What's it like to be a blogger?

Last week I was contacted by the lovely people over at farfetch.com about sharing some information and statistics they have recently collected on what it takes to be a blogger. 

Farfetch are a community of independent fashion boutiques that span all over the world, but all come together on the one website. Farfetch say that they offer "an inspirational shopping experience to fashion-forward consumers". They offer a range of high end clothing, shoes and accessories all of which are absolutely stunning and make me weep due to my empty bank account, but I digress. With how popular blogging is now becoming, especially fashion, beauty and lifestyle blogging the people over at farfetch have put together a beautiful infographic *see above* to inspire current bloggers and anyone who is interested in blogging. I personally thought that all the information they had managed to get from their survey was displayed beautifully, but is also extremely helpful for anyone who is interested in blogging or for anyone who is a blogger and just wanted a little bit of advice and information. I can honestly say that I found everything include on the infographic really relevant and interesting. I was actually really suprised that 60% of bloggers now use their phones to take photos for their blog, which makes me feel a lot less guilty!

I really agree with a lot of the information they managed to collect; choosing quality over quantity is a huge thing for me. I feel guilty that I can't post all day everyday, I'd love to if I could but working full time and having a life outside of blogging does make it difficult, so that why when I do post I try to do things that I'd enjoy reading so that hopefully my readers enjoy the posts as well. I also think keeping a journal of idea's is also such a good idea, I've started this in the last few months and whenever I come up with a new blog idea I can jot it down and go back to it when I'm ready so it makes things 10x easier for me!
