Flawed. & (still) worthy. |
Welcome back friends! today I have super exciting post for y'all! I interviewed Delaney Hogg from @delaneyhoggyt she was so incredibly sweet to take the time to do this and I know you guys love her just as much as I do and I'm so excited for y'all to read her answers! Be sure to follow her Instagram (it's amazing) and subscribe to her YouTube channel! I will link them both below! 1. What has being a blogger taught you? I have learned so many things through blogging, I've learned all about social media and photography, how to edit photos, what apps to use and what angles are best for photos. I've learned to keep up with the trends and updates that Instagram (primarily) and other social medias have to offer. I've learned how to put together a website, how to collaborate with companies, and a lot about myself. I've learned about public speaking and I truly believe that I have become better at public speaking because of blogging and YouTube. 2. What is your favorite thing about blogging/YouTube? To start, I have at least one photoshoot a week, I am constantly searching through my SD card to see what photos I will actually use, which comes down to a ratio of about 10 photos I actually use out of 200 taken. My absolute favorite thing about this, is when I find that picture I just know is going to be repinned on Pinterest, or featured on a companies page, that my followers are going to love or that's going to get a lot of likes (I don't do it for the likes, but its nice to get a bunch). That 'Ah-Ha' moment of "this is it", finding those hidden treasure pictures in my SD card is my absolute favorite thing! 3. What is the biggest tip you can give to new bloggers/YouTubers? My only regret is that I wish I had started sooner. So I encourage starting, but my next tip for after you've started is to put in the effort to make it great. study other bloggers, read up, watch videos, do your research of what to do and what not to do. There are so many resources out there and its as simple as ever to type in Google "do's and don'ts of Instagram" or "how to start a successful blog". Learn from your favorite bloggers (don't copy), but learn, almost every Blogger or YouTuber, at one point, has posted something about tips they have for starting or growing. 4. What motivated you to start your blog? I always admired so many bloggers (and YouTubers) (including @cmcoving , sarahbelle93x , @belleoftheball45 , and @sarahKJP), I followed all of these people on my personal account, and one day I realized that I followed close to 100 bloggers and fashion gurus on my personal account, so I decided to start an account just to follow fashion accounts, and I unfollowed them on my personal. So I started @imapreppygirl , and one day (August 19, 2014) I decided to start posting random anonymous pictures, just for fun, and here I am now as @delaneyhoggyt , almost three years later , happy as ever , doing this as a job and learning more each day. 5. Have you seen yourself grow through your social media/blogging journey? Absolutely. I have learned so much about myself through this process. My self confidence has grown, it has helped me decide my career path, and I've met the most amazing people. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I hope you enjoyed this post be sure to follow Delaney's Instagram and subscribe to her YouTube channel!
