Hiya darlings! I’m Sara, from herelectricocean.blogspot.co.uk. You might remember me from a while back in October when I published a post over here on Aisha’s blog that was all about change.
Today I thought I'd post a fun, airy post about some of the #firstworld blogger problems that I'm pretty sure you'll all be able to relate to. Let me know what your thoughts are, and if I've missed any out please feel free to add them in the comments section!
1. When it's always TOO DARK TO TAKE PICTURES
2. And when the lighting is perfect, you rush to grab your camera, and there's no battery left...
3. So you look for a stock photo for your next post, but end up getting to carried away, and download/purchase a mini haul of them
4. And you realize you have like no storage left
5. So you go out to town for one thing and end up spending £70 because you need new props anyway, and there was a 'sale'
6. But then you have to try and justify it to a non-blogger and they don't understand why you're buying 'props' for your flatlays
7. And all your friends seem to assume that your blog is some kind of secret diary for everyone to read
8. So you try and make some blogger friends, but they all seem to be based on the other side of the country- or world
9. When your computer crashes- just after you've finished writing out a super long post
10. So you go onto Instagram, and have instant envy of every blogger you follow because they have the brand new 'it' book
11. And you realize that you hardly ever get sent anything compared to the bloggers you read
12. Then you start criticizing your blog so much you wonder if your blog is even worth running
13. So you write a post about blogger blues for the 20425247025th time
14. And get like no comments, because everyone's heard it before- if not from you, then from someone else going through the exact same thing
15. So you stay up all night googling how to maximise views and comments for your next post, and so the cycle continues.

I can relate to almost every one of these. I am always looking for ways to get more audience, and maximize my views/comments. Tips to all bloggers: 1) Just work hard, and it will all become as easy as anything. 2) Communicate A LOT. 3) Lastly, just be yourself!
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips! Thanks for reading. ♡
Delete#7 is so true!! Some of my friends check out my blog and think I'm hiding things when clearly I'm not since this is the internet lol
ReplyDeleteVery true. I expected some people from my school would see my blog since I promote it a lot on my Instagram. Thanks for reading. ♡
Deletehaha cool post! Definitely relatable
ReplyDeleteLots of love from kinga.jpg blog
Sara deserves all credit. Thanks for reading! ♡
Delete7. and 8. are literally my life! Also, I'm always trying to remind myself that every blog is different and that comparing mine to others is not the thing I should focus on. Great post!
