Mistakes in Blogging – A Canadian Blogger Q+A

Feb 02

Mistakes We've Made Blogging

One of my favourite parts of blogging is getting together with some of the amazing bloggers I’ve met over the years. Four of us (Christina from The DIY Mommy, Lindi from Love Create Celebrate and Jo-Anna from A Pretty Life) got together this past fall in Jasper to talk shop and get some work done and decided that we’d film a little series of videos for you again.

Today I’m excited to team up with some of my fave Canadian Blogger friends to chat all about blogging! We each are sharing a video addressing one topic we get asked about and this one is us talking ‘the mistakes I have made in blogging’ and the hardest part of this video wasn’t admitting them but narrowing it down to our one to share for each of us. This is a game of trial and error and self teaching and while we all have found our own success in different ways and on different scales, we all have made mistakes getting here (and are still making mistakes). We think there’s so much value in opening up and chatting authentically not only about the good parts of blogging (see some of the other videos!) but the hiccups too.

YouTube video

Alright, I SO hope that you enjoyed this video! If you did, you should hop over and find more of our videos in the playlist of this series! There’s now EIGHT of them. Everything from making money blogging to unexpected benefits and things we wish we knew before we started. You can find them all RIGHT HERE.

In this video, we chat further about these four mistakes we’ve all made

  1. The Comparison Game
  2. Going TOO Big
  3. Not Getting it in Writing
  4. Taking on Too Much

I think we ALL have done all of these things. We also talk a little bit about being workaholics and balance. But that would be a whole video of it’s own! If you’re a blogger… what mistakes have you made?
