Not quite a year later I started doing my first reviews and giveaways. I loved providing my readers with reviews of products that I loved and was given the amazing opportunity to review! As my blog began to grow so did offers to do reviews and sponsored posts, etc. And I would see other blogs with high value giveaways or even cash giveaways and keeping up with numbers and stats and I felt the need to keep up almost and so I looked for more reviews and giveaways to do and signed up for giveaways with other bloggers and just tried to keep up with the growing trend!
While I do still enjoy doing reviews and giveaways very much, I miss the personal aspect of my blog. I LOVE writing about my family and my boys and my life! I don't have the most interesting life, but I think it's a pretty good one and I enjoy telling my readers about it. I know some of you just follow for the giveaways or have only started following during a giveaway, and that's understandable. But I do hope so of my readers enjoy reading about my life.
So I have decided to continue to keep my blog a personal one. I have decided not to worry about the stats and numbers or how many giveaways I have going, or how BIG my reviews/giveaways are and just write about what I love-my family and my life. I want to share with you how my boys are growing. I want to write about my new workout routine. I want to share recipes with you! I just want to share my life with you! That doesn't mean I'm not going to have anymore reviews and giveaways. In fact, I have two to post within the next week! But they won't be as often and might not be as HUGE as other blogs. I will review products I feel that my readers would enjoy and benefit from. If it's not a product my followers would be interested in, I won't review it. I want my blog to be somewhere you can go to read about a fellow mommy or woman and relate to.
So I hope this doesn't totally turn you off to my blog and I hope you'll continue to follow me on this journey I call life! Without my readers I might as well just write in a diary with a lock and key! :)
If it isn't personal i don't visit much. Giveaway are cool but not as cool as the people behind the blog.
ReplyDeleteI SO know where you are coming from! Looking forward to some new 'family' posts!
ReplyDeleteTotally understand and I like the personal aspect of blogs.
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Can't wait for the recipes and stories!
ReplyDeleteyou have to blog for you babe...
ReplyDeletelooking forward to reading more about those delicious boys!
Yay! Looking forward to seeing more personal posts!
ReplyDeletelooking forward to the changes i agree sometimes it feels like we get caught up ive had that feeling for a while
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you have figured out what you want and that you are sticking around.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you're getting back to what you want to write about! I just started a blog myself about my journey going to a healthy living lifestyle. While I would like to get to the point where I want to do reviews and giveaways (I have a PR friendly page up on the blog), I'm going to try to keep it manageable and a good mix of both. Thank you for this post- you really helped this new blogger out!
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I prefer reading the personal posts. If I see that a post is a sponsored one or a giveaway in my reader I tend to skip it anyway. Not just on your blog, but on all the ones I follow.
ReplyDeleteAll the blogs I read are for the personal aspect. I like to know that I'm not "alone" if I have a bad day & just want to run away! :o)
ReplyDeleteI Think its great too! I have a new blog and i have to say, i am getting carried away. I find myself spending to much time online trying to build my numbers up. Its exhausting! When that was not why I started a blog. I say good for you!
ReplyDeleteI actually prefer blogs that are personal with the occasional giveaways. To often I think bloggers have lost site of why they started blogging in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI prefer blogs that have more personal posts with giveaways tossed in, rather than solid giveaway blogs.
