Before I follow a blog I usually spend a few days reading and re-reading al the posts on the blog to see if I like the style of writing and the validity or the posts. <br /><br />Have to admit I have fond a few nice blogs thru the competitions they run, but I don't always enter as the prizes don't always interest me. <br /><br />Congrats on staying true to your opinions.

But I started my new blog because I found that the mummy-world was competitive. I've since learned it's not just mummies. <br />I have 37 followers to my blog. I *did* actually recently hold a small giveaway; not necessarily to gain followers {although I did feel like I was constantly talking to myself!} and I had only three people enter. I was okay with that, I know my small little random blog only appeals to some, and that suits me fine. I often find that those with ten thousand followers never get around to replying to comments personally -- which I prefer to do.<br />Thanks for being so honest, I really like that :)<br />e.

I get happy seeing my follower number rise because its so interesting/shocking to know people want to read my blog, but I don't live for the number. I've gotten offered free items and said no to 50%, only accept those that I have genuine interest in, something I probably would buy myself.

You have written a lot of things that I have been wanting to say myself for quite some time but haven't been able to find the right words to do so. At the end of the day none of us are any "better" than eachother. We are all just passionate people availing of a free online service to communicate ourselves with. I have no idea where some people find their sense of entitlement to free products from companies, it's a privilege and not a right! Also I find the whole incessant giveaways thing Is ridiculous! You're buying *numbers* that mean absolutely nothing! It's like Farmville (remember Farmville?) where you could use real money to buy Farmville money to play in the game with-- but that money meant nothing!! Why spend hundreds of euro on prizes "I sneezed today- let's have a giveaway" just to get followers who mean nothing! I'd rather have 10 loyal readers than 10,000 free loaders looking for freebies. <br />*sigh*<br />these people will never learn. <br />*end rant*Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125788177438008958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-450788358483391292.post-17953599633330041802011-09-14T15:59:55.741+01:002011-09-14T15:59:55.741+01:00Great post - I started blogging around the same ti...Great post - I started blogging around the same time as you and I'm glad it's not just me harbouring the same opinions, particularly about some PR people who want us to post about their products without even trying them. <br /><br />I also agree about the content on bigger blogs which can be lacking some times. I used to follow some amazing bloggers but as they've gotten bigger (and maybe as my knowledge of the system increases) I can tell they now spend their lives at press days and regurgatating press releases, and their reviews are all so positive and gushing without even the odd comment like "not a fan of the consistency... etc). <br /><br />Glad to have found your blog! <br /><br />Lauren from <a href="http://laurenlovesblog.com/" rel="nofollow">Lauren Loves</a> xxxLauren Loveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109799962704862551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-450788358483391292.post-55976909343470795832011-09-14T15:18:12.963+01:002011-09-14T15:18:12.963+01:00Great post Aoife.

I have yet to be asked to review something by a company, sent free stuff or gain a mass of followers, and does it bother me? Not at all. As long as I'm enjoying blogging then that is what matters, and if a handful of people enjoy my blog too, then that makes it even better. Really enjoyed this post.xxxxTamsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435952265631920876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-450788358483391292.post-39094392806808384372011-09-14T15:01:14.414+01:002011-09-14T15:01:14.414+01:00I really agree with you, I don't see it as a g...I really agree with you, I don't see it as a game to get followers, if someone follows me I get excited, go see my mum and am like omg someone gives a crap about my blog, they're not followers to me they're people who care about my blog (I hope they do anyway) and it makes me happy when the same people from my followers leave me a comment on every post I do cuz I feel like they've followed my blog because they like it. If im not following someone I wont follow them just to enter their giveaway, I only follow people whos blog I'll want to read every day. It realy annoys me when people comment and I can tell they havn't read what I've said and have they've just looked at the pictures.xGeorgieWildinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303276021378746188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-450788358483391292.post-45595563531923200372011-09-14T14:44:17.473+01:002011-09-14T14:44:17.473+01:00it's so refreshing to read such an honest post...it's so refreshing to read such an honest post! i recently started blogging and i agree with many of the points you made<br />also i think what that company asked is completely ridiculous and unethical, it really makes you think about the reviews that you come across and how truthful they really are!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359960984562497088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-450788358483391292.post-68476523739757756542011-09-14T14:30:48.270+01:002011-09-14T14:30:48.270+01:00Great post Aoife.

I am hesitant to hold a giveaway though as I feel like majority of bloggers now are just holding them to gain more followers and I don't want my loyal followers to feel like that's what I am doing. Eventually though of course I will want to hold one to show my appreciation for my followers and I hope a "real" follower wins..<br /><br />I can't believe that company asked you to blog about the products without even seeing them! That is madness, I wonder if any blogger would do that! I hope none of the ones I am following would. <br /><br />Hannah xoHannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358480782209326771noreply@blogger.com
