Leave this field empty. Thank you for addressing the lack of authenticity present in so many blogs these days. Look what [insert company here] just sent me. This is the best day ever! This is my favorite! You have to get it! After all, free is fun. Some blogs are very disingenuine.

They love a new makeup brand every week, lol…or a blogger who loves a new hot sauce every month. So yes, I hear you on this. I might even look at the non-ads and product promotion. I still like the stories, memories behind the posts. I choose to think the market on home decor, design blogs is saturated. Why would anyone read what I have to say. I totally get that you need to pay the bills and the sponsored posts help.

Why Do Bloggers Lie About Making Money?

I enjoy your blog and all that you feel like writing. Seriously, Skip to recipe! Thank you for your fun blog. I get frustrated with all the pop up ads that slow down my phone or iPad. For me, Instagram stories help me connect to a blogger. I follow you on Instagram and am taking time to comment to support you. I have to say I enjoyed reading your rant. Only because I had no idea how difficult and frustrating blogging can be. I can barely keep up with my own. I look forward to seeing your re-do in September. Ah Julie I feel you so hard on this! I also have another FT job my kids, and blogging was always a creative outlet I desperately needed that brought me a lot of joy.

In the last few years the intense pressure to keep up has stripped that all away. What used to be a passion for baking and photography turned into a feeling of obligation and stress every time I saw other food bloggers doing more, or different things. I miss the old days for sure. Thanks for sticking to your guns and being you! You keep doing what feels right and being the best mom out there that you can for your kids in this season! Take it from a newspaper food writer — that dwindling attention span you mentioned is hurting us all.

Best of luck to you Julie, in whatever you choose. I have never made 6 figures, how frustrated do you think that makes me? Definitely a shift…I think people spend more time on FB reading crap than reading blog posts, but I do think there are real readers out there still.

This year I cut back on client work and just blog when I feel like it. I miss goofing around on Twitter…I really made a lot of my friends because of twitter lol. At conferences and everything else in between! Those were the good ole days, right?! I really do want to continue blogging but I just need to refocus and reshift everything, I think. Thanks for writing, Aggie!

I had a blog back in the early days of blogging. I took a few hiatuses here and there hoping that would regenerate me, and it did for awhile. Finally I threw in the towel and called it quits. To this day it was the right decision for me. Bottom line, my life is fine without blogging…. The best to you in what your future holds. Just remember, it has to be right for you and only you. Thanks so much for the reminder and insight! I totally agree with you. It just has to be a decision I make on my own! Girrrrrl, you read my mind with all of this!

I hate HATE what the world has turned into now though! Anyone with a camera can come along and post a recipe, and the authenticity that once drew me has all but vanished.

The State of Blogging: It’s No Longer Fun

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for writing this. It gave me some glimmer of hope that someone else feels the same! Please continue your blog!! I enjoy reading about your travels and my husband and I LOVE your recipes beef enchiladas are one of our go to recipes! In addition to your cookbook, I purchased the MAC lipstick, Clean on Me shower gel and Brooklinen sheets that you recommended and they are all winners.

I understand your frustrations and hope you will find solutions that are workable for you. Thank you for your support in purchasing my cookbook! I like blogs that introduce me to a person and I also like a good recipe. I am not interested in bloggers who want to make money out of my reading. You write, I read. Thanks for getting this far anyway.

Thank you for being a loyal reader. Julie, thank you so much for sharing this. I have been blogging since and I feel all the same things. I really miss the interaction I had with readers on social media. I stopped doing sponsored work this year because I felt like brands were trying to control too much of the narrative in the posts. Yeah, I was most happiest when I stopped doing brand work. The controlling demeanor and micromanagement and the pressure was all just too much. I love this post. As a blog reader of all types of blogs food, fashion, lifestyle, etc. I miss the more personal connections of days gone by.

I still love blogging but my focus has changed too. I post whenever I feel like it and you know what?

My new goal for this year is to stop even looking at traffic. I do hate how advertisers can make me feel incompetent because a post is not getting enough readers. My most popular posts are all the older ones, which I think makes sense but any advertiser expects instant results. And a gazillion views on a sponsored post.
