6 SIMPLE THINGS I STOPPED DOING TO MY NATURAL HAIR

February 19, 2019 22 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all having a good day and had a great start of the week. I decided to embark on a water fast and don’t even know what made me do such a thing, I haven’t cheated or fainted yet so let’s hope I make it through. Anyway since I was thinking of doing my hair this week, it made me realise how my routine has changed. If you read my post here on how to have healthy natural hair then you know what it takes. Since then, my hair has gone through a lot from pregnancy to colour damage to lots of unnecessary trims. I did notice 6 simple things I stopped doing to my natural hair and I will be sharing that with you today.

Hi there,

It’s the end of the week so you can imagine my excitement, I hope you are all doing great. My son has been sick all week so all I have been doing is taking care of two kids who decide to whine at the same time or just scream nonstop. Anyway he managed to attend school today but I do hope they don’t call me that he is feeling unwell again, his fevers are no joke and really get scary. My last post was all about Valentines and some ideas you could do but today it’s all about my love for chicken wings and these dry rubbed garlic and lemon baked chicken wings will definitely hit your craving spot.

WHERE TO PROMOTE YOUR BLOG POSTS ONCE YOU’VE PUBLISHED THEM

October 9, 2018 45 Comments

So,

I already shared with you how you can promote your blog posts effectively in my previous posts and today I am back to tell you where you can be able to do that in order to get the most traffic to your site. Honestly, when I first started, I wrote my posts, published them and did nothing else, I guess I thought that I would get organic traffic instantly without doing anything which was so naive of me to even think like that, I needed to share my posts and share them in different platforms in order to get the best outcome and increase my blog’s traffic. So today I am here to share with you where to promote your blog posts once you’ve published them.

HERE IS WHY I READ YOUR BLOG

January 9, 2018 103 Comments

Hello there,

Finally, I get to write the first post of the year. I know It’s kinda late but it’s all good so long as I do it right? Anyway where are my manners, happy new year to you all and I hope you’re all having a great start to it. Last year, I wrote a post on reasons why I don’t stay to read your blog and as much as it did really well, I also got some backlash from other readers who thought it wasn’t fair and that I was on the wrong. One may think that it would stop me from continue writing but as I wrote on that particular post, they were all my opinions and that I knew some would disagree with me and it was also totally okay if that happened, today’s post is the opposite. Here is why I read your blog.

I was asked by some of my readers what I would like to see in other blogs and what would make me stay to read them too. So these are my answers and yes people, once again I know that this might not be everyone’s cup of tea but that’s just perfect. We are all entitled to our own opinions, don’t come for me. So what exactly would be in your blog that would make me stay and read it without exiting in seconds?

1. SIMPLE LAYOUT

We all know that we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover but I tend to do that sometimes, it’s human nature. When it comes to a blog’s layout, it should be easy to follow and just simple. I know we all all want the most professional looking website but that can sometimes hurt your blog if you’re trying to include too many things from slides, to movable images just let it be. I will read your blog if I’m able to find something easily and fast, from your categories to your blog posts. If I can get to your about page without having to pass through other categories then I’m happy. Make your layout to be simple and easy to manoeuvre without someone having to stress about where to find your comment section or the pin it button.

We all hope for the best in our blogging endeavours but you also come to realise real quick that blogging does take a lot of work and planning. This can either be a good or bad thing for you depending on where you want to take your blog and how serious you are about it. So I came on here today to give you 5 reasons why your blog might fail and see if any of them apply to you.

5 reasons why your blog might fail

As I said before,

There is a lot of planning and work involved when it comes to blogging and as much as I would want to sugar coat it and say we will all make it, I can’t because that would depend on whether or not you came into it for the right reasons or not. So without rumbling anymore, let me just get into it and start with the first reason.
