Blissful Blogging 101: Share Your Ideas and Passions Through Blogging

Blissful Blogging 101: Share Your Ideas and Passions Through Blogging

 

There are a lot of  women out there who are eager to share their experiences through blogging, but just don’t know which aspect to begin with or which route to take.

I’ve been blogging for quite some time now and I can say that I still have a lot to learn from this hobby. I usually blog about activities that I like, places that I’ve visited, or events that I’ve attended. I can say that my blog is like a public diary of not-so-personal stuff about myself. 

It was thrilling when Mariel and I were invited to attend Martine de Luna’s Blissful Blogging Workshop. I knew we were in for an afternoon of fun and productive learning about blogging essentials.

I loved how diverse our group was that afternoon. We had home-based moms, teachers who wanted to start a blog, a too-cute mother-daughter tandem, women who enjoy reading blogs and finally took the first step in conceptualizing their own, women who just write in their personal journals and are now ready to share their thoughts with the world (wide web). At different stages of our blogging lives, we learned from each other in different ways.

Martine discussed how we can determine what type of blogs we want to start and who we want to reach out to. She was very approachable and I loved how she explained points in the workshop based on her own practices. It made the topics more tangible for me and made me think, “Hey, if she did it, so can I!”

We had a couple of group activities to get to know the other women in the workshop. There was so much potential in that room and because of this workshop, I’m sure 23 great blogs will be launched soon. Watch out for them, Philippine blog-o-sphere!

On a side note, we had a yummy lunch by Hungry Juan and got vanilla hand sanitizers from A Vanilla Story, which smell so nice.

Here are some of the inspiring and useful quotations by Martine de Luna that I took note of. I hope they inspire you, as well:

“When you plan blogs, you should plan content.” 

“Living a purposeful life is not original, but I am a voice that tells people how to do it.”

“A blog is a way to communicate to people like you.”

“Community occurs when repeat blog readers become brand ambassadors for you because of how you’ve filled their need.”
