It can definitely be a struggle. I literally just had a company reach out to me and they want me to include X,Y, and Z into my post but with no compensation. *insert angry emoji* I do agree with you though that things need to change. It is difficult to know if and when to draw the line because there is no 'guidebook' as to what to ask for when it comes to those things. I do agree with Lisa. Whenever I get down on myself I remember why I started and why I love to blog in the first place! I love looking at my followers/fellow bloggers as friends as well. Maybe we can link up some time!<br />As always, XO and Stay FAB! ~ StormieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07517536984333333076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943322548086722905.post-54515420673546786042016-08-09T11:55:48.312-04:002016-08-09T11:55:48.312-04:00Hi Lisa, I appreciate your passion!

I know it can be disheartening if no one reads your posts but just remember it's all about if you love doing it or not. Just to be clear, what I mentioned someone stole from me was not an outfit, it was a lifestyle post that I wrote.

I think one of the most important things ...Hello!!!<br />I think one of the most important things about blogging (for me) is to really think about why I'm blogging in the first place. Yes, when I decided I wanted to see where it could take me and the brands collab that could potentially happen (because I figured since I'm already putting in this much "work" - might as well see if I can monetize in the process) I did start looking at my numbers (and they weren't/aren't good!) and that made me feel down, so I'm TRYING not to look at that as much and focus on why I blog to begin with! <br /><br />Also I think it's so important to support genuine, friendly and down-to-earth bloggers, because I feel like so many big and well-known bloggers forget about where they started and their readers. I don't want to be negative, but don't even get me started on some of the big bloggers out there who are completely "full of themselves". Big bloggers I've followed and admired who I had to un-follow and not support because of the crazy things they've said! Ranting about someone "copying" their outfit - CRAZY!!! If you don't want someone to "copy" your outfit, why are you blogging about it, sharing it, and including the links on where you got pieces of the outfit!?!? And who's to say you "copied" their outfit - it's FASHION! Looks are re-created and re-styled ALL THE TIME! Anyways, that's just me, and I'm learning that despite the negative sides of blogging, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and for that - I continue to blog!<br /><br />(One of the most heated comments I've ever left on a blog, will probably never happen again) ;)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Lisa<br />www.theeverydayelevated.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223661253357921928noreply@blogger.com
