Some of my favorite bloggers and dear blogging friends are here to give you some blogging advice. I asked them a couple questions and here's what they had to say, i hope you can gain some good advice from some of my favorite bloggers!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I asked them: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you had any advice for someone wanting to start a blog what would it be?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">what advice do you have for people wanting to grow their blog? </span></span></div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qE7sGRnfH1E/U4klVj2jJ7I/AAAAAAAABWg/-F_TDDFRZA8/s1600/Kiki-+in+it's+time.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qE7sGRnfH1E/U4klVj2jJ7I/AAAAAAAABWg/-F_TDDFRZA8/s1600/Kiki-+in+it's+time.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://paintchipmadness.blogspot.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Blog</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3800843/paint-chip-madness" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a>' | <a href="https://twitter.com/kiki_initstime" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://instagram.com/kiki_initstime" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">If I had any advice for someone starting a blog, I would say DO IT. It's so easy to live in fear and what if's. And I totally understand why some people would be afraid of starting one. But you'll never know what it's like until you start! Try it out and give it a go, you can always choose to quit later (although, I hope that's not the case!). </span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> In terms of growth, I have to say that being patient and friendly are two key traits for successful bloggers. It sounds lame, but like everything in life, growth takes time. I used to sit and wait for readers and we all know they don't just fall from the trees. So reach out and let your presence be known! Comment on their blogs, start email conversations, go on Skype dates or attend a blogging meet-up. You could call it networking, but I call it community-building. It just sounds better, you know?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">

</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Know why you are starting a blog. Know exactly why, know your purpose. It can be any answer, but now why. Are you blogging as a hobby, wanting to share your thoughts and have a creative outlet? Are you blogging to pursue blogging as a career? Are you blogging just to see where things go? All these questions will help you get started and give you confidence moving forward. Knowing the answers to these questions will determine what you need to do to move forward. If you choose to blog as a career, know that it is not easy and everything you see in other blogs takes a lot of leg work and a lot of drive. Don't give up, keep going, and strive for greatness. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Growing your blog takes innovation. You have to be willing to try to think differently about what is already happening in the blog community. This doesn't mean you don't take advantage of techniques that are currently working. It means you start thinking about them differently, working hard at putting your own mark on them and making them work for you. You have to think creatively, you have to work hard, and you have to reach out. Think about the things you see other bloggers doing that you like. How could you do it differently, how could you make it successful in a new way. Always be open to trying different strategies. The more you experiment the more you will learn what works and what doesn't work. What is successful and what is not. Don't get stuck in things that aren't working. Move on.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My advice would be simple... JUST DO IT! A couple things though... make sure you know your way around simple graphics sites like Picmonkey or Photoshop to create somewhat pretty graphics and headers. Gotta be honest, ugly blogs don't make me want to read them. Harsh. But true. And then write or post WHATEVER YOU WANT! Don't get caught up in the "posting only to gain readers." As a reader, I want to feel like I know YOU (even though I may not in real life) and posting stuff that you love helps get that across!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't be annoying. Ha! Be nice. Treat others as you wish to be treated, meaning promote blogs you like, and hopefully they'll reciprocate. Comment (real comments, not just "hi, check out my blog") on other's blogs and start relationships. Slowly but surely you'll see growth, and if you do it right, it will be consistent growth. </span></span></div>

Don't worry about what other bloggers are doing or how "big" other blogs are. You have to start somewhere. Stay true to yourself, connect with others, and have fun!</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are three things I started down that I believe really contributed to the growth of my blog: writing quality posts, connecting with other bloggers, and posting on a regular basis.

Be encouraged! Every blog has a journey of its own - some blogs start out with millions of followers or some blogs start with 5 friends back at home to comment occasionally... for years... before anyone discovered it (i am the latter!) If you love what you do, you will keep doing it no matter what. perseverance, dedication, and real passion makes a blog worth reading.

If I were on a coffee date with you,I would be sitting in a comfy chair( if there is one) by a window. I would order either a Mocha Frappuccino or a caramel macchiato since those are two of my favorite drinks.<br />
<br />
We would skip the small talk, cause as an introvert i am just not into that. I like the heart to heart talks the best. I would ask How you are doing? And how your family is? Then i Would ask about your summer plans and what God is doing in your life lately.<br />
<br />
I would then tell you about Grad school life and life in VA, I would probably say that Grad school is hard and there were days when I thought to myself "why am i doing this?" but then God reminded that this is where he wants me. I would also talk to you about this season of singleness that I am currently in, and if your a fellow single lady like me, we would bond over our mutual singleness. I would tell you that sometimes it is hard and the comments are sometimes just too much, but overall I know that God has everything figured out and he always meets us right where we are at.<br />
<br />
We would talk for a while and then I would have to go, since homework would probably be calling my name. I would give you a hug and tell you that we must have coffee again because it was so enjoyable, we would probably exchange numbers as well, since i would definitely want to stay in touch with you.<br />
<br />
So tell me, what would you do on a coffee date? Would you like to see more of these posts on the blog?<br />
<br />

For her monthly linkup "The Circle", which has a different theme each month and is all about connecting bloggers together. This months theme is goals, weekly, monthly, etc.<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">So I decided to do some summer goals, since come august i will be busy again with Grad school, although i am taking a couple classes online right now. Anyway, here are some of my summer goals..</span><br />
<br />
+<b>get some more ideas for the redesign of the Quiet Place</b>, which if you don't know that is my other blog/ministry. We are getting the blog redesigned in July, I've got some ideas in the works and i'm excited to see how it turns out.<br />
<br />
+<b>be more intentional with my personal blog</b>. Sometimes this one get's forgotten because well, the Quiet Place is a lot of work. So i would like to post some more on here this summer.<br />
<br />
+<b>Spend more time with God</b>. i must admit i haven't been doing that great of a job at this, so i need to step it up this summer. I am hoping to have some time to soak up his word and journal out my prayers to him.<br />
<br />
+<b>Read blog inc. </b>I recently got this book for my kindle app on my I-pad and i am hoping to get into it this summer. I love reading others posts about blogging, so i can't wait to see what this book has to say about it.<br />
<br />
+<b>Spend time with friends. </b>This summer I am hoping to spend some time with friends i haven't seen in a while, one of my close friends is getting married in November so this summer she will be having her bachelorette and wedding shower, so i am excited to spend time with her and see other friends as well.<br />
<br />

<b>Thank you Netflix</b>, for giving me endless hours of shows to watch, and of course giving me a break from endless amounts of homework.<br />
<br />
<b>thank you coffee</b>, for giving me that extra jolt in the morning, when I need it most.<br />
<br />
<b>thank you chick fila</b>, for being having some good food.<br />
<br />
<b>thank you Pinterest</b> for helping me come up with new things to bake and cook, clearly you know my weakness's all too well.<br />
