Supporting other bloggers – why I have ‘best friends’ in the blogging world
The blogging world is a whole new world. You meet people that you may never have met and you have real relationships. I have been very blessed by my group of online blogging friends. Supporting other bloggers has become our second nature. I have many blogging friends, but I thought it would be easiest to just talk about the one that you know here, Paula. These are a couple of my best blogging friends and I put her blog (Beauty Through ...

Why I’m a Linky Party Pooper

I have also benefited from increased traffic and being featured. There are many positives from link parties. But I also think that ...

How to turn your average posts into the best... Have you ever seen another blogger's post go viral and you think to yourself "I wrote on that exact concept a few months ago and no one cared???" It can be a bit frustrating, but rest assured this has happened to all of us. Sometimes it's just because the other blogger already has a larger platform with more people to share their content. Other times they may have just caught a lucky break ...
