Hey girl! I get soooo many blogging related questions from you guys, and I really want to do more helpful blogging posts. I get tons of emails asking me “How Do You Start A Blog?” There are honestly so many different paths I could talk about when answering that question. I could tell you about picking a platform, or creating your first post, or improving SEO. There are seriously so many different topics I could talk about under the category of “starting a blog”. Therefore, I want to know what you, my readers, really want help with. What specific blogging topics should I talk about and make into a post to help you? That’s what we are going to tackle today 🙂So, as I mentioned earlier, I want to start a blogging tips and tricks series! I’ve already wrote one blogging related post which you can check out here if you haven’t yet: How To Start A Blog: Which Platform To Choose.
I honestly can’t decide which blogging topic to write about next, and I really want to know what you want to see from me!
Alright, so here is the plan: comment any blogging related question you have for me in the comments below! It’s as simple as that! You can comment a few questions but I ask that you only post a maximum of three questions just so everyone has a chance to get their questions answered:)
I am going to look at all the questions you guys comment and I am going to either answer your question in a blogging Q&A post, OR I will make a whole blog post talking about your topic if it’s something I can really expand on.
Sounds awesome right? I can’t wait to answer all of your blogging questions to help you improve your blog or start a blog!
Alright, fire those blogging questions below! Also, it would mean so much to me if you shared this post with your blogging friends so they can ask some questions too! Comment away!

24/01/2018 at 7:30 pmI love this idea so much, Taiya! I have loads of questions for you.
. How did you start collaborating with brands (such as XOPeachy Box)?
. How did you grow your Instagram to where it is today?
. Would you encourage other bloggers to start an Etsy shop like you did?
. What do you use to create the graphics on your blog?
I’ll probably think of many more questions to ask later on, but for now that wraps it up. I can’t wait to read your future posts!

-How do you do drop shipping products? (How do you design them, use PrintedMint, and all that stuff)
-How do you make prints?
-How to set up an Etsy Shop

-All about ads and setting them up (and can you choose the ones that are up so they’re related to stuff your readers actually want?!)
I have a lot of questions, I guess. 😂

I’m sixteen years old and my mom and I created this company and built it from the ground up!! I’m crazy interested in learning how to start a blog for either myself or the company! I am, however, always busy, so I need some help with tips on how to get started, or else I’ll never do it!!
Here are a few questions I have!
– What is the quickest/most efficient way to to gain a large following?
– What is the best way to find companies who want to collaborate with me?
– What do you think is the best way to stay involved/organized when it comes to my blog (being I’m a busy teenager)?
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!!!

Where do you get your inspiration?
Is it expensive to start up a self hosted site?
Is social media helpful for getting site views?
I believe that is it!
