Tell us about who you are and what you do.
I am a 21-year-old student studying Accounting full-time at University. On the side, I run a blog called The Unpredicted page where I talk about life advice, healthy living, and occasionally some blogging tips. I have always loved writing and having people read my work so blogging was an ideal hobby for me that I eventually managed to get monetized.
Tell us how you created this blog and what was the sole idea behind it.
I like to help people with issues that I have stumbled across myself. I am currently writing a series around Instagram and how to grow an account on there that you can start monetizing. I have had about 8 paid collabs on Instagram and I know other people would like my tips on how I made that happen. I also managed to grow my account to 5k followers in 5 months. I started my blog in lockdown in April 2020 when I had nothing to do and I was googling ways to make money on the side and blogging came up! I had never really considered being a blogger before that but the idea stuck with me and I couldn’t let it go so I decided to try it.
Go in detail and tell us about how your blog works. You may keep this from the audience’s perspective.
I write advice and tips based on everyday life struggles, traveling, baking tips, money hacks, healthy living advice and so much more. I try and make sure there is something that can help everyone on my blog so I can attract a bigger audience.
Explain the challenges you went through while you were working on blog creation. What are the challenges you go through on an everyday basis?
Having enough time is a massive challenge. A blog takes a lot of work and time as well as running an Instagram on the side. You have to write, take pictures, create a schedule, promote, engage with your audience and so many more things! Of course, as my university works get harder I will have to focus on that more and my blog might have to take a step back. However, I refuse to give it up completely. It is something that I love doing and I have worked hard on growing it so I do not plan for all of that hard work to go to waste. So having time to get everything done to the right standard is something that I struggle with.
How do you manage your finances through the services you offer. Any fundings etc received?
I have put all of my own money into my blog and already I have made back the money I spent since monetizing my blog.
Tell us your future vision about the blog. How far do you want to take it? What is your dream about taking it to the next level?
I would love to be a full-time blogger. I want to work for myself and work on my own time schedule. There is no limit to the amount of money you can make and I have seen amazing blogger success stories that constantly motivate me to stick at it. I would love for my blog traffic to grow and more people see my writing.
What message would you like to give to anybody who has a plan of creating something of their own and making a living through it?
You cannot manifesto something without putting the work into it. You will have to invest in yourself if you want to get anywhere. Investing is the hardest step and you are worried if you will be able to make it all back but honestly, it is so worth it.
