So, this is just a fun post not intended to cause offense and let’s face it lots of us fall victim to cliches – myself included!
-
1.a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.“the stereotype of the woman as the carer”
synonyms: standard/conventional image, received idea, cliché, hackneyed idea, formula “the stereotype of the alcoholic as a down-and-out vagrant”
So many stereotypes out there such as men do football and women make good mothers but in this blog post lets start of with a general comment bloggers can get – the first thing I have heard people say to me is “blogging can’t be that hard.”
Incorrect – First we have to brainstorm about new content, write the content, create images, confirm that our SEO is on point (mine never is), promote the posts on all social sites and respond to comments. Don’t forget that also balancing jobs and/or social lives and/or parenting.
Blogging, when done correctly, takes a lot of energy and a huge time commitment.
It’s fun but also hard work.
The thing is, bloggers are just people.
People have opinions, likes and dislikes and to be able to create content all the time and keep up within their niche is hard and can be exhausting – it’s basically like its own job as social media is so fast paced and things are in and out of trending so quickly!
All bloggers have different styles, techniques, interests, skill sets and unique qualities just like every other human!
