I struggle as a Blogger

Even though I hate to admit it I struggle as a Blogger a lot. Don’t get me wrong as I love my blog and I have learned so much through the years. But there are times when I just do not know how to do something. Or do not have the time to do it. So I sit and worry about what needs to be done.

I think back to Homeschooling Charlie when he is struggling and frustrated and I tell him to walk away and Pray. So I have been trying to do more of that as I go along. Because I know God knows my needs and wants. if I stop and listen he will help me. Even though it may not be what I wanted. God will make sure it is the best for our family.

As I was working last week on the Valentines Day Giveaways I was struggling with how to get them seen. Along with how to get them posted in new places so I searched on Facebook for Blogger Giveaway Groups. When I came across a couple new groups and inside one of the groups a lady by the name of Thaleia Maher posted that she would link up Giveaways on Facebook for a nominal fee.  I reached out to Thaleia Maher and she also let me know she links up on Linkys as well.

I asked David over the weekend if I could use Thaleia Maher services on the Giveaways as they weren’t doing as well as I hoped. David said yes, I could. I paid Thaleia Maher earlier today and in no time at all, she emailed me back to let me know she had the Giveaways posted. Then was kind enough to give me tips on ways to get the Giveaways seen more. Along with new ways to post them on Twitter.

Thaleia Maher let me know about PicMonkey and designing a college for the Giveaways. What I didn’t know was she will make them for you. So the next time I have an event I will contact Thaleia Maher to see if she is available and has time in her schedule to create the items I need. Since I wasn’t sure what to create a college like Thaleia suggested she went ahead and made a beautiful collage for me.  I was floored as I didn’t expect someone to do something like that for me.

Yes, I do use Elle Emme from LM Solutions for a lot of things I do. She does different things than Thaleia so I plan on using both in the future. To see what all  Elle Emme does you can check out her services at LM Solutions. I would also like to recommend Thaleia Maher for linking up any Giveaways you host.

one of the things I have learned from other bloggers is to work harder not smarter. If you’re struggling ask questions and hire someone to help you with the small task so you can continue to move forward. I know through the services  Elle Emme from LM Solutions and Thaleia Maher create that I can only grow and become a much better blogger. Which will allow me to help you all out?

Let me share something else with you about Thaleia Maher is a Homeschooling Mom/ Blogger and also Frugal so there is so much we can learn from her. Her blog has become my go-to place when I have questions about Homeschooling Charlie. Her website has helped my family out a lot.

So even though I hate to admit it I struggle I do admit I struggle a lot as a blogger but I am looking for ways to stop the struggling. So I would like to know if you do as well. If so what do you struggle with? How are you able to fix the problems? Is there something you can recommend I should check out as I really do want to grow.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
