A Blogventure - Blogspiration

So I know I'm not a 'big blogger' and I don't know a lot about blogging but what I do know is that when I started out (and even now) I admired other bloggers. I admired everything from their designs to their photography, their content to their impact via social media and I wanted to be like them. Obviously these bloggers were established and busy so they didn't have time to reply to every just-starting-out blogger and from there, the idea for Blogspiration grew.

What if there was a website full of tips, tricks and how-to's by bloggers for bloggers?

A lot of bloggers write how-to posts, tips for blogging and so on but by the time someone new follows you those are buried deep in the archives. So what if that content was on one website? There'd be tags with specifics but they were there, ready and waiting to be read by anyone - new or established - for instant tips, guidance and inspiration?

There's not much competition here - there's so much with experts who contribute to websites specialising in digital marketing etc but nothing truly dedicated to the fashion, beauty and lifestyle blogging world that is growing and becoming more and more branded so very rapidly.

This is where Blogspiration comes in. Here we'll have contributors who will post articles on everything from making the most out of phone photography to the basics of SEO and domain registration. There'll be inspiration pieces with ideas for new content for your own website and bloggers will be sharing their own tips directly with you. Here, you will be an equal looking for information rather than simply a reader. You can put your own spin on advice, try the things recommended, use the prompts and ideas for your own blog and we can be more of a community.

I've been hesitant about starting such a venture but after talking to a few of you on Twitter yesterday afternoon I decided to go for it and the response has been much more than I expected. Followers on Twitter, likes on Facebook, emails through about contributing to the site already and I am truly thankful because without you this couldn't happen.

As of right now the website is under construction but if you'd like to contribute with an article you can email ellablogspiration@gmail.com and follow on both Facebook and Twitter.

  7. Bloody amazing idea Ella! I'm forever googling 'How to ... on my blog?" so this will come in so handy. I think a lot of people get put off and made to feel bad or left out because they don't know to do certain things, so this will be perfect! xx
