I was guilty of this myself! It's important to just fully be yourself . I had an idea about what I thought bloggers were/what they did/how they dressed. The reality is I've seen the most growth when I started putting out content consistently that was 100% real. Nights out with my friends, trips to the gas station for snacks, funny memes. People want to see authentic content. Whatever it is you are... show that. You'll be surprised how many people will relate to you if you are.

AVOID THESE NEWBLIE BLOGGER MISTAKES
Be honest and true. In all social media forms I can't stand fake comments just so they get a follow. I'd rather meet like minded people and not people out just for followers!

Giving up!! You have to be persistent no matter what. :) Also, do it for yourself, if it makes you happy it will pay off in the long run.

Not being themselves and trying to mimic other bloggers.

AVOID THESE NEWBLIE BLOGGER MISTAKES
I think trying to mimic what other bloggers before them are putting out there. I think staying true to yourself and having something new, and unique to share is the most important thing.
