First I have to say this blog started as a way to communicate with friends, so I wasn´t thinking about having any other audience or followers. From that perspective I did not give much thoughts about the whole thing and just started. If I had to start again at this point this would be my 10 advices though:
1 - Yes, it is strange to publish your thoughts. Even if you´re already blogging for a long time you will find yourself thinking about what to publish and what to keep private. Sometimes it is good to have the courage to post something serious or sad, because even blogging-world is not a happy place all day long. Find the right mixture!
2 - Don´t worry if anyone is ever going to read what you wrote. It is enough if you like what you wrote. A part of your blog will always be a scrapbook of your life you just write for yourself.
3 - No matter which topic to blog about - be respectful! Even writing not about a person but about a certain topic might hurt someone else´s feelings.
4 - Even if you´re writing this for friends and family - take a look at other blogs, get inspired!
5 - It is strange to see your own pictures online, but you don´t have to hide yourself. There might be more beautiful girls, skinnier girls, more perfect girls - it doesn´t matter. It is your blog, so you matter.
6 - Get connected till Bloglovin, pinterest, instagram and twitter are your best friends :)
7 - Join linkups! They are a great way to learn and improve writing by a given topic. Although it´s fun to see all the different posts that started all at the some point.
8 - Sometimes writing a blog post will be difficult. Maybe you´re too stressed out, maybe you´re just not in the mood - hang in there!
9 - Play with different layouts, colours and designs. A blog is your creative outlet in many ways.
10 -Be happy for finding new followers, lovely readers or blogging friends!
