Life is built upon little successes. Every big milestone that we hit has been built on many mini steps first. Creating a social media presence is no different. It’s important to take the time to celebrate the little successes so that the journey to your ultimate goal doesn’t feel so far away.

I read hundreds of blogs a day. They fall into two categories: professional (blogs concerning social media) and recreational (interior design blogs). In the past few weeks I feel as though I’ve read half a dozen posts from various bloggers who are either trying to convince me that I should only blog when I have something truly amazing to say, whether that is once a week or once a month OR I should inundate my readers with content all day long. 5 posts a day! 10 posts a day!
