I was enjoying my mom's nasi lemak last night, and I suddenly thought of all the things that I never have done as a blogger. I am not one of the successful bloggers out there. I am pretty much an amateur and I commit all of these blogging sins.
I don't have any white bedsheet/ marble background
White bedsheets, everything white and rose gold and marble, seem like the ultimate blogger trend now. I feel so guilty for not having one! I feel like I am not a true blogger unless I have those. If you did see my background is a marble, that's probably the floor in my house.
I don't give a damn about SEO/ Analytics/ my stats
I judge my blog's success based on how much I enjoy writing it and how much people enjoy reading it as well. Lots of people seem to be overly concerned about their domain authority and stuff like that, which I do not mind at all I mean, it is your blog you can do whatever you want with it. Honestly, I could not care less. Google Analytics and SEO are some of the most complicated things in the world, and it seems too much for my understanding.
I don't have a bullet journal
If you're not aware of bullet journals, you can google them. I don't use a bullet journal for my blog. I know bullet journal has the ability to customize and organize your to-do list, your next blog posts or sketchbook, or literally anything. Here in Malaysia, it can cost a lot of money for a piece of a bullet journal. It's not ideal for me, at least. Since I am a cheapskate, then I will have just a regular notebook, pretty colored pens, and lots of washi tapes to customize everything and it gets the job done too so I will be fine.
I have unstable blogging niches
I know I posted a lot of beauty-related stuff and I have a huge love for it, but sometimes I get exhausted from posting about beauty stuff. It's quite challenging to have a stable blogging niche. Especially in beauty. If you're not on your way to buying beauty products now, are you even a beauty blogger?
I don't have a DSLR
I absolutely don't have any blogging equipment, I mean a basic camera? Nah. Photoshop? Nah. Studio lighting? Nah. I use my very own phone's camera and natural lighting. The phone I am currently using is Samsung Galaxy S4, and that is the only tool I have. I really want to invest in a good camera but I have yet to see the need for me to own it.
I am domain name-less
I can't lie, it's pretty cool to have your own domain name. People will think that you take blogging seriously and you actually do. I think, for now, I will just stick to lennezulkiflly.blogspot.com then. Maybe if money wasn't my #1 problem, gurlll I will do just about anything for my blog.
Do you commit to any of these blogging sins too?
my sins are almost the same with yours TT_TT
ReplyDeletesisters! haha money and time are probably my enemies though *sigh*
DeleteHi pretty,
ReplyDeletenice write up...
I have all your "sins" but don't consider it as sins except #5
I'm a cheapskate too! I'm not going to spend money on my blog too ...hahaha later tak tahu lah...
i don't like spending on something yg intangible omg T.T tunggu lah bila i jadi millionaire nanti hahaa
DeleteSamalah.. masih lagi menggunakan blospot..
ReplyDeleteHp adalah alat yang selalu digunakan untuk ambil gambar dan update post..
macam ni jelah nampaknya, i'm not going to have my own domain anytime soon haha. and yup, most bloggers pun still using their phone's camera to take lots of pictures for the blog. good lighting is all you need ;)
Deletehahahaha...still have some of the 'sins'..
ReplyDeletecan't seem to run away from it though, sofie hahaa
DeleteI think I have all of 'sins' lenne xD
ReplyDeleteThinking to have my own domain name because missclaudy94.blogspot.com is too long to type haha but I spent too much money since last month, maybe next time or next year :)
i'm dying to have one. it looks professional though but i'm so broke hahaaa
DeletePendapat Mrs. A ok jer takde domain sendiri.
ReplyDeleteMengambil contoh cik epal dan hanis zalikha walaupun they both blogger fofular tapi still guna blogspot.com.
hehe personal preferences lah kan Mrs. A. takda domain sendiri pun okay but nampak lebih professional and it shows the seriousness kita dlm berblog :)
DeleteI hate SEO google analytic whatsoeverrrrrr thoooo .
ReplyDeleteikr!! it's the most confusing thing in the world
DeleteThis is so true, haha. I can relate so much. I do not own any white bedsheet or marble background either xD I just love to keep it fresh with the interesting fabrics on the clothings and stuff :)
ReplyDeleteAnd not only this. All of them are true for me, haha ◡‿◡✿
