Blogger Interview # 89 : Connie Forsyth

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you tell us a little about yourself and your blog?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a stay at home mom with 9 children. I design and sew little girls clothing. My blog is a way for me to promote the clothing I make and also an outlet for me to share about my life and family.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you a full time blogger? How did you get into blogging and why?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Is a full time blogger someone who tries to blog once a day? If yes, then yes I am!! I started blogging to promote my Etsy store. You can visit my Etsy store here. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
If someone was interested in blogging, what would be a few things you would suggest?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

To someone just starting out blogging, I would suggest blogging about what you love. If it's forced it's not that fun to read.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

How do you build a community around a blog and social media?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I am someone who is just learning to build a community around my blog. My only suggestion is to join blog hops to get your name out there. Hopefully you will attract people who like your style. It is no use attracting people who just follow to get followed back. You want people who will communicate with you. Be loyal to the people you follow and you will get loyal followers as well.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
What are your three favorite blogs to read? What makes those blogs special?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

My three favorite blogs are  

• http://canadianbeautyreviews.blogspot.ca/ 
• http://www.thecottagemarket.com/ 
• http://vintagegreyhandmade.blogspot.ca/ 

These three blogs are special because of their writing style, information and honest reviews!! The Canadian Beauty tells about all kinds of makeup and skin care with honest reviews, good or bad, and she does great photos. The cottage market shows gorgeous things for your home, following themes, and she gives away great printable  Vintage Grey is so sweet. She loves vintage, just like me, she also is starting up a cool etsy business as well.

Which one plugin would you suggest all bloggers to have?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I do not have a suggestion for a plug in. I'm not actual sure what it is!!
