Confessions of a blogger

Boy did you hit the nail on the head. It is just like high school sometimes. Someone is always cheating

Wow, the part about using vulgar language I can relate to. I’ve been thinking about that the past few days whether or not I should edit my last few posts because I do use cursing and I thought I was not on the ridiculous level I would definitely clean it up on a sponsored or guest post.

Girl- no lies were told. You hit the nail on the head with this one. I always hated It when bloggers suggest starting a blog of you are looking for a flexible part time job. Like you said, you can make money blogging but it can take years!

And it’s definitely like high school. I dont fit it in with anyone and that’s ok. Most bloggers don’t even know who I am. I trust my voice and that’s all that matters. Others will trust my voice too.

Love this post. I’ve been blogging for almost 3 years and I’m in the process of revamping my page in the near future. I’ve been following you since your recent Mommy Confessions with That Chick Angel. I enjoy your blog & Kita in the Dark on IG. Love hearing the thoughts of a seasoned blogger.

Love this post Kita. I never thought of it like that, but you are right, it is like high school. Thanks for coming to the meetup. It was great meeting you! I hope you will come to future ones.

I’m so oblivious. Guess that proves I’m not one of the popular bloggers! That’s ok, I am fine with where I am. I haven’t heard anyone hating on me but if I would, I’d block them.

So much truth here Kita. But I think my favorite point is that you now just blog for yourself. I’ve tried many courses, workshops, conferences and always come right back to that truth.

“The blogging world is just like high school” That is so true! I love blogging and been doing it for more than 10 years now.

Thank you for being honest. I have been really wondering how people have been making money off blogging. I don’t know alot of bloggers either. I did meet a blogger in New Orleans who had way more followers than me. She was nice and we talked and took pictures. I have to do better at meetups.

You are so right the blogging world is full of cliques! Keeping it real ‘m a broke introvert that lives in a state that has meet-ups in expensive restaurants.. and finding another person of color blogging is like finding a needle in a haystack. I don’t know anyone in my city, but know bloggers everywhere else thanks to social media. Anyway I’m almost 2 years in and will I continue blogging. I have to express my feelings and be heard by others. Hopefully networking will come at some point.

I’ve been to one meet up about 3 years ago. It was fun, and exciting to meet other’s who do blog in my area. We still stay in touch to this day. I also have to agree with you on the ‘high school’ part.

I LOVE this post. I’ve also found over time, those bragging the most about their income aren’t being truthful. Some are – but most don’t make near what they claim. Each headline you posted I was nodding my head and wanted to clap! Thank you!

Absolutely love this post! Don’t trust anything we see online, especially those who offer to teach people to make 6 figures income. If they do make that much amount of money, they won’t have time selling and putting ads, asking people to purchase their courses.

This is all so true. The high school nonsense is beyond frustrating at times. Most of us are in this for our families and I wish we’d support each other more often.

The blogging world is like high school. Beauty Blogging, which is where I first started was CRAZY! You’re right, don’t compare yourself to others because you don’t know how they got there. I think that one should just focus on themselves, find their tribe and stick with them.

Love your confessions! It’s great that you are starting to network more! I’ve been trying to do more networking myself. Keep up the great work!

A great read as always Kita! I totally agree with everything you said here. The little bit jealously that I’ve encountered is mind boggling. Makes no sense. But then again jealousy is not a logical emotion.

Yes, blogging can totally be like high school. Also, it’s definitely more about who you know when it comes to getting blog opps. When I first started blogging, I wasn’t getting a thing, but then I joined this local blogging group of bloggers that were more well known. They invited me to a few brand outings as their plus one and then I started seeing PR opps coming into my inbox.

Also, speaking of sponsored opps. They look more fun from the outside in than they are sometimes. Some brands can be a little too hands-on and stifle your creativity when working on a campaign. I’ve brands leave a bad taste in my mouth. Like if you didn’t want me to present/share your product or service in my unique voice, why did you reach out to me?
