I have a huge tip for you today, this one will help you be a happier, less-stressed blogger! ... Don't try to reach some one else's goals.

Today I wanted to share 4 mistakes the new bloggers make (I know because I made them, too!) 1).  Writing too much in one post.  I say this because I have been there, done that!  I wrote way too much in the beginning.   We were talking about this earlier in the week on our Blogging on the Side Facebook Group (you can join!) and someone asked how many words you should write per post.  While I stick with 250-500 (normally), I go over sometimes and ...
