How I Started Blogging
Well I had always loved writing and new that I wanted to write and one of my friends started a blog so I thought I would too because that would be the perfect way to start out and get better at writing as well as build an audience for my work.
Advice For New Bloggers
- Don’t give up- I know it’s slow when you start out and it’s hard to get views/likes/follows but if you put effort into it and keep posting regularly and stay active it will be worth it and your blog will grow.
- I’ve noticed a lot of bloggers these days, especially new ones, leave their links on the comments sections of other peoples posts- trust me you don’t want to do this. It’s super annoying and instead of giving you more traffic people are going to get pissed off and avoid you on purpose. Instead look for blogs that have a share and promote page and leave your link there.

I just do it for fun! Congratulations on the nomination, Priya. I know I sometimes leave my link at the bottom of comments, but it’s instinct 😂 I really ought to stop!
Congrats, Pooja! I’m glad you’re a blogger for I enjoy your little space on the internet.
Aww thank you so much that means so much to me!!
You’re welcome, Pooja. 😃
Congrats for your well deserved award!!
Thank you so much!
My pleasure Pooja 🤗💕
Congrats
Thanks
Welcome
Enjoy the victory 🙂
Thanks!
No problem
wow awesome and congrats!
Thank you!
I’ve been guilty of dropping links from time to time 😂. Thanks for the heads up. Congrats!
Lol that is not the best way to get views 😂
Nah but i tried to never do it obnoxiously. Only if i had written an article to the related topic, but yeah it’s a bit pushy 😝. Havent done it often.
I have one question for you Pooja. In your opinion, how important do you think post timing is to a new blogger? Or do you believe the quality of the work is the only thing that matters? Would love to hear your take on that
Well honestly timing is super important! I have a huge increase or decrease in views/follows depending on when I post. I actually have a post about finding the perfect time to post next week so keep an eye out for that I think it’ll help!
Looking forward to it. Way to stoke the fires of suspense. 😛
Hahah that’s how you get views 😉😜
Oh Pooja, dont you know I’d read your post anyways even without this carrot being dangled in front of my face? 😝 haha
Hahah that’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said! Ps. I hate carrots so none will be dangled on this blog!
Do you dangle Samosas? That would be very effective with me
Samosas I can get with 😂
Fantastic tips for new bloggers, Pooja! Lovely learning more about your blogging journey, well done for getting such a great award! 🙂
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations!👍
Thank you!
Welcome!😃
Congratulations on your nomination, Priya. Do you prefer to go by Priya or Pooja? I am leaving a reply here rather than on a guest post because I figured it is more polite. I don’t like posting links and I hope that this doesn’t end up in your spam inbox.
P.S. l have tagged you for 3.2.1 Quote Me with the topic of Love ❤️
https://sereneluna.wordpress.com/2019/06/30/3-2-1-quote-me-love/
Please see link for more details if you are interested in participating! 🙌
It’s Pooja and thank you so much for tagging me I’ll definitely check it out!
Good to know. I saw that someone had called you Priya in the previous comments so I wasn’t sure. Thanks for clarifying 🙂
Lol that’s totally okay! I saw someone had called me that too and I was like huh that’s weird.
That’s why I wrote it, because I figured they were closer to you and knew your preferred name? And because they were the first to comment, so I assumed it was right. Silly I know…. I guess I can’t always believe what I read 🤭 There is another blogger named Priya on WordPress so I’m guessing that they’re probably confusing you with her. Small world, nonetheless!
Haha yeah it does get confusing there are so many bloggers with similar names!
Haha yep! I get Serene Luna a lot but it’s actually one word: Sereneluna. People like to call me Serena Luna (Serena is the spanish translation after doing some research) and they also like to address me as Hillary with 2L’s like Hillary Clinton spelling.
Lol names are so complicated sometimes!
Congratulations !
I need a suggestion from you, I’m unable to categorise myself as which category I fall in.
If u could go through my blog and help me out..
Thanks 😊
Thanks! Categories are really not as important as tags!
Congrats Pooja!
Thank you!
Your welcome.. Do check my page and recent blog !
How beautiful advice you have given! thanks for it . Can I write this award post considering as a you nominee?
Yeah for sure!
Thanks, have you published my post?
