Instagram post 2194442708893240633_1807745921 Sunday's for snuggling they say, but this morning I woke up with a LOT thoughts about 2020 and the direction my blogging business is going in... more to come on that as there's been quite a lot of conversations with other bloggers/influencers about the state of this here platform we all so love/hate its algorithm @instagram When I was able to join this platform as an Android user back in 2012 (it was only available to iPhone users only, most apps were developed for Apple then Android was secondary), I loved the idea of being able to connect with bloggers I loved and photographers from around the world sharing their amazing work. And as the years went on I, myself, started to get a large following especially after i got married and my wedding was featured in several large wedding blogs and websites. Nowadays I'm lucky if I see any of those people anymore. Heck, I'm lucky if I can get my family and friends to even see my content. For years I actively engaged with on here like @sassyredlipstick @sydnesummer @tayehansberry and @nicoles_outfit_inspirations for example disappeared from my feed. I would have to go and search for their profiles so I can see what some of my favorite bloggers/influencers were posting. If this was happening to me then it was happening to thousands of people who follow them...and people who follow me!! I love this app, for years I made a living off this app creating beautiful, authentic content for brands, growing my business and building a community of people who wanted to know how I styled my flatlays, and over the course of six years I grew my following to 85K and this year alone I've dropped down to 71K and my engagement has dropped dramatically. And I'm not the only one. Over the weekend I talked to 20-30 influencers in our Facebook group about the current state of @instagram and how incredibly frustrating it is to put so much effort into creating authentic+meaningful content and cultivating genuine relationships to have it all be a wash because the algorithm decides who is important for us to see and when we see those people/account. @instagram is: who are you to dictate to us who we see on our timelines???
Instagram post 2193328297940063406_1807745921 Two of my favorite words: weekend and wine! Wine lovers rejoice, weekend's here! 🍷🍷🍷 Happy weekend loves! Xo #alwayscreatingblog #fridayfeeling #winelover #wineoclock #winetime
Instagram post 2192957678861940507_1807745921 Happy Friday babes!💕 If you need me I'll be buried in receipts HAHAHA No, seriously though, end of the year closeout for entrepreneurs is not fun but so necessary. I'm trying to get organized for tax season. My accountant is amazing and I love her, but she's very organized and requires things in order! It sounds boring, I know, but #adulting amirite? See you all at happy hour aka wine o'clock! 5pm right here! HAHAHA I crack myself up! #friday #tgif #entrepreneurlife #bof #businesofblogging
Instagram post 2192416043740677918_1807745921 Me looking at 2020 like...💥 Did you know that Mark Twain was not only an American writer, he was also a humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer, according to his Wiki page so the next time someone tells you, you have to focus on one thing or stay on one lane, tell them to f**k off then do as many things as you damn well please! Step out of your comfort zone, take a leap of faith, take a chance on YOU! I promise you won't regret it! Are you ready to take a leap in 2020? Let's goooooooo #thursdaymotivation #2020 #gritandgrace
