Blogging involves so much more than writing, SEO and social media. Blogging is ultimately about creative self-expression and building relationships. So when I look back on the last year, I don’t think about how much time I spent on WordPress. I think about the inspiring people I met in cool places.
Blogging is rewarding because it provides access to experiences I would not enjoy otherwise. I think the tagline for Smirnoff’s Exclusively for Everyone campaign captures blogger outreach quite well because everyone can start a blog and therefore become eligible to participate in blogger outreach programs. With so many free online resources available, there’s no better time to join the blogging community than right now.
Blogging on Tumblr and WordPress for the last four years has been a wonderful experience. Launching Hot On The Street’s Facebook page was a major highlight in the last year and I can’t wait to redesign my website soon. Whether you invited me to a media preview, took a picture while I posed with someone famous or simply liked my Facebook posts, I really appreciate your support!
