Thank you readers! It has been a month since I have started Encouraging Life blog. It’s not my first blog and not the highest achievements I have made so far (PreferHealthyStyle has 1900+ followers) but I feel that this blog is much more successful than PreferHealthyStyle. It’s your passion and hard work that count.
I will of course keep sharing my knowledge and tips about blogging and social media because these are the tools that will bring communication to your readers. Happy reading everyone and thank you for your support!
Congrats with reaching 1 month! Such a huge achievement! You are absolutely right-it’s not all about the success it’s about the passion and the enjoyment you get from it!

Wow, that’s really a lot. I guess I can only dream of this number, but since I’ve been following you, I learned quite a few things about blogging and social media plus more and more follows, likes and comments showed up. So thanks for that and keep up posting these interesting reads… also turtles! :).
BTW, it’s really fun interacting with the audience no matter how many. Having more fun than ever, so I guess that’s also part of your “work” :).

That number isn’t something impossible anyway. I was pessimistic too when starting my blog but it’s your dream and hardwork that makes everything into reality. I am glad that my blog can be an inspiration to you. I am also checking my followers blog too since there is always something that I can learn from them as well.
Interacting with the audience is sure the most fun part 🙂 You can always get something out of it.

I’ll keep that in mind and I’ll think positive :).
However, interacting with the audience can also mean a lot of frustration sometimes. I can’t speak for my blog but another website where readers are just rude (to each other as well) and can’t change their minds/opinions. You know them if you see/read them ;).

Of course. Keep a distance from them 🙂
It also happens a lot when you play online games too, where childish people and kids world of war are all there. Not all people but in most part.

Can’t agree more with that statement and advice :). I used to do the same on the website and ignored the more obvious trolling, and I think gaming and movies are especially prone to that sort of behavior… or actually anything where people get really… into stuff. So everything to be honest, haha 🙂

If you can make use of that momentum it will be great. Sometimes you can turn hatred into something that benefits you.
No hatreds or responses or likes or anything means that your content or anything you made is just not interesting and not eye catching to get any responses.
I have several hatred comments on my Google Play developer account but I don’t care lol
Sometimes I took the opinion as an advice but sometimes I think the person who made the comment is crazy 😀

Quite an interesting approach, will keep that in mind. And yes, there are some craaaaazy internet people around whose sole purpose in life seems to be agreeing to disagree 😉

People like that won’t ever find happiness and just keep arguing and arguing. Maybe their definition of happiness is arguments?

Well put. I don’t know what drives them. I guess it’s just about putting their opinion on everyone, that’s why you can rarely have a decent conversation with them. Not sure about the happiness thing. It’s probably just frustration in real life projected on the internet. Ah, too much psycho babble, but just my two cents ;).

Yes, if you have followed my blog posts up until now, I have shared a few tips about social media and wordpress and counting. http://aboutray.rocks/category/thoughts-tips/wordpress-thoughts-tips/ & http://aboutray.rocks/category/thoughts-tips/social-media-thoughts-tips/
Social media is very important in boosting views and if you have set up wordpress correctly. Other than that you need to be engaged with other readers, it’s like forming a community. Give comments and likes to their articles will attract their attention to your blog sometimes. It needs work at first but once you have gained a lot of followers, it will be a lot easier. You need to retain your followers too.
No special tricks here 😉

Thank you. I have been following to the extent I have time for (busy busy world we live in). I really appreciate the advice. I try to like and comment as much as I can. I will keep that up and try to boost my presence on social media. Right now I just use Facebook and Twitter to spread my posts. Maybe I’ll try some others as well.
Thanks again!

I will also share useful an IFTTT app later to help your busy life 😉
I just tried it 20 mins ago and still learning about plus and minus. It will help you not only automatically post in every social media but also like an assistant robot but it’s not that perfect hahaha.

I love IFTTT! I have been using it for about 4 months now. I use it for everything.
Have you found a way of connecting it to Instagram yet? That has been my stumbling block. I can connect to many social networks but I would love to get IFTTT to post to Instagram for me when I post to WordPress. It seems like you can have it automatically post from Instagram to WordPress but not the other way around.

I have tried that one. It works well. Though, you can do that just as easily from the base functions in the Instagram app. I do love to have options though!
Hopefully one day they can create a recipe that works the other way. Then I don’t need to create special Instagram posts to promote my WordPress blog posts. If I ever figure it out, I’ll let you know. 🙂
