So recently I have looked at other social media platforms out there, some I have been on and some I haven’t, as it would be great to share my posts in other ways.
I have been blogging pretty much anonymously until recently, I did not tell my close family until last year and have only told a handful of friends in recent months. I didn’t want the attention whilst I blogged as some posts had opinions and feelings I wasn’t really comfortable with sharing. But I am now coming out of my blogger shell more and wanting to share my posts with others, especially now my blog has been documenting the amazing trips and experiences I have been having.
For that reason I have linked to both my Instagram and Twitter. Instagram I have had for a number of years and Twitter since… 1pm today. I currently have 0 followers there and would like to increase that by a couple.
My Instagram is @samest89 if anyone would like to follow
My Twitter is @octstw, an acronym for my new blog title.
Thank you if you have already stepped into my Insta world and gave a like or a follow, these are both HUUUUUUGE platforms to be on so it is only sensible I make an appearance on both and try to make my way on these sites. The majority of posts and pictures you will see will stem from my blog, and I hope you stop by to say hello at some point.
In the upcoming months these will gain momentum, now is a great time to follow as these will start to bloom soon.
Watch this space! (well, over at Instagram and Twitter)…
Thank you again to all my followers and regular readers, and hello to you if you are new to my blog!

I think it’s a good idea to expand a bit, blogger or writer. Not everyone feels it’s necessary, but the few who take the leap often make it far.
Good luck Sam👍

I blog more or less anonymously, too. I never mention real names on my blog and even edit other people’s comments if they name anyone. I also only tell a handful of real life friends about my blog, mainly because I am embarrassed about the content. “I write a blog about my cat. Look out for next week’s entry about flea treatment! Woo-hoo!” Cat people would get it. Most normal people would just roll their eyes.

Haha I know what you mean about blog content xD some people love to share and it just hasn’t been me. I am glad I am not the only one!

Hehehe! I don’t mind the idea of friends knowing what the content is, but it’s more the awkward conversation when they ask and I have to tell them. “Last week’s entry was all about how I tilted his cat bed around by 45 degrees.” And they look at me all wide-eyed, like, “Oh wow! That’s so … lame.”

I dont have Instagram or Twitter…. maybe I have to rethink about that… In Norway Instagram is popular and snapshat has become very very popular and «big» here. Bloggers are using snapshat often and much…
You and me, we are a bit like when it comes to mind, I can recognize myself in what you are writing, a little bit strange..you downunder and me- not too far away from the North Pole😊
Have a nice day🌸

Great news! I’ve just followed you on instagram! I did create a twitter account but I haven’t managed to get into using it yet…hopefully one day 🙂 I’m still blogging anonymously and only a couple of my friends know that I’m doing it. I prefer it that way at the moment, it makes it easier somehow!

Following you on Instagram now. I finally just set up a business Facebook account yesterday to try and help build brand awareness (blog, vintage shop, etc). Ugh, it hurt to do it. I’m not a fan of FB but it’s such a necessary evil.
