Blogging 101: The Benefits of Making Mistakes

Although I am not a blogging expert, I have been a blogger for over two years now and I have learned a lot since I started. As many of you know my first blog was the streetstyle blog, ‘Captured by Deleki’, where I documented the looks of people on the streets of Cork and other parts of the world. At the time, I really wanted to be a streetstyle blogger because I love to travel and I love fashion. However, a few months after I created Captured by Deleki, I realised that I wanted a more personal blog. 

I choose to look at this experience in a positive way because if I had not started the streetstyle blog, I probably would not have started this blog. Blogging about what interests you is never a bad idea. For example, I met some amazing people from different walks of life and still keep in contact with them, I learned so much about myself and I have gained more knowledge as a result. 

Mistakes are valuable and not just in terms of blogging. Think about the mistakes you have made in the past and how it has shaped your knowledge. I believe that it is very important to do what feels right when writing your first or next blog post. However, if you later realise that you would prefer to blog about something else, at least you would have gained experience, maybe collaborate or network and also know more about yourself in the process.

Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions on the topic for my next blogtip?

Until next time,
