Ask Jess: Top 3 Tips For New Bloggers

Nov 6, 2015

NEWBLOGGERTIPS

 

HAPPY FRIDAY! 

Today’s blog post is going to be a little different than usual, as I typically keep my Blogger McBloggy content strictly to my Ask Jess email list.

However, I’ve been working on SO MANY fun things behind the scenes with a newly launched Ask Jess interface (AND a new amazingly pretty sign up page, because the last one was terrifyingly cluttered!) I wanted to give an update for those who may have missed it the first time around!

 




ABOUT ASK JESS

If you need a refresher, my Ask Jess email list is designed to be like a morning coffee chat with your girlfriend. No judgement, often no makeup (yikes, sorry in advance), no editing–just a straight up conversation where I spill the beans on everything I know about blogging. 

So if you’re a blogger, or even thinking of starting a blog one day, it may spark your interest! I’m certainly no expert, but I’ve learned a lot along the way, and I wanted to create a community where we could all share and help each other, to make the blogging world a less mysterious and scary place! 

So…how does it work? 

Each week (well, pretty much every week, some weeks I pop in with other random tidbits of advice I’m really excited to share) I answer a question submitted by an Ask Jess reader, and then I answer it on video. 

Typically in my grandma pajamas. Or with a wet hair Uncle Jesse mullet. (Cough. You know. Like this week’s episode.) Regardless, there is often simultaneous coffee consumption involved for both you and me (except for as of late, because my coffee machine is broken AND I’m out of regular coffee. Fail.) 





Regardless, we have a grand old time. 

 

TODAY’S TOPIC: 

In this week’s episode, I answer a question from reader, Nina, who asks “What are your top tips for bloggers in their first year?” 

What’s the answer? Nope, it’s not focus on growing your Instagram, posting a minimum of 3 times per week, or mastering SEO. It’s actually much simpler than that. 

(Psstt…if you liked this little Friday chat of ours, make sure you sign up for the Ask Jess email list below, after you watch the video!)
