Advice in the Blogging Sphere: Good Tips or Misleading Guidance?

This is something I’ve been thinking for a while but how often do we come across tips & advices in the blogging community in terms of makeup, style, relationships, friendships, blog growth, etc. and how often do we feel them to be applicable?

As a blogger who writes about my own personal experiences and lessons I’ve learnt along the way, I am mindful about the information I write and make sure that it is both objective & subjective in the sense I know it worked for me and has the possibility to work for another person but at the same time I’m very aware that it totally depends on each person’s circumstance and their own personality & way of living so it has the possibility not to work either.

With that said, I also like to read other bloggers’ tips & advices and some of them have helped me reflect on myself and on the things I’ve been doing whether it be on my blog or in my personal life. However, I do know that when there is an abundance of advice – it can be very overwhelming and difficult to figure out what to do especially if it’s something that you aren’t really sure about.

In today’s post, I wanted to share with you some ways on figuring out what to do if you come across advices in the blogging sphere that seem to work for every single person and not for you or simply advices that don’t seem to align with your way of thinking and you can’t help feeling unsure if they would truly work for you. As always, if you are interested – keep on reading!

C’est une question à laquelle je réfléchis depuis un moment, mais à quelle fréquence rencontrons-nous des conseils et astuces dans la communauté des blogueurs en termes de maquillage, de style, de relations, d’amitié, de développement de blog, etc. et à quelle fréquence pensons-nous qu’ils sont applicables ?

En tant que blogueuse qui écrit sur mes propres expériences personnelles et les leçons que j’ai apprises en cours de route, je suis consciente des informations que j’écris et je m’assure qu’elles sont à la fois objectives et subjectives dans le sens où je sais que cela a fonctionné pour moi et qu’il est possible que cela fonctionne pour une autre personne, mais en même temps, je suis très consciente que cela dépend totalement des circonstances de chaque personne, de sa propre personnalité et de son mode de vie, donc il est possible que cela ne fonctionne pas non plus.

Cela dit, j’aime aussi lire les conseils et astuces d’autres blogueurs et certains d’entre eux m’ont aidée à réfléchir sur moi-même et sur les choses que j’ai faites, que ce soit sur mon blog ou dans ma vie personnelle. Cependant, je sais que lorsqu’il y a une abondance de conseils, il peut être très difficile de savoir quoi faire, surtout si vous n’êtes pas vraiment sûr de ce que vous faites.

Dans l’article d’aujourd’hui, je voulais partager avec vous quelques moyens de savoir quoi faire si vous tombez sur des conseils dans le domaine du blogging qui semblent fonctionner pour tout le monde et pas pour vous ou simplement des conseils qui ne semblent pas correspondre à votre façon de penser et vous ne pouvez pas vous empêcher de vous demander s’ils fonctionneront vraiment pour vous. Comme toujours, si cela vous intéresse, continuez à lire !

IS IT CATERED FOR YOU SPECIFICALLY OR FOR ANYONE?

One of the biggest things that helped me curate all the advices & tips in the blogging sphere is by taking into consideration whether those posts were written for someone like me or for anyone in general. For instance, when it comes to blogging advice – are those tips applicable for my niche or for any niche in general? Are those tips meant for a small blog or for a blog with a large audience?

Sometimes, the reason why those advices don’t work isn’t because you are doing something wrong, it’s simply because those things don’t work in your case and there is no reason to push yourself doing these things if they really don’t work for you.

IS IT SUBJECTIVE OR OBJECTIVE?

Another thing that really helped me sort through all those articles in terms of tips is knowing whether those information were written from experience or by compiling experiences from others. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying any blogger shouldn’t write any tips from a general standpoint but if you are thinking about applying those tips into your life or blog then it’s important to acknowledge whether it was written from a subjective or objective perspective.

DOES IT HELP YOU IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM?

Last but not least, before feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated and overworked by those types of posts – ask yourself if those posts have the potential to help you in any shape or form? Not every advice you read needs to be taken into consideration, not everything you read might work for you, not everything you read should be taken seriously and vice versa.

A blogger in the same boat as you might write something helpful but it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will work for you. Always read everything you read online with a grain of salt including my blog as well. At the end of the day, you are the only one who knows what’s best for you.
