Luckily, I loved it! I'm not a massive fan of taking photos (to be honest, that's because I'm rubbish at it) but as that is a pretty small part of it, I can live with that. #thelist<br />DebbieRandom Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298522848171348845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3784725009975027840.post-49766754461997304412015-09-04T20:35:37.657+01:002015-09-04T20:35:37.657+01:00I totally agree!

I had to spend my time researching, reviewing, writing, promoting etc.. and that comes at a cost. I am so terrible for the imagination thing too; when I have time to blog, I can't think of anything and then when I have thought of something, I don't have the time! Time to get a blogging diary and my notepad out! #binkylinky x Jade - Raising the Ringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885629932624433388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3784725009975027840.post-24689624513745378742015-09-04T16:03:04.486+01:002015-09-04T16:03:04.486+01:00If I ever feel like the passion is lacking, I take...If I ever feel like the passion is lacking, I take a break for a few days.

So many people I know have started blogging thinking it's easy only to give up a week or so later after they realise how hard it is and how much time it is. It takes a good while to build up followers, readers and to gain the stats needed too. Thanks for writing this post, very informative to those thinking about starting a blog.

It is a lot of work and you can't do it unless you really love it. I agree on the freethings bit as well - I absolutely hate it when people refer to review items as freebies. Um no, I spend time on reviewing it, taking pics, writing, promoting, and on top, I publish it on a ready-made marketing platform (a ka my blog). That most definitely is not a freebie! #brilliantblogpostsSanna Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362746150369804815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3784725009975027840.post-22946337538813661352015-08-27T21:38:41.872+01:002015-08-27T21:38:41.872+01:00I really want to make a success of my blog, but th...I really want to make a success of my blog, but the time commitment is something I struggle with.
