Oh hi there! Happy Wednesday to you all
Tonight I am excited to share the rest of my Blog Podium wrap up post! I am still getting back in to the swing of things and trying to get on top of this whole blogging thing again. Sometimes I cannot believe how quickly the weeks go by. Before I know it, the weekend is here again and there is tons going on! So bare with me, and I hope you enjoy part two of what I learned at Blog Podium!
Bloggers & Brands :
- Don't focus on numbers. Focus on content and building community
- After working with a brand, share positive feedback along with stats and media links
- Be professional, honest and enthusiastic!
- Treat your blog like a business, even if it's a hobby
- YOU are a business
- ALWAYS answer emails (within 48 hours if you can!) * I need to get better at this!
- Keep learning, creating and reading
Words of wisdom/Building Successes :
- Goal setting is a massive tool you need to use ; set goals for your blog
- Decide what your skill set is
- Treat everybody like their someone really important
- Don't count on instant gratification, good things take time

- Become an inspiration. Re-inspire yourself on your passions on bringing in new elements

Closing Notes/Take aways/ Things to remember :
