Before the Paparazzi - New Blogger Series

Each Thursday for six weeks, beginning tomorrow, we will be highlighting guest bloggers in our “Before the Paparazzi” series.

We? Yes, Kristy from Hyphen Interiors and I have been collaborating on our first series! We thought that it’d be great to both have a series of bloggers at various experience levels share with our readers what it was like to get started. They will choose from a list of questions to answer and will write a Q&A style post.

The guest bloggers at Type A will be:

May 5 – Mandy at Sugar Bee Crafts

May 12 - Summer at Sumo's Sweet Stuff

May 19 - Cassie at Primitive and Proper

May 26 - Denise at The Painted Home

June 2 - SJ at Homemaker on a Dime

June 8 - Sommer at Designer Garden

I will link to Kristy's posts each week.

The guest bloggers at Hyphen Interiors will be:

May 5 – Andrea at Oakridge Revival

May 12 – Lindsay at Sadie and Stella

May 19 – Elsa at Casa Greer

May 26 – Denise at Pink Postcard

June 2 – Danielle at Danielle Oakey Interiors

June 8 - Cassie at Hi Sugarplum



Here is the list of question that was given to the guest bloggers to select from:

- What surprised you most about blogging?

- What was your biggest fear?

- What technical things have been the hardest for you?

- What have you learned when it comes to the mechanics of blogging that you didn’t know right away as a newbie?

- What have you learned as far as reaching new readers?

- What advice would you give to newbies?

- What would you have done differently?

- What tricks and tips can you give us?

- What do you think your readers most like to read about?

- What has helped you gain readers the most?

- When does one start doing giveaways or link parties?

- Do you think it is important to post every day?

- What types of posts should one avoid?  What do readers find annoying?

- Do you have tips on time management?

- What is the most work for you when it comes to blogging?

- What do you dislike most about blogging?

- What do you wish you had known?

- Should you always say yes to guest posts?

- How personal should you get?

- How much should you invest in a good design?  Did you do your own design? 

Join us for the next six Thursdays as we feature these bloggers in our “Before the Paparazzi” series. Yes, there is a little sarcasm there.  I hope to see you Thursdays! 

Thank you Kristy for collaborating on this with me, it wouldn't not have been the same without out!!!
