friend.
  3. Stay true to who you are. If you are attempting to monetize your blog, be sure to stay focused on the very basic of any blog, and that is the content. It can get so easy to get wrapped up in the many different aspects of blogging, such as keeping traffic up, affiliate marking, guest posts and more. Without great content, though, people just won’t want to return.
