I think a blog is a great place to record our own lives. Maybe write down a list of where you see it going?? I love coming to see what you've been up to lovely :) Merry Christmas if we don't 'chat' before then!!

I have no idea where I would fit in the scheme of things I mean at face value I look like a mummy blogger on account of being called A Parenting Life and all but really I am not sure if I am as I don't discuss parenting all that often. In fact I am not sure I discuss anything often so much as just ramble. Much like this comment!<br /><br />Leaving some fairy wishes and butterfly kisses from #teamIBOTRhianna https://www.blogger.com/profile/08015224038142499324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760502581804337573.post-30523748226592342262013-12-17T23:00:12.008+10:002013-12-17T23:00:12.008+10:00How about just being a lifestyle blogger, then you...How about just being a lifestyle blogger, then you can blog about anything? While I suppose I am a mummy blogger, I don't like blogging about my kids which I know means that I haven't a bigger readership than I would have hoped to have if I did write about them or share their faces on social media. I have been blogging for 18mths and it is only now that a wider audience are learning about me. Hang in there..A few bloggers like fat mum slim or Pip from Meet Me at Mikes have blogging prompts you can use for the month for ideas. Pip also has a blogging online course for people only $90 for the month I think... Make sure you link up at WithSomeGrace for her flog your blog friday and Sunday Facebook loving so you can get more likes on social media. I agree, it is helpful to have a a day or topic that is special to you so you stand out from the crowd. Blogging is so up and down so don't worry too much.

It's evolving. What are you really into - what hobby could you make a focus even one day week so that you can still ramble on the other days. I actually like the rambling now and again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058233678021243605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760502581804337573.post-57744733368258703792013-12-17T21:39:43.894+10:002013-12-17T21:39:43.894+10:00Thanks for the advice and words of wisdom!

One other tip was not to reply here, but rather reply to the email notification that is sent... do you do that?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700706623301575280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5760502581804337573.post-71462350020366712432013-12-17T20:12:06.876+10:002013-12-17T20:12:06.876+10:00I pondered over this question earlier in the year ...I pondered over this question earlier in the year --- wondering about my niche. Being sort of similar to you in the childless, craftless, non-chef , single (albeit, cat) lady blogger, with a number of things I'm passionate about, I figured in the end, my 'niche' was life itself. And I find that when I read other blogs, I like to get snippets into their lives. Those are the blogs that interest me more than niche blogs. I might go visit a food blog for a recipe but I will definitely go back regularly to blogs that have stories to share about life and lessons. In the end, you need to be true to yourself and write what you love. Once you do that, it will come through your writing and people will stick around.

I still blog about various things, things I'm interested in and am not a big fan of the 'Mummy Blogger' term, I don't really class myself as that but I'm really not sure what it is anyway. Vampirestat I think is a bot of some sort that will crawl through your blog looking for things, but don't visit the website otherwise it'll keep coming back. It's not a good thing. I see you're on blogspot, if you purchase your own domain name 'zitahooke.com' for example, you can go into the blogger settings and link it to that so you don't have to use the blogspot URL. There should be instructions on how to do it in Blogger help. You don't need to pay for 'hosting' because blogger is self hosted (Wordpress.org is different, you have to pay for hosting there but personally after using both blogger and wordpress (for business) I prefer Wordpress and will be moving over soon). Back to niche, I know a number of bloggers who are very successful and don't really write about anything specifically but just write really attractive and interesting articles. I would recommend joining some Facebook groups like blog chicks and Aussie Blogs to Love, they have a great group of people who are very helpful at answering questions!Eva Lewis (The Multitasking Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05085619692868567469noreply@blogger.com
