I used to have a blog where I wrote about things I experienced and other stuff on my mind.
But it seemed to be difficult to get readers/visitors to my blog.
However - my sister in law, who had an interior-blog – gained great success and lots of visitors.
I realized that I had to change my blog in order to get out to the readers.
My first mistake was that I got hung up in how many hits there were on my page compared to my sister in law’s. I split my blog in two and made one of them a bit like my sister in law’s blog. I registered in a blog-community and got much more response. This was a community for interior-blogs and that was my second mistake. The blogging did not make me feel good anymore.
I did NOT want to write about the things I bought on my last shopping round, my new kitchen curtains or the cupboard that I painted to look shabby chic. Not without having something more to tell along with it. It felt like I’ve turned into a “no-brain-copy-paste-look what I can do-blogger”. No offense to those who like to blog that way – but I did not.
I wanted to write about heaven and hell, ghosts, books, music, my obvious depression, alternative thinking/doing and my own poems. I wanted to make people laugh, cry, be shocked or just interested in what I wrote. Not just peek at my photos, write a comment like; you’re sooo good at this or that. I wanted people to get involved, take a stand and start discussions.
I still do!!
So I closed my blogs – took a long break – thinking. And now I am back with my new blog – My big white book – where nothing is secret but still not unpleasant. Still with me?? Please leave a comment or say hello :o)
