The Bliss Bean | How I started & grew my YouTube channel | my blogging story π° @TheBlissBean | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Time to get sentimental, eat some cake, and review my journey with The Bliss Bean π° If you want to start your own blog, head to squarespace.com/theblissbean to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code THEBLISSBEAN.
It's been just over 3 years since I since I started The Bliss Bean - I posted my first post on July 12, 2017, and since then it's been a long journey of growth and learning and creativity and FUN. I wonder sometimes if The Bliss Bean would exist if it weren't for that first blog in 7th grade, but I feel like blogging just fits my interests so well that it would have inevitably happened one way or another Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Either way, I'm so happy I started this and that I stuck with it for this long, and if I have any advice to you who is watching this, it would be to just START. If you're thinking about starting, just give it a shot. It doesn't have to become your career or anything like that. They key to growth is practice, and blogging will give you consistent practice in all the skills it requires - writing, photography, videography, social media, etc., it'll help you explore your interests, and it's a great thing to bring up at internship interviews (I speak from experience π).
Thank you so much for your support on this journey, and here's to many more years and milestones! π»
