Getting Started By Overcoming Your Fears

Blogging 101

As someone who has been blogging off and on for the last couple of years I could never learn enough about this craft to even pretend to be an expert but that’s not going to stop me from offering help and advice to those who want to try it.

don't let fear stop you

It’s okay to be scared.

One of the biggest hurdles to overcome is the fear factor.  Yes, it is scary to put yourself out there for the whole world to judge you.  What if no one visits my blog?  What if my content doesn’t appeal to anyone?  Where do I even start?  How much money will I have to spend?  These are questions that I’ve asked myself and I’m sure many other bloggers  have asked themselves.  But it’s okay.  It’s okay to be scared.  And it’s okay to be unsure.  Don’t let that fear keep you from starting your dream blog.

don't let fear stop you

I let my fear keep me from starting this very blog for over a year.  While I regret the time I lost I’m glad I finally bit the bullet and eventually did start it.  I know that may be exactly where you are so I’m going to use this category not only to tell you everything I’ve learned but also to give you inspiration.  You CAN do this!

Instagram post 2199096645732047290_7325822474 A little ice skating with the fam tonight.  It's been at least a year since we've gone but it didn't take too long to get the hang of it again.  And they're playing Christmas music so that makes it even better!❤️ #blogger #thecraftymiddlesister #lifestyleblog #crafter #diy #gardening #savingmoney #easyrecipes #favoriteproducts
Instagram post 2198029067236549299_7325822474 Some more pics of my Santa mug collection.  The little ones are plastic but I still like them as much as my ceramic ones and would snag them up if I were to find more.  I display the majority of my mugs and Santas in general in my dining room/kitchen.  This Santa is one I made probably 15 years ago or more.  I think he's adorable but I may be a little biased because of that, lol. 🎅
One thing I started doing a couple of years ago is decorating rooms by theme.  It helps take some of the guesswork out of decorating.  I know the Santas go in the dining room and kitchen, snowmen in the living room and this year gingerbread men in the guest bath.  So do you decorate rooms by theme? 🎅⛄🎄 #blogger #comfortabledecorstyle #comfyhome #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #countrystyle #countryhomedecor #vintagestyledecor #vintagehomedecor #vintagehomestyle #antiquehomedecor #decoratingwithantiques #iloveoldthings #diyhomedecor #manufacturedhomeremodel #mobilehomeliving #mobilehomeremodel #thecraftymiddlesister #mobilemakeover #homemakeover #diy #diydecor #diymakeover #christmascrafts #christmasdecor

I love these snowmen and made a different version each year for a couple of years when I was doing craft shows.  Snowmen are a popular collectable.  Do you collect them?  When was the last time you made a real snowman!? #crafting #crafter #fabriccrafter #craftpaint #craftygirl #diy #diyhomedecor #diydecor #comfortabledesignstyle #cozydesignstyle #farmhousedecor #comfydecor #countrydecor #countrydesign #blogger #craftblogger #craftingwithpaint #craftingwithfabric #craftingboss #paintingfun
