Friend Friday: Bloggers & Self Promotion

This week’s Modly Chic’s Friend Friday topic is on Self-Promotion.

A fellow blogger, Eva of Dressful, recently posted an article entitled, ‘Fashion blogs and self-promotion: How much is too much?’ It’s a quick read, and I definitely recommend checking it out. I haven’t experienced this personally, but a lot of bloggers participating in the 30 for 30 Challenge have reported a significant increase in traffic, but the average time readers spend on their sites has dropped significantly, and the comments have gone from thoughtful words to short, spammy, irrelevant remarks.

Check out my short video where I tackle the following questions:

  1. How do you promote your blog?
  2. In your experience what has been the most effective form of self promotion?
  3. Do you think there is a wrong way to promote yourself and your blog?
  4. When is comes to others pushing their product what annoys you?
  5. “It’s impossible to respect someone who wants all the attention, but adds nothing worthwhile to the conversation.” Do you agree?

Friend Friday: All Natural

I know, I know… it’s Saturday! I was having some technical difficulties on Friday that kept me from posting this video on time.  All I can say is “better late than never!”.   This week’s Modly Chic’s Friend Friday discussion is veering more toward the beauty side of things and talking about the growing trend of going all natural by eliminating shampoos, soaps, deodorant, etc…

In case you missed it, the New York Times recently ran an article entitled The Great Unwashed, that sheds some light on this growing trend. Watch my short, 8-minute video to hear my thoughts on the matter and also get some tips on natural products that I use in my own beauty regimen.

Friend Friday: 10 Random Facts About Me 

Aloha!

This week, we’re keeping things pretty relaxed and informal with Modly Chic’s Friend Friday discussion.   Since my pimple is now officially gone (THANK YOU PROACTIV SOLUTION!), I decided to go ahead and do another video.  This one’s only 5 minutes long, and I’m sharing 10 random facts about myself that I’ve never revealed before on this blog (at least I don’t think I have).

And just because I’m in a sharing mood, here’s a bonus 11th fact: Believe it or not, I’m extremely sarcastic in real life.  I try to reel it in a bit on the blog (actually a lot), but anyone who knows me well know’s that I have a smart mouth.  So there you have it!
