As bloggers I feel like there is always one thing on our minds, and its how to grow your blog following. In our minds, more followers and more engagement means more success. But friend, It’s not always the case. You can have blogs that have thousands of followers and hardly any engagement and vice versa. It’s probably something alot of bloggers really struggle with. Actually, I know it’s something bloggers struggle with. Because I have been there myself. Blogs go through different periods of time where engagement and followers are high, and then there are months when they are low.

I remember seeing posts similar to this one, where bloggers talked about everything that went wrong in their first few months of blogging.

{AD} When it comes to any online content, digital branding is really what will set you apart from the rest. Think about what draws you in and makes you want to click onto a website, it’s the branding, the colours and the text fonts. As much as content is important, the branding has a role to play too. And it’s important to mention that you should be updating and replacing your branding as you grow as a creator.
I completely re-branded my blog in July and have changed my branding several times since then. As you grow as a creator and a person, your style changes and your preferences change too.

The world is full of weird people who do weird things. As bloggers we are somewhat open to the weirdos of the world attracting themselves to us.
