Hey guys and welcome to liz_ecrit!š
This was actually supposed to be my first blog postš¤§
Apologies for thatā¤ļø
Guess we can still make this workš„°
So todayās write up is basically gonna be talking about how it all began(what inspired me and all the story behind that)...my aims (purpose) and what I hope to do and achieve with this blog and also my niche and mission statement! Veryyy important!
So without further ado,letās get on to it!
Iāve always loved books, always loved fictitious stories and characters; as a matter of fact, I remember a time I wrote a novel about a girl who had a crush on a guy(I was young okayš©)and well I canāt even find the book sigh; and I donāt think I finished the book...but I remember I had lots of fun writing it.
I could spend hours engrossed in my book, felt like I was in the four corners of that little book, coming up with the storyline as I was writing;letting my imagination run wild...
Yeah I know, that wasnāt the best bet but what do you expect from an 8 year old who felt rules werenāt needed in writing...who knew absolutely nothing about the pre-writing phase and all the nick nacks...
I had no care in the world honestly so I wrote and kept writing as it came to me. Itās sad I couldnāt finish the book though and since then I wasnāt inspired to. I donāt know why but I just didnāt..But my love for books never died; I love reading novels, novelettes, biographies,you name it! But somehow I never felt compelled to actually WRITE my own book. But I knew I had it in me,I knew I wanted to but I just didnāt..I guess a lot of things took a lot out of my time and I was just too overwhelmed...
The years went by and here I was out of high school with my WAEC and NECO(external examinations) completed.
My mom felt I wasnāt ready to go to college and at first I was quite sad but I looked at the bright side and found a silver lining in the midst of the storm and Iām happy I did!
I found out I loved Digital Marketing and it all started from my uncle who introduced me to it...To cut this long but captivating story shortš; I found out I loved writing AGAIN after I had abandoned it for so many years..
I immediately had the idea for a blog even though I was still quite not sure about it.(the fear of not being good enough)
But I had my mom to advise me and I worked on my diffidence and here I am!š
Iām currently working on two novels that I would no doubt reveal to you all as soon as itās completed.
Currently doing courses on creative writing and blogging to widen my knowledge.
Doing a lot of research as well to keep me,this blog and everything Iāve worked for, going.
And all this happened because I stayed home, looked within me and found out what I wanted, what I loved.
My mom made me realize I didnāt have to rush it, take things easy, figure out what I love and enjoy doing and yeah I wasnāt sure of what I wanted out of life and by Godās grace,I know what I want now!
What I wanna to study in school.
My dreams and aspirations are in alignment now.
They were all jumbled up in my head and it got me so confused and deluged and now Iāve got everything under control!
Yeah sometimes I still get confused about how to go about it but hey! who doesnāt!
To the best of my understanding, all we gotta do is keeping pushing and have faith in ourselves!
Thereās nothing worse than not believing in yourself really because you should be your biggest fan and if you arenāt, welp...
So all this wouldnāt have happened if not for God and of course my momš„°
What I hope to achieve with this blog is;
Explore perspectives, come out of my shell and gradually make my voice known to the world.
Iāve always been a shy, introverted and timid person but Iām happy that itās no longer atrocious (believe me it was)
ā¢Make this blog well known around the world
Believe it or not, I want to go pro and Iām not gonna stop until Iām very good at this and Iām definitely gonna need your help(commenting and leaving feedback will do!ā¤ļø)... Iām not gonna upload content for just a month or two and then ditch all this! No!...This aināt going nowhereš... Iām hopeful and optimistic about this blog... Godās on my side!
ā¢Hopefully use this medium to promote my business and my hobbies.
Iām sure we all know thereās more to a blog than just uploading content. (and if you didnāt,well you know now)
A lot of people become influential and famous with just a blog and Iām hoping for that as well.
ā¢Start a vlog as well on YouTube!(but that would be much laterš)...
ā¢Help people and likewise help myself grow because Iām still learning and Iām sure Iām gonna learn a lot from you all!
So these are the purposes I have for this blog and the perspectives I wanna explore and as time goes on, we will all see it patent!ā¤ļø
Before I forget; My mission statement,
My niche and
My content schedule.
But before I get into that; Iāll just like to say since Iām still new to this and Iām still researching, Iām gonna stick to just one or two category(ies) which is:
ā¢Inspiration and advice/lifestyle
As time goes on, I will add to it but it is advisable to stick to these two for now.
Like I said earlier I hope for this blog to become successful so just like other successful companies and bloggers;
My mission statement is to help others become confident in their own skin,teaching them how to handle anything that comes their way and in turn help myself!(cuz Iām still learning)
Having a niche is focusing on a specific topic and becoming the go-to expert on that particular topic.
As you can see,the categories I mentioned earlier are close to what my niche is and that is why Iāll need to be excellent at a few before going for a lot. I must be an expert at one or two before venturing out for more. It is a focused, targeted area. It is specific.
And my content schedule!āØ
I know I havenāt been present and Iām working on that!
So Iāll be uploading content twice every week!
So hang on to this family and thank you all for believing in me!
Promise you wonāt regret it!āŗļø
