My Birthday, 5 Years Blogversary and 7 Growth and Success Lessons I Have Learnt From Blogging

If you have been following my blogging journey, you would know that my birthday is also the “blogversary” of the Moj In Touch blog. This blog was the gift I gave to myself 5 years ago for my birthday and I am so grateful that I embarked on this journey as it has shaped me, groomed me, broken me and re-moulded me. This journey has helped me to discover who I am, what I want and what I do not want and most importantly has directed me to my purpose in life. Today, I will share what I did for my birthday and some lessons I have learnt from blogging….

HOW TO KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE ARE NOT THAT INTO YOU (BLOGGING FOR SUCCESS PART 8)

If you are a “serious” Blogger, you would know by now that Blogging is not a child’s play. It is not for the faint hearted. It is time consuming, brain tasking and it involves you knowing a little bit of everything or everything if I may say. From taking photos to editing them to writing great contents to marketing the contents you have spent time to create, you must know everything or almost everything, especially if you are just starting out and can’t afford to outsource.

Blogging is not rice and beans (a.k.a blogging is NOT easy) BUT it is doable and can lead to GREAT opportunities and has a very big potential to lead to phenomenal things, including being your own boss.

HOW TO HANDLE HATE COMMENTS & ATTACK (BLOGGING FOR SUCCESS PART 6)

When I decided to write this post, it reminded me of back in the day when people would tease me about my height, my weight, my legs, my hair and everything really. In their opinion, I was too tall for a girl, too skinny for a girl, my legs are too skinny and my hair wasn’t thick(full) enough.  Fast forward to now, everyone wants to be thin, everyone wants to be tall, everyone wants to have long legs and everyone wants manageable afro 🙂 My advice to you is to LOVE YOURSELF and BE YOURSELF. You are unique and gifted in your own way.

 

That is not the post for today, that was by the way. Today, I will share with you WHY thick skin is a must for you as a Blogger / Content Creator.

BEFORE YOU ASK A BLOGGER FOR FREEBIES, THINK ABOUT THIS (BLOGGING FOR SUCCESS PART 5)

I haven’t written any “help for bloggers” post for a while. I will be writing more in the coming weeks because I have so many requests piled up from my inbox. I will share to the best of my ability and will only share things I know and are true. They are the things that have worked for me too on my blogging journey.

 

Firstly, I like to thank everyone who actually takes the time to READ my blogs. You are the reason WHY I write / share / blog and I love you for it.

Now unto the post:

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS ::: HOW TO USE REFLECTORS TO GET GOLDEN HOUR EFFECT ON YOUR PHOTOS

Amazingly, I know a lot about photography because of the photographers I work with + personal development. I also take great photos but ironically, I can’t take my own photos myself. I am gutted by that actually.

One of my goals as a fashion blogger is to be able to take my own photos myself. I have a solid camera and a tripod; these are the two things anyone needs to take photos I believe. I am hopeful to dedicate time to that real soon. If you have any TIPS on taking photos yourself, please share them with me below.
