There has been a lot of talk this week surrounding Influencers and the buying of followers, likes and comments. It’s been a tricky subject for a while, with a lot of people giving their opinions of seeing it happen first hand, yet we still won’t jump that final hurdle and…
Happy Friday! If you know me, then you’ll know I always like to have a plan in place, goals to meet and targets to achieve. I always like to set myself goals whether that be in my personal life, my career plan or blog-wise. Having goals always gives me something…
I have this niggling annoyance with the #BloggersWanted hashtag on Twitter. I see PRs and Marketers sending out tweets asking for bloggers to get in contact for possible collaborations, review products or be added to mailing lists. Sometimes I think it’s lazy on their behalf. Other times I can see…
