Well first off thanks to everyone who participated in my bag giveaway, the feedback was really helpful. Overall everyone said they liked my voice/personality. Quite a few wanted me to concentrate on giveaways and featuring other artists and others wanted me to stop talking about myself, but then on the other hand I got other people who said, it was great, because it feels like I was talking them to directly. I took it all on board, but at the end of the day…I came to the conclusion that I still have to be myself. I mean that’s what I do, I get all the thoughts that circle in my mind, and blurt them out on to a keyboard, which translates on to a monitor. The other thing that annoyed some was my spelling and grammar, but yes that was a given
I will try with that…really I will
You see my blog is like my inner voice, words just flow…just like right now. I’m not really thinking about what I am writing. I am just writing, and those words just jump out second after second and as soon as I try to change that, I will lose what just flows naturally.
I am thinking of doing more blog features, but not for this blog. In fact I am really thinking of making this blog purely about what is working and not working with getting this business up and running. That was my intention in the beginning, but it has got a little blurred now, and so it would be confusing to readers as to what I am concentrating on. My concentration should be about how I am trying to build traffic, marketing, advertising, pricing structure, daily inner battles, and the reason being…is that’s what I was looking for when I started this blog. I wanted to follow someones journey, understand there struggles and how they beat it, but then I thought maybe others would enjoy learning that from me too.
Sure features, product reviews are great, but there is so many blogs out there doing that already, and doing a good job of it and I am not really sure that would be my strength, or something I would enjoy doing on a weekly basis.
So it all goes back to my strengths and what I enjoy doing, and what I love doing… is unravelling a journey. So that’s what my focus will be.
My next blog post will be about paid advertising and hopefully I will some animated videos of my bags. I have this concept in the back of my mind that I need to get out.






Oh please please PLEASE, don’t do any product reviews! I find giveaway blogs the most annoying and boring kind of blogs in the history of blogging. Especially the kind written by bored stay-at-home mums, where they review whitening toothpaste and whatnot. >:) Girlstartup is such a lovely and helpful blog as it is.
(P.S. This morning I received the bag that I’ve won in the giveaway – it’s sooo lovely! Thanks.)
Oh good, so glad the bag arrived and you liked it Loreta
