Research will save you time<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research what others are doing and learn from their experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will save you so much time (and money) in the long run!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure to diversify who you\u2019re learning from because different tactics will work for different people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will start to see patterns emerge over time of what&#8217;s consistently worked for others and will build a bank of tips and tricks to use for yourself down the line.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Invest in yourself and your blog<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I highly recommend spending the extra cash on products and services that will set you up for long-term success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spending the money now can save you a lot of hassle down the line and avoid redoing many things later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you can easily start a blog for free using sites like Blogspot or Blogger, but doing so will limit how you can monetize your blog later.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas, if you start off self-hosting, you\u2019ll be set up for monetization right from the start!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, if you want to make blogging your full-time job, you should treat it as a full-time job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make the investment because that will increase your motivation to make that money back two-fold!<\/p>\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here\u2019s a list of some of the best investments I\u2019ve made:&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/grammarly\/\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"479\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"Grammarly Premium Landing Page\" data-lasso-lid=\"2453\"><strong>Grammarly<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp; <\/strong>(how I make sure all my blogs and social assets are grammatically correct)&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/bluehost\/\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"480\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"Bluehost\" data-lasso-lid=\"2450\"><strong>Bluehost<\/strong><\/a><strong> &amp; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"481\"><strong>WordPress.org<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>(how I self-host my blog)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/17thavenuedesigns\/\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"482\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"17th Avenue Feminine WordPress Themes\" data-lasso-lid=\"2451\"><strong>17th Avenue WordPress Themes<\/strong><\/a> (easy to use website themes)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/aselfguru\/\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"483\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"A Self Guru - Legal Blogging Packet\" data-lasso-lid=\"2452\"><strong>A Self Guru &#8211; Legal Bundle<\/strong><\/a> (peace of mind that my blog is protected legally)<\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"484\">Canva<\/a><\/strong> (how I create all my blog creative assets)<\/li><li><strong>Blogging courses<\/strong> for blogging, Pinterest, affiliate marketing, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more detail about these resources, check out this post: <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/why-i-started-blogging-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"485\">Why I Started Blogging + Resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><sup>Some of these are affiliate links which means I may make a commission after your purchase at no extra cost to you.

Read the full disclosure\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/legal\/legal-policies\/\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"486\"><sup><em>here<\/em><\/sup><\/a><em><sup>.<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. People don\u2019t care about you (that much).<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest beginner blogger tips to remember is that you <em>need<\/em> to write about things that benefit or help the reader.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s super important to keep in mind, especially when it comes to getting people to your site and staying there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People who find your blog don\u2019t know you and don\u2019t care to read about your life updates (at least not at first).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Readers find your blog because they\u2019re looking for an answer to a problem or question they have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find ways to infuse yourself, but don\u2019t make that your blog\u2019s core focus at first.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will take time for you to build a loyal readership that gets invested in your personal life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bonus tip:<\/strong> Remember to be thoughtful about how you use all your social platforms.&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Instagram is where you can show more BTS (behind the scenes) \/ personal content to build brand affinity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, Pinterest is NOT the place for that. Pinterest is not a social platform; it is a visual search engine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. It will be a lonely (but rewarding) journey.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blogging is time-intensive. You will spend a good chunk of your time writing and learning &#8211; all of which will be done solo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will need to learn how to balance personal and blogging time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absorb beginner blogging tips and learn how to optimize and create efficiencies in how you work.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Taking breaks is essential.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I firmly believe that taking breaks and creating time to <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/important-benefits-of-trying-new-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"487\">try new things<\/a> will make you a better blogger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspiration can come from anywhere so it&#8217;s important to indulge in other things outside of your computer screen.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the creative process takes a lot of mental energy, and breaks will help you avoid feeling fatigued or burnt out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. You will wear many hats.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you start your blog, you will be a one-person show!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will be an accountant, PR director, social media manager, writer, graphic designer, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be much for you to learn, which is why blogging courses and online classes\/videos will be your friend!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I invested in <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/skillshare\/\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"488\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-name=\"Skillshare\" data-lasso-lid=\"2482\">Skillshare<\/a> because it was a way for me to learn various new things from teachers who are experts in their field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are only some of the classes I\u2019ve taken so far:&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/skillshare.eqcm.net\/eOaQZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"489\" data-lasso-name=\"Eqcm\" data-lasso-lid=\"6641\">Graphic Design Basics: Core Principles for Visual Design<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/skillshare.eqcm.net\/qeV0O\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"490\" data-lasso-name=\"Eqcm\" data-lasso-lid=\"6642\">Finding Instagram Success: Build an Account People Care About<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/skillshare.eqcm.net\/Lzg5O\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"491\" data-lasso-name=\"Eqcm\" data-lasso-lid=\"6643\">Color Theory: Get Inspired by Color!<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/skillshare.eqcm.net\/R4KLy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"492\" data-lasso-name=\"Eqcm\" data-lasso-lid=\"6644\">Introduction to SEO: Tactics and Strategy for Entrepreneurs<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/skillshare.eqcm.net\/KogPz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"493\" data-lasso-name=\"Eqcm\" data-lasso-lid=\"6645\">Content Marketing: Blogging for Growth<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/skillshare.eqcm.net\/QR0Gz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"494\" data-lasso-name=\"Eqcm\" data-lasso-lid=\"6646\">Build Your Freelance Business and Work From Home!

Instant success is unrealistic.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blogging is a long-term game, and your numbers will fluctuate, especially in the beginning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a beginner blogger, you are building a foundation for your blogging business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will take time for you to gain high traffic and build your email lists, but that shouldn\u2019t discourage you. It\u2019s normal!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now, you are still learning and optimizing to find what works best for you and your brand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The longer you\u2019re blogging, the easier it will get down the line. Push through and keep going!<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9.<\/strong> <strong>You will not get support from everyone.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be people who are 100% here for your blogging journey and others who don\u2019t want you to succeed or don\u2019t think you can.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people may think you\u2019re on a fool\u2019s mission &#8211; but don\u2019t listen to them. Their thoughts are more a reflection of their own limitations than of you.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need validation from others to succeed. You just need yourself to believe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you feel aligned and this makes you happy &#8211; go for it. Just do it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t let the naysayers get in your head and in your way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related post: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylebyremi.com\/staging\/2326\/the-power-of-words-and-positive-affirmations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"501\">The Power of Words and Positive Affirmations<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. It pays off to start before you know what you\u2019re doing.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t hold off on starting a blog or a new business venture until after you know everything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will always be something new to learn. You will constantly be learning as you go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the fastest way to learn things is by applying and putting your newly learned skills to use!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t be afraid to make some mistakes in the beginning.
