Welcome to the Blogger Spotlight Interview. This week we have Lesley from Places with Ed taking part.
If you would like to take part, and your blog is under six months old, or has been re-launched in the last six months, please email me randommusings29@gmail.com
1 Firstly, tell us a little bit about yourself
I’m Lesley and I have a 3-year-old boy called Ed and 2 stepsons 12 and 16. My blog is about places I go with my family. I am a teacher along with being a blogger and I also used to be a news reporter.
2 What is your blog’s name and what is it about?
My blog is called Places with Ed. It’s about places I go with Ed and the family. Mainly in the Cotswolds but sometimes further afield. I also write about parenting issues and more ‘thought-provoking’ stuff at times.
3 Why did you decide to start a blog?
I love writing and so I started off thinking it would just be a hobby (I guess it still is really as I’m not making any money out of it at the moment!) I have written 2 blogs previously about supply teaching and teaching in Korea so I thought I’d have a go at a parenting one.
4 Do you have any goals for your blog?
For it to grow – for more people to read it so I guess that’s about growing my followers on all social media platforms.
5 Tell us one random fact about you
I don’t like writing in blue pen.
6 What is the best piece of blog related advice you have received so far?
Don’t expect big things from the start and also to have goals.
7 What is your favourite thing about blogging?
Being able to write about what I want.
8 Is there anything you would do differently if you were starting over knowing what you know now?
I wouldn’t DM people to start with – not being used to the blogging world and social media, I thought sending DMs were ok but there’s perhaps an etiquette.
9 Anything else you’d like to share with us?
I hope to give up teaching in a year and do blogging full-time. Can’t wait to discover more about it and other bloggers! Thanks so much for featuring me!
10 Where can we find you? (blog link and links to any social media)
My blog, Instagram and Twitter.
