Blogger Interview #1: Jemma

Every since I started blogging, I've met a lot of bloggers. There are so many wonderful blogs out, but with this big blogging community not a lot of people know some blogs exist. So I have decided to start a series on my blog called Blogger Interviews. I will be interviewing bloggers who inspire me, who are new to blogging, and just because I think this will be a fun experience!
So here's my first interview. I think this one is perfect to start off my series! Jemma blogs at dorkface.co.uk She is one of my favorite bloggers out here. Not only is she a great blogger, but she is a nice person as well. So keep reading, if you want to know a little more about her! 
 
 


 
1. How long have you been blogging?

Just over 1 year, I started March 2014 :)
 
2. What inspired you to start a blog?

I spent my time reading so many and I finally decided to start one and stick to it; Which I'm so glad I did!
 
3. What goals do you have for yourself and your blog?

I'd like my blog to help me grow in terms of my career. I'd like to be self employed through working in social media, selling my artwork, and running my blog :)
 
4. Where do you see your blog in the next year?

Hopefully it will have continued to grow, maybe even reached 3000 followers?! Who knows. I'd love it if my blog is was an inspiring place for people to visit.
 
5. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

Maybe moved to another city, or country! I'd like to buy a home and be married to my boyfriend, who I live with. I'd like to have finished writing my book, and working for myself. But I definitely still see me being creative :)
 
6. What have you learned since you started blogging?

To be yourself! Everyone's quirks and unique traits are very welcomed in the blogging world, and it makes you more relatable! Also never underestimate the power of helping someone and being nice - it could make a huge difference.
 
7. What are the positives and negatives of blogging?

Positives - Staying creative, finding purpose, making new friends, discovering a whole community, going to events, inspiring others.
Negatives- ... Hmm.. Keeping up sometimes is hard. You have to stay on track I think.
 
8. Would you want to turn this hobby into a career in the future?

I'm already in the process! :)
 
9. Are you influenced by other bloggers?

Of course! There's a whole world of people out there and bloggers help me get to know different races, ages, genders, cultures and hobbies! It opens my eyes and always inspires me :)
 
10. Has blogging changed you? (Have you made any friends or experienced new things)

Definitely! I am SO different to who I was just over a year ago. I am so much more positive, determined and brave! I've made close blogging friends, I've changed my career and I've found my purpose. I am so much happier now, and a very positive person. I never used to be like this :)
 
Thank you so much Jemma for letting me interview you! I hope you all enjoyed reading this post!

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too.   Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

Is there a guide to blogging?

It's been 3 months since I started blogging and I already have 57 followers and I am so grateful and thankful. In a million years I would have never imagined being a blogger. But sometimes I do not feel like one. I mean I know being a successful and known blogger doesn't happen overnight, but sometimes I get discouraged. I have always been someone who is cautious and worries about what people think, so sometimes I feel no one will like what I post. I also feel like, because I am not a well known blogger no one will take the time and give me a chance. I am just being myself, is there something wrong with that? So I started feeling lost and I didn't know what to do; then I thought "Is there a guide to blogging?". Not only did I have these thoughts, but I was also thinking that there are so many wonderful bloggers (beauty, fashion, and lifestyle), so who would even notice my blog. So is there a book to teach people how to blog or am I just overreacting? Sometim...

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

  At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means.  During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no ...
