Trecura doi ani. Asa cum vrura ei sa treaca… nu comentez. Stilul nu mi s-a schimbat, sunt la fel de buna. 😛 Dar mi s-a schimbat perceptia asupra online-ului. In primul an faceam totul cu incrancenare. Ma suparam, sufeream atunci cand articolele nu aveau impact. Acum… nu imi pasa. 🙂 Articolele sunt o prelungire naturala a existentei. Tinutele sunt cele in care decid sa ies din casa in ziua shooting-ului. (In afara de cazurile cand exista o colaborare. Atunci ma imbrac conform.) De ce mi-au trebuit 2 ani de blogging ca sa ajung aci? Nu stiu, si tanjesc dupa timpul pierdut. Sau nu..?

Cred ca procesul de maturizare al blogger-ului trebuie sa existe. Trebuie sa existe tepe, oprelisti si dragii de hateri. Fara ei… online-ul ar fi sterp, rectiliniu. Adica, in moarte clinica. 😉 Am sa vorbesc putin despre fiecare aspect in parte… Astazi, fiind editie aniversara, vorbim mai putin de moda si mai mult de viata.

Cele mai multe tepe au venit de pe Instagram. „Ne place mult feed-ul tau, am vrea sa colaboram. Lasa-ne un mesaj.” Primesc zilnic texte de acest fel. Am facut greseala sa raspund la 2 dintre ele si fiecare s-a dovedit a fi o inselatorie.
Prima data am platit 39 Euro (plus 8 transportul) pe o pereche de ochelari de soare. Nu au ajuns niciodata la mine. Mi se propunea un cod de reducere de 20% pe care sa il ofer urmaritorilor mei, practic cei 20% urmand sa intre in contul meu de Paypal. Evident, am fost fascinata. Stiam ca multe blogger-ite pe care le urmaresc aveau acest tip de colaborari, deci parea ceva probat. Nici nu mai stiu cum se numeste magazinul online de la care am achizitionat ochelarii… ma credeti? Probabil nici nu mai exista.
O a doua teapa, data la un cu totul alt nivel, s-a intamplat acum 2 luni. Am gasit o reclama cum ca magazinul Elora Jewelry cauta ambasadori. Am aplicat si surpriza: m-au acceptat! Pe mine si pe alte cateva mii de nefericite… 🙂 Puteam achizitiona 5 produse (!) gratis, trebuia sa platim doar transportul. Pentru ca nu mi-a mirosit  bine din start, am cumparat doar un colier. Era listat la uriasul pret de 209.9$. Am platit 8 Euro transportul, atat.
Acesta a ajuns la mine. Mai bine nu ajungea… 🙂  O tinichea ieftina cu o perla de plastic! Platesti 209$ pe o perla de plastic! Evident, nu am cum sa promovez acel produs… Dar, promit ca il voi poza pentru articolul urmator. 😉

Am tinut sa povestesc aceste esecuri ale vietii de blogger mai ales pentru Madalina. Am cunoscut-o sambata, este o admiratoare si cititoare de-a mea. 🙂 Mare grija, draga mea! 😉

Despre oprelisti… sa tot vorbesc. De la cele de ordin material, la cele de ordin tehnic. Dar ele apar oriunde si in orice, nu sunt eu mai speciala. In continuare, nu investesc in publicitate pentru ca nu am bani pentru asta. Prefer sa pastrez banii pentru haine, cosmetice si alte servicii. O sa ziceti … „hai ma, nici macar 50 de lei pe luna?” Nope, zero barat. Reach-ul pe care il am vine strict din postarile in social media si din cunaoastrea anumitor elemente de CEO. Atat. Iar cand persoane influente mi-au distribuit articolele, asa cum s-a intamplat in cazul celor despre TFW, am avut parte de boom la capitolul accesari. Sharing is for real… caring, folks! Vreti sa ajutati? Distribuiti! 😉

