Greetings from a Newbie!

[BagelMom]

Hi everyone! Over the past couple years I've lurked but I decided that it was time to finally join the community.

I'm researching how to grow my blog and social media. I'm a DIY kinda gal and instead of having someone just do it for me (with imaginary $$ I don't have) I'd like to learn a little more about what I can do myself—maybe with a little help

I'm looking to improve my blog, SEO, Pinterest (clueless here), Instagram engagement and hashtags (can you even grow without a bot these days?) and the like. I've been at it for a few years now but I feel like I'm doing everything wrong—or could be doing a lot better.

Any tips for a newbie would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not. I'm complete dummy when it comes to pinterest and I know it's a huge traffic generator. I have a pinterest and occasionally pin a photo and add a couple from my blog but I'm clueless. I need to get started ASAP.

Pretty well so far. I have a small AA site going getting about $25 a month earnings. For me this is huge, especially when I take my on-tech, non-computer background. I started from scratch having to learn about hosting, website building, content, seo, etc, etc, etc. I have not broached social media, backlink building or stuff like that for the site yet because I am focusing on getting more great content on it and continuing to get the on-page/on-site seo right first.

I guess I should start a journey thread about it. These youngun's around here go through a journey so fast though, I think mine would be like watching paint peel. lol

Wish the best on your stuff. Inbox me if ya get stuck, I'll try to help or point you in the right direction.
