How to Be a Successful Blogger {Guest Post}

Posted on the 11 February 2014 by Lifeofasportswife @jessaolson
As you know, the hubs and I are traveling across the country to our new home (that we don't have yet) in West Virginia. I have asked some of my amazing sponsors to fill in for me while I am gone. Today is a blogger that I have the amazing Erica from Erica Jacquline. So instead of going on and on. I'll let her take over. 
Hello Life of a Sport's Wife readers!  I am Erica and I blog over at Erica Jacquline.  My goal in blogging is to live an joyful life and write about it for others to enjoy and be encouraged to find joy in their lives too.
How to be a Successful Blogger {Guest Post}

One of the things I love blogging about is blogging.  It is so silly and so blogger specific.  I think one of the things I love to do most when I blog about blogging is to poke a little fun at the whole thing and myself while I am at it.  So here are my top ways to grow your blog.  Follow my advice and I know you will be able to become "blog famous."  That is not a guarantee by the way! 

Take a DSLR photo of yourself 

This does not mean take a lot of photos with a DSLR camera, or even buy a DSLR camera.  All you need to do is take a photo of yourself holding a DSLR camera.  Borrow one from your uncle, neighbor, or Best Buy take a photo and slap that bad boy on every social media outlet you have.  Let the world know you were in the presence of a DSLR camera, thus legitimizing your blog.

Get a Dog 
This one will be a little harder to fake.  Sure you can take a photo with a friend's dog now and then but if you do not post pictures of your fur baby at least twice a day none of us professional bloggers will believe you.  This will probably be the largest investment you can make for your blog.  So far Penny has cost me 16 crap loads (that is an exact figure.)   But the joy she brings me when I get 20 likes on Instagram is irreplaceable.

Get in a relationship I have been told I am too picky when it comes to dating.  Once I lowered my standards and just dated people to have blog material I became much more relatable and open.  Instead of looking for my Thor-like man to hold me in his incredibly buff arms I can date guys who play Playstation hockey and then tell you they are pretty my Thor or a NHL player and you ÷don't even know the difference.
Write about blogging Blogger cannot get enough of blogging.  I mean it is like our black tar heroin, I am not even sure if that is a thing i just heard about it once on the street. I am telling you my posts about blogging are my most viewed posts.  For example Things This Blogger has Yet to Say and Best Blogs To Sponsor.  Now this post will be up there with the huge posts about blogging in the past.

I hope you come over to Erica Jacquline and say hello.  You can also find me at Bloglovin - Twitter - Instagram - Facebook - Pinterest
