Interview with Crystal Green Interview of a Professional Blogger : eAskme |
Q. Please share about yourself and your story to enter in blogging?
Ans: I'm a SC wife and homeschooling mother to three kids. I started blogging as a way to share my personal life experiences in hopes of it helping others with similar issues. I have an abusive past and when I started my blog I thought that was going to be what I wrote about the most. However, the longer I've been blogging the more I've found that I truly enjoy writing about entertainment related topics, homeschooling, parenting, marriage and life in general. I love being a lifestyle blogger who talks about a wide range of experiences. I do strive to provide tips and tricks to help my readers make the most of their lives.
I love to help others with their blogging journey too. I have written a long list of blogging tips posts too. Feel free to email me with any blogging question that I didn't cover, and I'll gladly write up a post (and/or make a video) about the topic.
I love connecting with others. I like making lasting connections with my readers. I may not have a large set of pageviews, but I do have a loyal readership.
Q. How the idea to make your own blog came in your mind? How you found the right people to develop it and what big obstacles you faced?
Ans: My blog name came from me wanting to share my own personal life experiences in hopes of helping others through sharing my stories. I thought of how older people sit on their porches and just share some of the things they've learned in their lives with some big moral to it all. I strive to do that with my own writing. I hope to make you feel like you're sitting on my front porch with me.
My biggest struggle has been keeping everything organized. I actually overload myself because I never expect to get approved for so many things. I want to write more evergreen content verses sponsored content. Finding that happy balance has been my biggest issue!
I also still do NOT have the website layout that I want to have. I have tried to change it a lot of times!! I believe I have created that issue since I cover so many topics. I know I need to narrow them down more.
Q. Can blogging really change someone`s life?
Ans: It most definitely can. It has opened a wide range of opportunities for my family. It has allowed me to stay home and actually be able to see my kids grow up and learn daily. I love the fact that we get to try out so many neat products. I also feel like I have gained so many relationships that have truly improved my life for the better. It has helped me with my depression issues too. Blogging is addictive and a lot of fun for everyone involved. If anything, it has helped bring my family closer too. I truly love blogging and all that comes with it.
Ans: Honestly, I don't have a favorite marketing tool yet. However, I have used many different things to help with scheduling social media from Hootsuite, Buffer, Tailwind, ViralTag, and CoSchedule. I also have plugins that help with promoting stuff automatically for me too. Nothing beats having others market your blog posts for you because they love what they've found though.

Q. What is your daily schedule? And how do you maintain your tasks?
Ans: I wish I could have a daily schedule that I could keep. I would love to work on my blog from 9AM-5PM daily. If I didn't have to teach my kids, I honestly could. However, I do strive to write a blog post a day (it doesn't always happen that way) , schedule out some social media each day, and I visit at least 20 other bloggers a day and do some blog love.
Q. Blogging have different definition for different person. What is it for you?
Ans: Blogging is when I write to share a part of myself with others. Blogging is also about making connections with people who have similar interests as me. I also feel that now it's a very viable form of quality income. I feel that blogging if done correctly is a life changer in many ways. Blogging allows a person to learn and grow in ways they never dreamed possible. It's a therapeutic form of outlet. I feel utterly blessed to able to call myself a blogger. I hope to do it for many more years if not the rest of my life.
Q. Which are your favorite blogs?
Ans: Wow, that's truly a hard one to narrow down because I visit hundreds of blogs a week. I have a few that I would say I don't want to miss their blog posts.
Ans: I honestly spend more time on social media and blog promotion than I do on writing the content. When it comes to blogging, it doesn't work to just write it and expect them to come. In the online world, you have to be everywhere or be in one spot exceptionally well.
Q. How much time do you spend for blogging daily?
Ans: Blogging is something that I wish I could do all day everyday. Honestly I spend about 4 hours a day total on my own personal blog. I am online a lot, but the real hours that I get to devote to my blog is at max 4 hours a day.
Q. Finally, I would love to have your message for my readers and any suggestions for newbies?