Nu am multi Hateri, iar cei care sunt au motive personale independente de blog. Comenteaza aiurea, fara legatura. Mai exista categoriile de oameni care nu ma inteleg. Nu imi vorbesc limba. Vad prin mine ca prin sticla. Nimic nu ramane, nimic nu ii misca. Acestia ma „frustreaza” cel mai tare. 🙂 Cum adica sa nu ma vezi pe MINE?? 🙂 😛 Sunt cei care la propozitia precedenta isi spun „ia uite-o si pe asta, parca a inventat gaura la macaroana…nu altceva!” 🙂
Le spun: „pe blogul meu, eu sunt si gaura si macaroana… si bucatele si sarea… si luna si marea…” Aici nu e democratie. Ii invit cu tot respectul sa faca o vizita la oftalmolog. 😛
„Ci eu in lumea mea ma simt
Nemuritor si rece.”

La multi ani, Stil’ish Tribe! 😛 Va pup tare si apasat!

It’s been two years. And they passed just the way they wanted… not comment. Style has not changed, I’m just as good. 😛 But my perception upon the online world has changed. In the first year, everything I did was a struggle. I was upset, I suffered when my articles did not reach enough gents. Now … I do not care. 🙂 Articles are a natural extension of my existence. A blog outfit is the one in which I decide to leave the house on a shooting day. (Except for the ones I prepare for a collaboration. Then I dress accordingly.) Why I needed 2 years of blogging to get to this? I do not know, and I long for the lost time. Or not..?

I think the blogger’s maturing process must exist. There must be scams, hardship and the dear haters. Without all of those … the online would be tasteless, rectilinium. I mean, in clinical death. I will talk a little about each aspect… Today, being an anniversary edition, we talk less about fashion and more of life.

Most scams came from Instagram. „We love your feed, we want to collaborate. Leave us a message.” I get texts of this kind on daily basis. I made the mistake of answering 2 of them and each proved to be a scam.
The first time, I paid 39 Euros (plus 8 for transport) on a pair of sunglasses. They never came to me. I was offered a 20% discount code to give my followers, basically the 20% would have entered my Paypal account. Obviously, I was fascinated. I knew that many bloggers I was following in social media had this type of collaboration, so it seemed like something solid. I do not even know what the online store  is called … Do you believe me? Probably it does not even exist anymore.
A second one, of a different kind, happened two months ago. I found an advertisement that the Elora Jewelry store is looking for ambassadors. I applied. For my surprise, they accepted me! Me and several other thousands unlucky girls … 🙂 We could buy 5 products (!) for free, we had to pay only for transport. Because it did not „smell good” from the start, I only bought one necklace. It was listed at the huge amont of 209.9 $. I paid only 8 Euros for transport.
It came to me. It would have been better to get lost on the way … 🙂 A cheap tin, with a plastic pearl! You pay $ 209 for plastic pearl!! Obviously, I can not promote that product … But I promise, I’ll take photos of it for the next article. 😉

About the hardship … I can keep on talking. Starting with the material ones, to the technical ones. But they appear everywhere and in everything, I’m not special. For example, I do not invest in advertising because I have no money for it. I prefer to invest my money in clothes, cosmetics and other services. Will you say … „come on, not even 10 Euros a month?” Nope, zero. The reach I’m getting comes out of the Social Media posts and out of some CEO elements I try to keep in mind when writing. And when influential people shared my articles, as happened in the case of TFW ones (Timisoara Fashion Week), I had a boom in reach department. Sharing is for real … caring, folks! Do you want to help? Share! 😉

I do not have many Haters, and the ones I have, are for personal reasons, not from blogging. They leave inappropriate comments, out of topic.There are also the people who do not understand me. They do not speak my language. They see through me like glass. Nothing remains, nothing moves them. They  „frustrate” me the most. 🙂 What do you mean, you do not see ME? 🙂 😛 These are the ones who at the previous sentence say „take a look at her, as she invented the hole in the macaroni ..!” 🙂
I say to them: „On my blog, I am the hole and macaroni … and the meal and the salt … and the moon and the sea …” This is not democracy. I invite them all, with all due respect to a visit the ophthalmologist. 😛

Immortal and cold. ”
