I think people are attracted to pinterest because it has different pictures and ideas people are looking for that are not simply found on google. There is an endless amount and they do not get worse as you get further down the board. Great for ‘quick thinkers’.

Facebook has been around for a long time but has never bothered me in a negative way. It’s positive in a way to search for people and keep in touch with family and see what it happening world wide, trends and gossip etc. Perfect for advertising buisness and a great easy to use social media app.

Twitter is similar to facebook and other social media apps. Good for advertising and following beauty and the beauty community, interesting to see the differences between each media app. Easy to use which is always great when starting something new.

My name is Giulia, i am studying Nail Technology this year to become a fully qualified nail technician by the end of this year. I intend on following through with nails during next year and potentially looking at other aspects of beauty such as hair and makeup.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
