Blogging Checklist: Viral Posts

Have you ever had a post that has gone viral, but you’ve been unprepared for it? It doesn’t mean that your post wasn’t worthy of virality, but that some of your associated social media or links weren’t quite up to scratch. Here is my checklist for making sure as much as possible is in tip-top […]

I dont WANNA!

Posted on May 23, 2014June 30, 2017by Vanessa Smith
i dont wanna write!

I just haven’t felt like writing this week. I’m tired, plain and simple. I’m trying to get into a better sleeping habit as well, because I think that’s contributing to my tiredness.   I sit down and think about writing for this blog, and this is what goes through my head: “I don’t wanna!” This […]

Why Its OK To Blog Everyday

It’s the thing I  hate reading the most on the internet.   Quality Over Quantity   Oh, snore! If I want to blog every day, then I will blog every day!! It’s one of those pieces of ‘advice’ that people love giving out. And if, GASP, you willingly admit somewhere on the internet that you […]

Top Tips For Pinterest

Posted on May 9, 2014July 7, 2019by Vanessa Smith
Top Tips For Pinterest (With heaps of links to other resources!)

A few conversations on twitter have led me to believe I may know something about Pinterest. Not much, mind you, but something. Also, I’m going to totally use this as an opportunity to brag (again) that I was featured on Pinterest because that’s kind of like winning a competition and I never win things.  So […]

Blogging Is Awesome

Posted on April 27, 2014June 30, 2017by Vanessa Smith
blogging is awesome - what makes you love blogging?

I had meant to go out to the markets this morning for a wander. Instead I ended up lying in bed, playing on Pinterest and generally doing nothing. In fact, I only go out of bed because my iPad battery was down to 3%.   (I know, first world problems, right?)   Zoning out…relaxing…whatever you […]

Before Blogging

Before Blogging: What Challenges Did You Overcome To Start Your Blog?

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a time before blogging. There has been some discussion around the internet lately about how and why people started their blogs. My journey to blogging isn’t that clear.   I really can’t remember why or how I started – I’ve been writing online in one way or another for about […]

Brilliance: Writing, Blogging and Life

Yesterday, I noticed some traffic coming onto my blog from Kidspot. I thought that was a bit odd, as I don’t generally read the site much (seeing as it’s largely parenting and I’m not a parent, though I do frequently act like a child). It turns out I had been nominated for Voices of 2014 […]

Can You Really Work There?

Posted on April 15, 2014June 30, 2017by Vanessa Smith
Can You Really Work There? A discussion about where bloggers are located in Australia.

Australia has always been a country where the main spheres of industry have been in Sydney or Melbourne. Sure, big companies often have offices in other cities, but the events, the networking – it’s mostly in Sydney or Melbourne.     With the amount of people working remotely from their office or only online, there […]

Commenting On Old Blog Posts

Posted on March 15, 2014June 30, 2017by Vanessa Smith

If I find a  blog I like, or I  visit one I haven’t been to in a while, I end up trawling the archives & related post widgets for a while.   But then when it comes to leaving a comment, I have these thoughts “it’s creepy to leave a comment on a blog post […]

Planning Ahead

Posted on March 3, 2014June 30, 2017by Vanessa Smith
Planning Ahead

As Friday was my last day at the place I’ve been working for the past two years, I’ve been a bit unsure about how to use my ‘free’ time. None of my projects/businesses/blogs are anywhere near a full time income (though I have many plans) so it is still rabbit job hunting season for me. […]
