How To: Find New Bloggers!

-
 
 
Hey Guys x
 
Before I begin this post, I just wanted to say that I've just been reading the comments on my last post (here) and I honestly can't put into words how much those comments, and you guys individually, mean to me. So thank you very much if you commented on or even read my last post.
 
Anyway, recently, I've been really struggling to find new bloggers, and I figured that some of you guys might be struggling with finding new bloggers too.
 
So then, I had one day where I just found a lot of new bloggers, so I thought that I'd give you guys some tips on how to find new bloggers!
 
Dive Into Popular Bloggers Comments!
 
This is the best place! People who read the blogs of popular bloggers and YouTubers always leave their blog links, just because they want the bloggers to see them. So what I do is, I go on to a popular blogger's latest post (such as Louise/Sprinkle of Glitter) and look though the comments. Then with every blogger, I copy and paste their blog link into a different tab and look through their blog, seeing whether I like it or not. If I like their blog, I leave a comment, with my blog link in case they want to see what my blog is like. This is great because you already know that you have something in common -  the person whose blog you found them on!
 
Dive Into Your Own Comments!
 
When people comment on a blog - any blog - they generally leave their blog link, as I do. It's not so much 'self promo' as just letting people know where to find you. Look at the comments of your own blog and see if people have left comments with their link. If they have, give their blog a thorough look-through. At least you know that they like yours!
 
Mention Popular Accounts On Twitter!
 
This is something that really works for me. I always promote my blog posts on twitter - this is the only social network that I actually use. That being said, I always tweet the link to my post once, then I tweet it again while mentioning certain accounts on twitter who retweet bloggers posts. This way, your posts get retweeted to many people, who then have the option to look at you blog, which really helps!
 
Search For Posts You'd Like To Read!
 
Rather than searching for bloggers and hoping that they have good posts, search for good posts and hope that you find good bloggers. For example, as I like to review things, if I see a new book out or a new film, I search: 'film name - blog review' and I usually find a really great blogger!
 
Get Recommendations From Other Bloggers!
 
This is a great way of finding new bloggers, because if you get recommendations from people you like and trust, then you'll know that the bloggers are good! I do this by looking at the bloggers that my friends link in their posts, because I know that they'd only link someone if they were good!
 
Use Bloglovin'!
 
For me, Bloglovin' is one of the best websites to find new bloggers. This is because, they have many categories for you to find bloggers. For example, I often search the category 'books'. Then I look at all of the different book bloggers and find some that don't have many followers. I could do this for hours!


Anyway, these are just some of my tips for finding new bloggers.

Thank you for reading!

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
