I recently took an online blogging course to help me learn the nuances of Content 101. You can find out more about it here. The most important thing I took away from this course was building a content calendar which, I've successfully done throughout the end of this year. Here are a few changes that will be happening in the next few months:
- Sponsor Spotlight - Every Tuesday, I will highlight a new sponsor
- Advertising - In an effort to gain maximum exposure for my sponsors, I now pay for monthly advertising on other high traffic blogs. NOTE: I will only advertise on sites that support the environment of my blog.
- Product Reviews - Every Thursday, I will do a review of a product I'm using. (These reviews are my own opinion & I am not getting paid. I will always disclose paid reviews & sponsored posts.)
- Link Ups - Due to new & exciting content that I want to start sharing, my regular link-ups Smell the Roses, Oh How Pinteresting!, Simple Pleasures, H54F, etc. will now be scheduled during the second week of every month.
- Giveaways - Beginning in July, there will be a new giveaway every first Monday of the month.
I'm really excited for the blog to take off in a new direction & if there is something more or less you would like to see, shoot me an email! I'm always up for suggestions.
Now onto H54F! I've been into themes a lot lately & so this week I'm going to go the same route. SOO... here are my TOP 5 FAVORITE NEW BLOGS.
one. // Living in Yellow - there's only one word I can use to describe what I love about this blog - ERIN. I secretly want to meet her. Shhhh.
two. // C Squared W - Clare lives on a Caribbean island with her husband whose going to medical school. Is anyone else totally jealous of this? Either way, I can't wait to get to know her better.
three. // The Lifestyle Guide - Landi is a girl after my own heart. Sweetest Southern belle studying interior design & enjoying life to the fullest. What's not to love about that?
four. // Hart to Heart - I met Leigh-Anne through a fitness challenge that I'm participating in & I've really come to admire her. She's gorgeous & a great fitness inspiration!
five. // EleventhGorgeous - Ok... so I'm super late on Tracy & Stefanie. I ride the short bus - don't judge. I've been online all day watching their videos. Too cute these gals. Just wish I'd have come across them sooner. Better late than never I s'pose!
So there you have it! I hope you enjoy my newfound fav blogs, as well as your weekend!
