Notes

One of the most frequent questions I receive is "how can I start a successful blog/instagram? How can I get more followers? How can I collaborate with brands?" In all honesty I feel a bit silly talking about " success” when I don’t feel like I’ve achieved even half of what I want to accomplish. I guess for me there is no end point where I feel like if I do this or get that I’ll be successful, but I continue to set goals for myself and work towards my vision for my brand and business. But I'm also proud of who I'm today and celebrate every tiny victory. I honestly never imagined myself growing this way when I have just started this journey, I haven't even been aware of all the business behind, I just started! Started with what I have, started with what I can, started with the fear to be judged, started with no feedback expected... that's why my first advice is this quote: you don't have to be great to start, but you definitely need to start to be great, build your own journey dare to fall and make mistakes, learn to reinvent yourself and try again in a better way. Take a look at those bloggers you see as successful, don't only see what they are doing now, see how they have started, some were only taking selfies in front of a mirror and writing a post about it... was it interesting, not so much at that time but their style has gradually evolved since then and that's how they could attract more followers (I mean real ones who always engage with ther posts🙄) and build a strong community by engaging with them as well; that's being said, strong bloggers don't ask brands for collaborations brands ask them to collaborate because they are interested in their communities and how they create content to share the information; they are also very selective because, they assume their responsibility towards their community. this advice applies to everything not only in this industry, whatever your goal is in life, think like an entrepreneur, just start where you are, with what you have, don't expect much, you won't be motivated all the time but discipline will get you there
