Happy New week,

Hello everyone, I hope you all had an amazing weekend and are staying safe. We were surprisingly visited with some snow yesterday which was great to have and to also witness my youngest seeing his first snow. I hope it decides to stay awhile for a snowman attempt. Anyway, today I am back with another blogging post for you and is for those people who just started blogging and are still figuring out how to increase their page views without selling their souls or having to buy something to get the information they need. So here are 6 ways to explode your blog’s pageviews in a brand new blog if you are a newbie. In case you missed my post on the mistakes I did before launching my blog, do check it out here.

Blogging is really hit or miss sometimes whereby what may work for one blogger may not necessarily work for you and that is totally fine. There’s no point of beating yourself up if you tried what another person did and it just didn’t work. All you have to do is regroup and find new strategies that will work for you, I have personally used these specific ways and they really helped me out when I got started and still do up to now.

WHAT YOU SHOULD INCLUDE IN EVERY BLOG POST

January 18, 2021 97 Comments

Hello Everyone,

When I decided to start a blog, I told myself to just focus on the launching part and figure out the rest later on. Little did I know what was ahead of me, I never thought that writing one blog post had so much more entailed than just hitting publish. A blog post has much more entailed than just typing down words and sharing it to your readers, which I did learn along the way after making my share of many mistakes. So what should a blog post have? Every blog post requires certain properties for it to make a good post and here are some points on what you should include in every blog post.

Disclaimer: I am not saying that these are the only things you should include in every blog post because I know there are lots more out there and that we learn as we go. My posts are not perfect and I am just sharing what has worked for me and how I use them in my blog posts.

What makes a good blog post?

Should have images
Should be easy to read
Have good SEO
Good grammar
Have headings
Gets you more traffic

Now that you know what a good blog post is let’s get on with it and see what to include in every blog post.

July 10, 2020 21 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing great and still pushing on be it indoors or starting to venture out a bit. Now I don’t know about you but when it comes to fashion, I am not one to follow trends or go with the crowd. I prefer having something I really do like and fits in with my minimalist and sustainable lifestyle and thanks to Nordgreen, I get to do just that by adding a Native black leather watch to my wardrobe essentials which suits me perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. If you haven’t heard about Nordgreen, well it’s a Danish watch company that offers a sustainable, functional yet affordable collection of men’s / women’s watches with classic Scandinavian design.

CHECK OUT THESE 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD START A BLOG

February 18, 2020 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone doing? I hope you had a great start of the year. I don’t even know where to begin since it’s been a while since I came on here and wrote something. A little update about my life, so we moved house and still have stuff in boxes, I am yet to put up curtains and drill holes. My son had to change schools and the closest one is apparently out of spaces left. My school runs are not as exciting as before but he will still have to change schools again come next school year. Anyway, it’s been a lot and I have literally not felt like writing anything nor have I recorded any recipes. So, since February is here, I decided to give you reasons why you should start a blog today.
