Wonderland Warblings - A brief Story

I was in my second year of University when I first started my blog, however it wasn't always called Wonderland Warblings. When I first started my blog, it was at a time that I was struggling with a lot of things going on in my life, struggling with living alone, and choosing the wrong course at university. The original plan for my blog was to get my writing out there as I really loved the idea of becoming a journalist one day. The name of my blog was One Journalist and their Camera, and it was mainly just for me to share photography and hints and tips and really meaningful posts that were always complimented by fantastic imaged. This changed when I stopped enjoying this, I enjoyed the writing, but I didn't like having a "niche" as they call it. Now, Wonderland Warblings, is just a place for me to talk about anything and everything I want to, and I'm really happy with that. 

My Advice:

1. Always write for you. It's all well and good writing what people want you to write, but if you're not enjoying what you're writing about, what's the point? This is your blog, don't let anyone tell you how to run it. 

2. Promote your blog everywhere. Use Twitter because the Blogging community on Twitter is absolutely thriving, you will meet so many fantastic people, you can join in on so many blogging chats, and it's just the best place to promote. Use Instagram because most bloggers take fantastic photographs, or are even photographers so they use Instagram a lot, it's another great way to get yourself out there. Use every form of social media you can get your hands on, whether that be Facebook, Pinterest and so on and so forth. Get on sites like Bloglovin that will help you build your following.
