A Week of Blogsperiment - The Reveal



Day 1
So curvy divas, getting straight to the point, I did the blog-speriment because I wanted to see if my viewership/readership would grow or decrease by doing only photo blogging with links, and/or very little information.



Day 2
                                     

As a blogger, as much as I do enjoy doing what I do, if I say  that it doesn't matter whether I have a readership or not, I would be lying.  Every writer wants, needs to know that their work is appreciated and liked...yes, and/or loved...even if only by one or two people!  That knowledge is motivating enough to give us that secret smile of work well-done!  Since I've started this blog my readership/clicks have grown. Yes that secret smile is on my face as I write that fact!

I love reading other blogger's work.  I admire those who are able to do what they do and make a living from it.  I also like looking at how their site is set up and comparing their blog's look to mine.  There are some real professionals online who are the ultimate bloggers that I dream to be one day, on my own terms of course!

Day 3

There are fashion bloggers who post outfits they wear, finds they buy and celebrity designer wares.  Some of them post really lovely photographs which garners a lot of readership, and they also garner everything that goes along with having a large readership.  Some bloggers will post photos and a description of the clothing, and where to find, cost, etc.  Some will have a story to tell, and/or write up an article in their style to post with their photographs.  Some do not.  It just depends on the blogger's style. However, for some, no matter what they do, they have a large following no matter what they do.


Day 4


I post photographs with my articles.  Sometimes the photographs are linked from the sources that I am writing about, at other times, they are my own, sometimes they are from the research I have done.  Some of my articles, depending on the topic will have a large viewership, and some do not.  I have learned that it just depends on the topic I am writing about, and whether it is interesting or not, that garners the readership that I have.

Day 5

On day one, the first day of the experiment, I garnered a readership of 23, page view of 80.  On Day 2, there were 13 readership; Day 3, 14 readership; Day 4, 20, and I noted a page view of 107; and on the final day of my week-long blogsperiment there were 5, at the time that I checked earlier that day.  Below however, shows the final results:

Day 5: Week of Photo Blogging: Hats                           18 reader count 
Day 4: Week of Photo Blogging: The Look                   29 reader count
          Day 3: Week of Photo Blogging: Trendy Outfits            19 reader count
          Day 2: Week of Photo Blogging: Spring Trend              19 reader count
         Week of Photo Blogging: Statement Necklaces              27 reader count



Unfortunately, overall, I didn't make a note of each day's page views for each day of the experiment.  What did I learn?  I learned that you, my curvy divas, love to learn "stuff" to coin a word.  You don't just like to see photographs, you want to know details, details, details.  I find that when I write, giving my "spin" on the topic at hand, that garners the most readership!

We are fashionistas, with a passion for learning! We don't want to only look beautiful, we have brains behind the beauties! The 'nuts & bolts' of this blog-speriment is if you are a blogger, you have to put the work in to your blog. Having new content on a regular basis is a big plus. That is how you gain readership, and also a loyal following!  If you have read with me up to the end of this rather long article, more kudos to you!

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair.
