When I started blogging I had no idea what direction I wanted to take, I thought maybe I should do fashion because people compliment my dress sense which if I am honest and seeing the many posts on the blogsphere I am not that great but its unique to me. I thought maybe I could do makeup and
beauty products, well the make-up part failed miserable because though I do wear it now and again I am not really that into it but I do love
beauty products and am sure you have seen my many posts on my main blog
A July Dreamer. I was very confused when I started, I wanted my little piece of heaven to fit in somewhere. I have never been like that before in real life so I do not know why I wanted to be this on the blogsphere. Almost all the bloggy advice I read always talked about 'finding your blog niche' define it by plonking it in a category, some bloggers have even gone as far as said 'Lifestyle blog' is not really a category its for the undecided. I struggled with this for a while because I did not want to limit my blog to just say 'make-up' or 'out-fit' posts and there is nothing wrong with that I believe each to their own. When I chose to create my blogs I wanted to share me and the 4 corners of my world not just my love of
nail polish or
my addiction to jewellery or lipstick. I wanted to share my love of 'food', 'books' and share some motivational posts and personal confessions that might help someone somewhere, my advice to new and oddie bloggers is 'don't go with the crowd, follow your own path'. If you want a fashion blog only, do that if you want mummy blog only do that do not follow the crowd follow yourself. I love my blogs because both are LIFESTYLE and PERSONAL and I intend to keep them like that. I want to share all my loves, pevs and wants, I know it wont always be everyone's cup of tea but that's ok 'each to their own'.
Did you ever feel pressured to fit into a certain 'NICHE' or did you know already what you wanted to share or have it just developed along the way?
Yep, I feel the same way, "Each to their own". If you like me that's great and if you don't move on. No problem. I likes the way you think. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you marie, have a good day too and yes each to their own
DeleteIt's great that you're yourself in the blogging world Myrabev. I used to feel pressured to fit into the bblogger category but I'm now a mix of everything! I think it's better to write for yourself rather than other people.
ReplyDeleteThank you Fiona and love that you blogging about everything
DeleteMy blog is also a mix of everything I love to share as well. I don't feel pressured to write about any niche as long as I'm comfortable telling my opinion to the public.
ReplyDeleteI love a mix of everything and that you chose it to be that way x
DeleteI have always done my own thing. I don't care what other people think :)
ReplyDeleteAlways the best way to go, taking people's thoughts usually leads to no good
DeleteMy blog is a personal blog though a large part of my content is fitness and travel. I can go with different topics though.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that Franc, so long as its your own choice not pressure I think its good x
DeleteSo true. Don't you hate it when people needs to do along with something just because everyone is into it? I am very different - I go by my own rules whenever I want it, lol.
ReplyDeleteSet your own rules Aisha we are all unique because we different x
DeleteLike you, at first when I started blogging everyone said to find a "niche". I've just ignored that for the most part and post whatever I want- blogging is for me!
ReplyDeleteI felt pressure because I did not even know if I was doing it right but then I decided like you to just ignore them
DeleteI do not feel any pressure with having to dress like everyone else.. but the kids a big different story.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, what ever makes you happy
DeleteI agree with you about feeling the pressure but I've learnt to blog about whatever I'm comfortable with. Don't force a post, it should come to you naturally. I love those shoes!
ReplyDeleteThanks love me these shoes and yes blogging about what we comfortable with is always the best way to go about it.
DeleteI love to wear a flanel and Jeans. Cooler weather to me is all about staying warm not stylish.
ReplyDeletehaha I am all for the warmth never the style but I try
DeleteLive and let live, and be your own man or woman, as the case may be. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn, I couldn't agree more x
DeleteI've never been niche either, and I like it that way because it lets me do lots of things and not get bored. I think it's totally fine to do your own thing!
ReplyDeleteIts so ok to do your own thing than trying to fit in
DeleteIt's better to stand out than be lost in the crowd. My blog is under 2 years old and still do not have a niche or anything. I just post whatever.
ReplyDeleteWell I am glad to hear that, standing out for yourself is the best way to go, ps I love your blog and your son is so cute x
DeleteI know people often try to put bloggers in categories, but I think it's best just to do what you love. I think it's something that everyone struggles with more or less. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI agree doing what you love I am sure its why most of us started blogging
DeleteLove, love, love the owl jewelry!!! I agree with you, DON'T go with the crowd :)
ReplyDeleteawww thanks I love too
DeleteI think a lot of us are pressured to fit into a blogging niche. It's always best to just be yourself! If you write what you love, people will come.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, write what you love
DeleteI am loving me some skinny jeans right now... And now that its colder here I can now wear layers and i'm excited.
ReplyDeleteI love skinny jeans and been wearing them a lot lately with the weather being this cold
DeleteI love and totally agree with this post. I am LOVING the owl stuff!
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks, my eye necklace is an absolute gem
DeleteI developed it a long the way. We grow, evolve, change things. This is life. I love those shoes: gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThanks, we definitely do grow and things do certainly change
DeleteI have always just done my own thing and not worried about what others think.. I like your geek shirt.
ReplyDeleteThanks doing our own thing is important though sometimes not easy
DeleteI love the owl necklace. I have a collection of owls. The Geek sweater is really cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love my owl necklace and the geek jumper is lovely thanks
DeleteMy blog has changed a lot over the years, and I have learned to blog about things I love and not what everyone thinks. It was hard to let it go, but I am much happier.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to let go but once you do its amazing feeling
DeleteI like that quote, speaks so much honesty. Be your own beauty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amber, created my own quote though am sure am not the first lol
DeleteTo each their own. Cheers to that!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteI agree, be who you want to be and dress any way you like!
ReplyDeleteExactly the point i am trying to get across
DeleteI totally agree with this post. I'm loving your owl necklace!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteIt's always best to do your own thing. Authenticity works out best in the long run.
ReplyDeleteIt really does
DeleteWhen I first started to blog I was told that I had to pick a "niche". I knew I wanted to share my fun mommy moments. But I also wanted to share some stuff about my business. I didn't like that I had to pick one. So I didn't lol I 'm glad too. I just blog about the stuff I love!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you didnt choose to pick one its good to do your own thing
DeleteHey, I like what you share and blogging is all about us. Or it should be. Nope, I've never felt pushed into a niche or anything :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you never felt pushed into any niche etc, blogging is about us and what we love to share
DeleteSo true. You are a wise woman ;-) Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteawww thank you
DeleteOMG I LOVE the GEEK sweater!!!!! :) thanks for sharing!
