Most bloggers start blogging because they love it and it is fun but over the time lot of them turn their blog in to business. And this process would be much faster if most of us including me knew certain things from the very beginning.
- Network, network, network – When I started blogging I was pretty much isolated and I was surprised not much was happening. I had no idea I need to meet other bloggers or PR. And I was doing this for years. Now I know this is one of the most important things in blogging. You have to be out there.
- Invest money in your blog and your camera – There is no point to do things half way. So invest in a good camera, good lens, good blog design and whatever else you feel is important. Quality sells and attracts people. You have to be good in order to get noticed and make people to come back.
- Social media are important – I wish I started Instagram straight away. I was pretty much ignoring certain social media as I thought it is not important. And look at those bloggers that started straight away. They were already so much ahead. So never underestimate your social media and stay active.
- Don’t try to be like somebody else – Copying, comparing yourself to others and trying to be who you are not is the worse thing ever. The whole Instagram is covered with similar accounts and people creating similar content. Stop trying to be like the others and stay yourself. I remember when I started blogging I was fascinated by Blonde Salad and it was so tempting to create similar content but there is no point. You will get far if you create your own thing.
- Work on your brand – Blog is your brand. You are your own brand so this is all about the whole package. Never forget this. It is everything and not just about the content. It is about you and what you want to represent.
Vetsina blogeru zacina blogovat, protoze je to bavi a maji blog vlastne jako konicek. Ale je spousta z nas, kteri nakonec promeni blog v praci. A tento proces by byl urcite rychlejsi, kdyz clovek vi urcite veci. Ja jsem par let nemela ani poneti co je a co neni treba.
- Network, network, network – Kdyz jsem zacala blogovat tak jsem byla zcela izolovana. Nestykala jsem se ani s blogery a ani s PR. A to je vlastne jedna z nejdulezitejsich faktoru v blogovani. A proto chodte kam to jen jde, alespon na zacatku blogovani. Vybudujte si sit kontaktu a uvidite pote obrovske zmeny.
- Investuj penize jak do blogu tak i vybaveni – Kvalita je velmi dulezita a kez bych to vedela uz na zacatku blogovani. Idealni je udelat si pruzkum trhu a investovat do dobreho vybaveni, do dobreho designu a take je treba obcas pustit korunu, kdyz je potreba.
- Socialni site jsou dulezite – Dodnes lituju, ze jsem s Instagramem nezacala uz mnohem drive. Kdyz vidim nektere blogerky, ktere tak udelaly, tak si uvedomuju, ze to bylo hloupe rozhodnuti. Ale kdyz tenkrat mi to prislo zbytecne a dalsi prace navic. Socialni site jsou zkratka pro blogery velmi dulezite.
- Nesnazte se byt tim kym nejste – A je to tady zase. Myslim, ze tohle vzpominam u kazdeho clanku. Jen si predstavte kolik podobnych uctu na Instagramu denne vidite. Nema cenu se ani srovnavat a ani se snazit byt nekym, kym nejste. Pred lety jsem zboznovala Blonde Salad a tolikrat jsem chtela udelat podobny clanek ci outfit a jsem rada, ze jsem odolala.
- Vypracujte se a vytvorte si svou vlastni brand/znacku – Blog neni jenom blog. Vse kolem blogu a hlavne vy jste takova znacka. Jde o celek a nejenom jednu cast. A proto je dulezite premyslet o vas jako o znacce a co chcete representovat. Na to nikdy nezapominejte.

I think the most important thing when it comes to blogging is to be true to yourself! Don’t follow what successful bloggers are doing, just be you! I agree with all these. x
