Affiliate Marketing For Bloggers: A How To Guide

September 29, 2021September 29, 2021by Olivia31 Comments

When I first started my website, I always wondered what affiliate marketing for bloggers was. I always remember seeing the words floating around the blog sphere and not really having any idea on what it was or how it applied to me. The idea of turning your hobby into a way to make money can seem scary, and honestly it is. Sometimes when people do that, their hobby stops being fun. Which is why when you introduce money into anything, you should always be careful.

My 5 Top Tips To Make Your Blog Successful

September 20, 2021September 27, 2021by Olivia44 Comments

There are so many factors that come into play when you are wanting to make your blog successful. And honestly, some strategies work for others and might not work for you. I get emails regularly with people wanting the secret to growing their blogs. Let me just say, there is no secret. Other than hard work and getting things done. There is no work around to success. Alot of the most successful people and bloggers in the world, got there because they worked their butts off. It’s kind of insulting when people ask what the secret is. It diminishes the hard work you have put in to make something work.

Because I am about to give you a real insight into really how much it costs to run a blog. And believe me, it isn’t cheap!

The Importance of Standing Up For Yourself

September 6, 2021September 2, 2021by Olivia65 Comments

I really dislike confrontation, but I never let that get in the way of standing up for myself when I need to. It’s taken me a while to not let anxiety and self-doubt stop me from sticking up for myself and showing others that I won’t be walked over. I see it so often. Timid people being treated poorly, or spoken to with disrespect and them not having the courage to say anything back or stand up for themselves. I guess thats where my empathy comes in. If I know someone won’t do that for themselves, I often step in if I feel the need to. Nobody is getting taking advantage of, not on my watch.

It’s important that when someone tells us they feel anxious or down, we do what we can to help an anxious friend.

I absolutely loved the idea so here are my tips on how to help an anxious friend.

It’s Taken Me 26 Years To Love Myself

September 1, 2021September 1, 2021by Olivia28 Comments

I can’t actually believe that its taken me 26 years to love myself, but here I am.

As many of you know, over the last 6 months I have embarked on a new lifestyle journey. Learning to love and respect my body, mind and soul. I have been exercising and eating better so that I can become better. But not only have I been learning to love my body, but myself as a whole. Never before I have I felt such peace with myself. Everyday I learn something new about who I am and who I am becoming. I have spoken to a few people about this topic, and so many have said that they are at a point even still at 40-50 years old where they don’t love themselves. Society has such a large part to play in this. With their unreal beauty standards and expectations of how we should look and be as people.

5 Random Facts About Me

August 30, 2021August 27, 2021by Olivia25 Comments

I have realised that it’s been a while since I shared some random facts about me on my blog. It’s very rare that I share personal things about myself on here, and I really want to start doing it more often. Being a blogger can be hard sometimes, finding the fine line between inviting people into your life and oversharing. I am quite a private person, and only share private parts of my life with a select few. But, I want to get to know my audience (you!) better!

Todays post will be short and sweet, but hopefully a conversation starter for us all to get to know each other that little bit more!
