100 Followers! (and Blogger Recognition Award)

So … In the Silence Between just hit the 100 follower mark! Shout out to HYPERBOLA for being the 100th follower! I really appreciate everyone who’s taken the time to read, like, comment, and subscribe to this blog. Thanks to everyone!

A while back, Annlyel nominated me for the Blogger Recognition Award (which I haven’t gotten to until now). Let’s go!

1. Make sure to thank the blogger for nominating you and provide a link to their blog.

Thanks Annlyel from Annlyel Online for nominating me for this award! Check out her movie blog. It’s super cool.

2. Write a post on your site displaying the award that describes why you started your blog.

I started this blog as a platform to share my writing. My parents encouraged me to do it since they know how much I love to write!

3. Share 2 pieces of advice you have for new bloggers.

1. Have realistic expectations. You’re not going to have a bunch of followers immediately. It’s very slow in the beginning. Understand that the amount of work you put into it pays off but consistency is the key here. Marketing takes time!
2. Know beforehand what your vision is for your blog. The reason why I don’t have thousands of followers is because that’s not my vision. I’m a student first, so I don’t have much time for blogging. Early on, I decided that I would only post whenever I happened to have content, so it would be less stressful. Also, having a specific theme or niche for your blog is important!

4. Nominate–if you can–15 other bloggers.

Thanks to the last 15 people who followed In the Silence Between!
