February is now gone and it was a GREAT month!  I celebrated my 30 something birthday and I had a blast.   Matter of fact I am still celebrating.  It was also a productive month for my blog.  My social media followers have grown especially on Instagram and Twitter.  Every single day I look forward to a notice from Hootsuite informing me of a new follower or mention!  I get so excited.

I am truly excited that my blog has grown, however it has not grown as much as I want it to.  To be honest, I am still flexing my writing muscles, so creating great content is a bit challenging.  Luckily, I have joined a great blogging network, which allows me to interact other bloggers, gain ideas on future posts, etc.  If you are a new blogger, I totally recommend joining a blogging network.

Blogger Relationships:

I have enjoyed interacting with other bloggers through my blogger network.  It is a great way to network which is important to building your email list.  I would like to meet and follow (5) new bloggers this month.

Read More Blogs:

READING other blogs is important.  Not just blogs in genre, but others as well.  My blog is mostly lifestyle and fashion based.  However, I read blogs about music, business, DIY and others that peak my interest.  :o)

Build Email List:

I should have started my email list a long time ago.  Creation of an email list is essential to blogger growth. I am thinking of creating a monthly newsletter, which would showcase additional content, fashion tips and tricks, networking events, etc.

Batch Content:

Balancing my full time job and my blog is a little challenging, but manageable with the use of applications and effective scheduling.  I have scheduled time during the weekend to write out my posts for the week including social media.

Take More Pictures:

I say this every single month.  I need to take more pictures.  I have been having a little anxiety about posting pictures of myself.  Sounds weird right?  Its the truth.  After consulting with other bloggers; I have learned that there are others who have the same problem.  I have partnered with a great photographer who also happens to be a fellow blogger.  Check out my Instagram and Snapchat for more selfies! :o)

Product Hauls and Videos:

I always admired haul videos! I don’t have the professional photo set up, but my iPhone is just going to have to do! lol
