Some of my favorite bloggers have done this, so I thought I'd give it a go!
Do you have a question for me?
Something you've been itching to ask about?
Maybe no one does! But I'd love to answer any questions you do have.
Ask away! I'm ready!

And one more thing: I'm LOVING how much I feel like I'm connecting with you guys as my readers. I recently joined the Bigs and Littles Blogging Network thinking I'd be a little, and I'd get paired with someone who I considered more experienced, a "big" if you will.
Instead, I was labeled a "big," and got paired with a "little," which was not only a surprise, but an honor! One of the directors of this blogging network sent out a mass email to all the people participating, apologizing that there simply weren't enough "bigs" and that almost everyone had listed that they wanted a mentor, not to be one. I guess a lot of people were upset that they couldn't be "trained" by a bigger blog. I think a lot of people were expecting this to be a way to gain a lot of followers from a larger blogger instead of a networking opportunity to make a friend and learn something new, or help someone along their way.
This makes me sad, that people were kind of hoping to mooch and not really have to share any tricks of the trade with anyone else. But when I learned that I was a "big" instead of a "little," I was really excited. I got even more excited when I started working with this girl (who you'll see on my sidebar next month). It gave me an idea to start a series (maybe monthly?) where I offer to help a "littler" blog than mine to figure out the ups and downs of blogging. What do you guys think? Should there be a follower-amount maximum? Should there be a maximum amount of years the blog has been going? Should there be any requirements for "littles" who want to participate?
Let me know in the comments, and don't forget to ask all your questions! If there are any questions you'd rather leave anonymously, feel free to switch over to "Anonymous" mode or send me a private email to tesiahwilk@yahoo.com.
Can't wait to hear what you all say!
I joined the big and little network on their first go round. and I got assigned as a big, even though I totally feel little. I did what I could and offered advice to my little. I think she is doing great, I'm not sure if I had any part of that! this time I begged to be given a big because I still feel little! I want to learn from someone, not mooch off of them. I want to learn as much as possible. and I love your series idea too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your big/little connection worked out! I think I participated in the same "program", and was also paired with another "little". Unfortunately it wasn't a great pairing as our blogs and us as bloggers had absolutely nothing in common :( I think we connected for a few weeks and then just went our separate ways. I'm glad your pairing worked out :)
ReplyDeleteTwo questions.
ReplyDeleteFirst, do you read every comment posted on your blog, even days after you posted the post that your readers commented on?
Second, where did you get all of the outfits for the photo shoot you did (pictures above in this post) and who did your styling?
