Changing For The Better.

by Caitie2 Comments on Changing For The Better.

Changing what you want to do is never really fun. Either you’re changing because you want to or you change because you have to.

This may come as a shock for some

I don’t like my content.

I felt like I’m whiny or trying to get pity points from you guys.

I’m not really a ‘beauty’ or a ‘lifestyle’ person. I really only like games. It’s sad to say, but I don’t feel like my writing abilities are capable of being novels, maybe not even short stories. I love reading, I don’t think I’m a good writer. I love games, though.

So, I guess it’s time for a change.

Since I want to change my content, I’m going to go on a hiatus. Don’t know how long, probably not too long though. I’m going to need time to get things going. Probably a couple weeks- maybe even all of April. The world may never know until I blog next.

For the time being, I will still be on Twitter, so hit me up there! (Shameless self-promo)

The blog won’t be updated until I’m done rebranding everything. I may even fully announce who I am (Like last name levels).

In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy the archives of what I have posted. I love you. Peace

Why Bloggers Need Niches

by Caitie1 Comment on Why Bloggers Need Niches

They don’t. But it’s very hard without them.

Obviously, I’m going to be talking about niches lol

As a blogger with a (semi?) niche, I really don’t have the motivation to blog. That’s the reason why I have my weekly/semi-weekly Life Adventures(link to latest one). I can talk about my life and what I’m doing currently. It’s a weekly vlog if you think in Youtube terms. I do that so I can grow the motivation to blog about my niche.

Similar to blogging, there are content creators(ie Twitch people, Youtubers, Vimeo(??)). These content creators take what they love and produce content for it. That should be obvious though.

Some of these content creators branch out and either make more channels for their “hobbies” or they strictly upload them to their only channel. For example, a lot of YouTubers have a 2nd/Vlog channel so people can see their daily life and be more personal with their fans.

The thing is though, blogging and creating videos is not the same. 

Blogging are faced with predicaments of being strict with their content (from what I’ve seen).  How often do you see a fashion blogger talk about their mental health? Not that often, unless they have more than one small niche for different followers to read.

It’s like how Markiplier stopped playing video games for a while and focused on the van skits that some of his fans didn’t enjoy. Or how Pewdiepie stopped doing gaming videos altogether.

It’s hard not to follow a niche. That could be a good reason why when I look at my stats, I get sad. (self-deprecation for lyfe yall)

It’s hard to not follow one niche. You just have to be better at what you want to do.

Either way, making it big is hard and you have to be inspiring and focus on your joy rather than your want of fame.

-Peace out

Blogging Has Changed Me For Better

by Caitie2 Comments on Blogging Has Changed Me For Better

August 28th, 2016. I started my blog. Then, I was an anxious teenager who needed to get her thoughts out of her head. Over a year later, I’m more confident and willing to produce better content for you guys.

NNow, I know I really only post life updates or quick writings that I never continue with (EXCEPT for my choose your own story posts), but I want to grow better content to grow an audience.

I want my story to get out there, and more. I want to review books or do a haul every once in a while. Or even a DIY post. I want to become a Full-time blogger, but that’s hard.

That’s why I opened my Patreon in the beginning of the year. I’m not trying to push it on you guys, but it’s there if you feel you need to help me out.

So, starting next week-month, I shall be starting to do different posts. Like recipes, DIY, hauls, and other various ideas. I will do better!

And of course, I want to amp up my designs, so that’ll be changing too :p

What I Love and Hate About Myself

by CaitieLeave a Comment on What I Love and Hate About Myself

Now, the title might scare you a little bit, but I want to improve the things I dislike about myself. I’ll only say the major ones because I don’t need my self-esteem pitfalling.

What I love about ME

  1. My weirdness has always help me get out of awkward situations. On the 2nd, I had to say a speech in front of my speech class. The speech was literally about me being weird, and I was funny enough in my speech that I felt comfortable enough in front of 25 people.
  2. My love of books has NEVER stopped me from doing anything (small lie, I had a hard time learning the 16 “The”s in German class Junior year). I’ve had reading inserted into my brain since I was young.
  3. Throughout the past couple years, I have changed a lot. At the end of year 10, my grandmother died and that affected me so much more than I realized it had. I’m coming back from those changes and with some added features. I think those changes define who I am today.

What I hate about ME

  1. My writing isn’t all that good, I’m gonna be real honest. I know some of you might disagree, but I suck in general. I can’t write essays over the grade of 75%, my research papers always have “More organization.” or “Better transition.” People sugar coat how well my writing it. I know I’m not good, so just critique me! Help me get better!
  2. My anxiety pulls me away in situations where I honestly just can’t come back from. I have a slight speech impediment where I repeat a lot of my sentences. So, I just embarrass myself (RECENT EXAMPLE!! Where I work, we sell HUGE pickles. I asked if someone wanted them quartered. Well, I said it wrong by saying “3 quarters pickled.” *sigh* I’ll never be talk good (that was intentional).
  3. I’M NOT WITTY AND I HATE IT. I never had good comebacks, or just walk past someone and say “cute bag.” My brain isn’t wired to work like that.

 

Now, someone out there might tell me to hang in there, or suck it up, but no. You can’t make me. I will improve what I dislike about myself whether you like it or not, buttercup!

Is This Adulting? |Life Adevntures

Is This Adulting? |Life Adevntures

Sup. I ordered my books for college a week before class started. Class starts Monday. I currently only have one of my books.

WHY AM  I LIKE THIS

I have finally decided to start bullet journalling, so that’s fun. AND! I started my Youtube channel. I don’t have a good editing software, yet because school and bills come before luxury, so I have to wait to buy one. Sorry, for now, you’ll only see me post small vlogs, tags, and discussions in lower quality.

But I have good news.

I’M ACTUALLY GOING TO TRY AGAIN

For the sake of my sanity, I’ll blog, and upload once a week (separate days) and I’m going to bring my Patreon back with better prizes!

I know some of you don’t have jobs or money to help my ‘being poor’ cause, but you can still subscribe, share my posts, anything to help my sad cause

I know this may sound like I’m begging you for money, but I’m not (or at least not trying to). I just want to make better content for you guys.

I want to publish my books, create my game, and be an actual good content creator from the bottom of my heart. I love being connected with you all, but I want better quality content.

TANGENT SET ASIDE!!!

The development of my game is going really well, I’ve even created a small novel from it. I really hope to share it with you guys soon.

Don’t Know What To Post? |Life Adventures

by Caitie1 Comment on Don’t Know What To Post? |Life Adventures

Hey, how’s it going?

I can’t think of anything to blog about. May as well, just ramble on about life.

I start school on the 25th, so that’s fun. I ordered my school books pretty late. So far, I have received 1 out of four.

I really want to push good quality content for you guys, so what I’ve been doing lately is revamping my Patreon. I have different rewards now, they might sway people more now. I think doing another collab with someone would be really cool.

I have been posting on my Youtube channel. Obviously, I’m awkward on camera still, but I hope you subscribe to make me feel more comfortable! 🙂

Tell me what you guys want to read/watch! I want to feel more successful on the internet. I’ve just been feeling like this’ll go nowhere, I’ll give up in a couple months because I’ve felt useless like no blogger wants me around, or I’m just not producing good enough content for my followers to read.

Anyways. Still don’t know what I want to post anymore. Might go on a small hiatus, but that won’t do me any good, because I WANT to post, but can’t think of any good ideas for you guys.

Sadness set aside, I hope you guys have an amazing day, good luck out there in the world.
