Heyyyy, today is Presiii’s birthday. Let me just say, it has been a crazy good year! Today make it a year since I launched this lifestyle and health blog; so Happy Blogiversary to Presiii. Looking back, I was at work pretty much all day on December 31st but my blog coach encouraged that I launch it before 2018 and I went for it since I got about everything under control at the time.
My blog has evolved day by day, even though it can be a challenge to stay on top of all social media platforms when I am working 20-30+ hours overtime a week. Anyway, I first thought about blogging in 2016. I have watched people doing it, I have done my little research but never really got the gut to start or not knowing exactly where to start. I even took quite a few headshots and fun pictures for my ”potential blog” but never started until I saw a Facebook post from iam.priiincesss.com last year saying ” you spend times on social media anyway, why not do something beneficial”! That was it…! Couple weeks later, iampriiincesss also shared a post about Blog 101 and I jumped right to it; had my virtual meeting with her and followed all the steps until the blog was ready by December 31st, 2017
Fast forward a year later; I still have a lot of learning to do, I also have an intense position at work and barely have time but I make it work. My first aha moment was increasing my Pinterest from 700 to 18.9k monthly views and reaching about up to 2k/monthly from the blog Facebook page. My goal for the upcoming year is to monetize this blog in any way possible and I am super excited. Overall, this space is where I write about lifestyle, health, and inspirational stories; pretty much everything that comes with these categories and I hope this is a genuine source of inspiration for you. This is a forum I share my (now) love of writing because it was impossible for me to write over a thousand words just for fun, and my love of meeting new people of course.
Now talking about the love of meeting new people; I have had the chance to interview or collab with some awesome individuals for the blog. They are part of my growth because they were willing to do our Q&As, do guest posts or participate in any ways possible without hesitation. For that, I have reshared all the collabs from the blog throughout the month of December. However, if you missed any of them, the links are just right below as well as a video of them.

HAPPY BLOGVERSARY MY LOVE! GIRL, YOU’RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I just started a blog a few days ago and I’m lost and unsure of what I’m doing. It is nice to hear about your experience and how far you have come. I am still nervous about it and a little overwhelmed with how to do it. I thought I would just write and BOOM, that was it. I’m still learning about the Pinterest part and everything else. I look forward to reading more of your blogs.
Heyyy Judy. You will do good, my dear. put aside 2 to 3 hours to draft your ideas. Pinterest is a good place to find inspiration, I also try to think of the everyday things that I do and how I can incorporate them into my blog. Instagram is also a place to find what is trending based on your niche. once you put a couple hours per week; it will become a habit.
Nice work on your blog! I know it’s not always easy but the rewards is so worth it!
Your blog has very unique information for unique topic which you have written. thanks for sharing with us good information.
Happy 1 Year for your blog! It definitely is something that takes time and dedication. I, myself, am guilty of going full force, then leaving it dry for a few months. I always wonder where it could be had I just stuck with it through those dry patches. I also have a goal to monetize beyond a few pennies in 2019. Good luck with your goals! You can do it!
Happy birthday! What a great accomplishment to fulfill a dream and reach a goal! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for sharing all your collabs! Your site definitely looks like it is ready for monetization! Hope you have a great New Year!
