Are you new to blogging or have you been blogging for quite some time and feel as though you’re not getting the results you dreamed of? Well, my friend – you may be making some time wasting mistakes!
Kristi Hill is not only a blogger but she helps other bloggers in creating an online presence to help them get their blog from “blah” to “WHAM!” – she has helped many, many bloggers achieve success. If you visit her page (Kristie Hill.com) she has everything from A-Z to help you achieve your goals of having the next best blog.
Recently, Kristi reached out to her subscribers to get their input on a very important question. “What are some things you did as a new blogger that were a total waste of time and/or didn’t help to grow your blog?” as you can imagine, the responses were so overwhelming, she decided to compile as much of it up as she could into a blog post entitled:
8 TIME WASTERS MOST BLOGGERS ARE GUILTY OF – ARE YOU?
In the post you’ll read various responses from bloggers all around the world, (including me!) of some of the biggest time wasters they experienced when they first started blogging – while this post was initially meant to be a source to help new bloggers, there was a plethora of information from seasoned bloggers whom still find themselves wasting a good amount of time on unnecessary things that did nothing to improve their blog.
I thought it was a good read and that maybe it could also help some of us new and not so new bloggers. Please read the post and and while you’re at it, follow Kristi as well; you won’t be disappointed! – If you’ve gotten side-tracked or distracted with your blogging and want to stop wasting time – this is the post to read to get you back on track!
I’m humbled as my response was one of the ones in which she picked to feature in her post. You can check that out here – my response is featured in Time Waster #3: The Comparison Trap.
So, Let’s Get to It! Time’s a Ticking…

Loved article, Roshonda. Congratulations on being part of it. I am still working on an email list. I will get to it as soon as I figure out what it is?

Thanks Gurly! Honeyyyyyy, let me tell you about that email list…lol. I’m on MailChimp, is that where you are? I have to admit, I’ve heard people say, you need to get your email list together and they talk about lead pages that’s supposed to get you those subscribers but Idk, no worries, you’re not alone – I’m still trying to figure that one out myself. I need help with things like that, that is on my prayer list. Thanks for reading and commenting! xoxo
