29 Free Feminine Stock Image Resources + Bonus Resources

When I began blogging one of my worries was to be able to find the right pictures for my blog because I didn’t have the money to sign up for Stock photos websites, to be honest, I could’nt even afford a $10 monthly subscription. I looked for so many resources and what is so great about the blogger community is that we love to share and give out free stuff. Some bloggers do make a living blogging or using their blogs to promote a “Project of Love” but they are willing to give you a sample or taste of their work for free.

I’ve been able to find great free girly pictures for me to get started with my blog so I decided to put a list of the bloggers that offer some free pictures, the only thing you need to do in most cases is to provide your name and email so they can send you information about the services and products they offer and to be honest I think is only fair and you will be able to see with whom you would like to business in the future as you are growing as a blogger. From these websites that offer feminine/girly free images, you will be able to get over 300 free images, maybe not all of them will be suited for your brand I’m 100% sure you’ll find most of them useful one way or another 🙂
Most of these photos are licensed under creative commons license and for non-commercial purposes.

How to Start Your Blog Part II: Starting a Blog on Blogger


On my last post about blogging, I spoke briefly about having a niche, and blogger as a platform to start your blog. On this post I’ll let you know the steps I took to start my blog so in case you have no clue how to start on blogger this post will give you an idea.

you’ll probably get tired of me saying this many times! but I think this is the best platform to start.

Phase 1

After a thought about 3 to 5 topics that I knew I was gonna be writing about, then I followed the steps below to start my blog:

Platform Blogger: the first thing you need to do to start an account on blogger  is to sign in with a gmail account. You will type the title of your blog and type your address (thenameyouchoose.blogspot.com) . Choose one of the templates and click on “create blog”.

Phase 2

Once I opened an account on Blogger and chose the name, to make my blog look more professional I did the following:

Got a domain: I bought http://www.neishaalvarado.com/ from godaddy.com. After you purchase your domain you will get an email with instructions to set up your new domain on blogger. Once you get the email you´ll go back to blogger and click on settings and click on “add a custom domain” or “third party domain”.

If you need help in doing this step by step I watched this video which is it was very helpful to me click here


Templates: after I set up my domain, since I didn’t like the templates that come with blogger I bought a template that went with my topics, the websites I would recommend are: Pipdig and envye but there are many other websites where you can buy Blogger templates.

Favicon: I wanted to start building my “brand” right away and a good way to do this was taking off the Blogger favicon and replacing in with my own favicon, I used Picmonkey to  create my little logo and then upload it on Favicon Generator to create the favicon.

With this information you’ll have a better idea on how to start you blog on blogger, I hope this little guide can really help you on your journey to becoming a blogger and Welcome to this wonderful adventure.

Happy Blogging!

Why trying to Find "Your Niche" is not always a good advice




I’ve done so much research about how to start a blog and I have to tell you… this whole “niche thing” was something that paralyzed me and kept preventing me  from to starting my blog for a while.  Why? Because all you can find on the internet is other bloggers saying: “You need to find your Niche” or “you need to know who is your target audience” .

Well…what I HAVE to say about this is that, although there is some truth about this, You should not worry about this “niche thing” when you’re just starting out!!!

For someone who is just starting, this could be very confusing because basically what this means is that if I like fashion, then I should strictly write content about fashion.


But what if I’m passionate about many things?…doesn’t having a blog or creating a blog means that you can expressed yourself freely!!!  What is the point of creating it!! if I will be regulated in a way by this niche thing.


So after thinking for a couple of days about this topic and asking myself why I wanted to create a blog on the first place, I got rid of this freaking fear of not finding people that would like my content because I didn’t have a specific niche.


I know in my heart that there are many people like me who are multi passionate and who are also going through the same issues that I’m going through and it would be selfish not to share my life experiences and help others.


So if you are passionate about food, traveling, fashion, knowledge, beauty, animals, cartoons, music, art…don’t let this whole” FIND YOUR NICHE” thing hold you back….just share!!… create content that you are passionate about…people who are like you will find you and you might inspire them to follow their passion and share their life experiences as well.


With all my love,


Neisha
