Beginner Blogging Tips
Hey guys, hope all is well and okay.
Guys I finally managed to find a laptop however it currently on back order
and I'm like nooooo I need to start YouTubing, my current laptop the one pictured
is lit hanging on a thread.
The guy that assisted me promised that I should get it hopefully next week Wednesday
so I can only hope. In the mean while I will just pray that the
current laptop hangs in tight.
Oooh another situation, my selfies on my current camera phone are not coming out soo great,
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I will just play around with it.
Guys, sorry to bore you however it is important I keep you updated

working on bring you great content.

Manicure Monday | Things You Don't Have To Change About Your Blog
Soweto, South Africa
Hey guys, I was really contemplating on doing a blog post like this then again I'm a blogger and a bit entitled to share a bit of opinion here and there. These thoughts of mine brought me to the topic three things that you don't have to change about your blog and how you blog.
You need to be on every social media platform...
I don't think so, work with social media platforms that work for you. I'm not really a talkative person in life so snapchat is really not for me, so I decided to stop snapping. Beyonce is only active on Instagram, so I say find a social media platform that will enable you to be able to share your content with your audience in a way that will connect with them.
You don't need to update your template every 3 months...
I have seen blogs with really beautiful content and with crappy templates and the other way round, what really matters with blogging is the content that you put out, worry about your blog layout and other things once you have found your true voice as a blogger.
You don't need to follow the crowd...
Finding your own voice as a blogger is a very challenging thing cause there are so many of us out there and those that are at the top are doing a really great job. So whenever I start derailing I like to think about the reason why began the blog and work my way up from there.
Well that's it hey... hope you enjoyed the post.
See you soon blogger...

Balancing Blogging Full Time & Working Full Time
My title makes me cringe cause really is there ever a balance in anything work/life related,
let us take a look at this.
A lot of South African Beauty Bloggers I know and follow on social media either have full time jobs, are full time students or just doing it all working full time, working on their studies full time, running a family and that very little free time we get we blog (or atleast try),
a very tiny percentage of bloggers I know in South Africa make a living from beauty blogging comfortably (the work comfortably is key here).
I'm just here just stating the facts....!!!
I know tons of bloggers who have very immeculate work but are not blogging full time and I know tons of bloggers that are blogging "full time"and are producing shitty work.
Enklek where is this article going....hold up.... !!!
So balancing blogging full time and working full time, I would say it is pretty hard
as you need to feed this social media giant and at the same time feed your family, because let us be honest blogging and leaving comfortably only on blogging is a dream that most of us will only see in the next upcoming generations...
HOLD UP...did I just say that I'm old or your old... nope you are never to old or to young to pursue
your goals/dreams.
But where is this article going????? huh!!!!
Nowhere really I just thought that I should come here and speak crap really.
Balancing full time blogging and full time working or studying really does not exist, all I can say is you just need to work hard on all aspects of your life
and you will see equal if not more growth and success in all.
Did I confuse you, cause I'm confused LOL.
Have a great week.

If you have been following my blog you would also know that I like to keep things short and simple, so without wasting any of your time, lets get to it.
Love to blog:
I say love to blog because there will be times when you don't feel like writing anything, but when you love something you will make sure that you nurture it and make it grow.
In simple terms have passion, so that you create posts for your blog also patience to wait and watch it grow.
How are you going to do this:
Simple by making a schedule on how much content you would like out there some people blog daily, others every other day, what ever it is choose it, stick to it and make it work.
Get your content out there:
How? through social media obviously, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and even sending family and friends whatsapps every now and then just for them to see your work.
Have fun!!!
