This is the new edition of powerful, successful and inspirational interviews in the series of Journey of a Professional Blogger, interviews on EASKME.com.
Today we are going to publish interview with a professional Blogger, Interview with Karen Woodham .
Q : Please share about yourself and your story to enter in blogging?Ans : I started blogging back in 2008, it was one of those moments when everyone was banging on about blogging and telling me that I should give it a go, so I did. What started off as a something that I wasn't overly sure about soon started to start to get the snowball effect.
After writing a review at my local cinema, the managers asked me to do the reviews of the latest movies being shown, this went on for a while and then this lead to working with the local theater for their reviews, then everything changed.
Event organizers started getting in touch for coverage of their shows, at this point I met up with a photographer and we started working together at the events, I did the words he did the pictures. This gave me the chance to work with some amazing people and to meet some big names in the entertainment industry, interview them and with become friends with the majority of them.
To this day, I'm still writing reviews for film, theater and events, after winning a UK Blog Award in 2015 more work started to come in from many companies and now I'm working alongside some pretty big film companies that allow me to get much more interesting, entertainment, news on to the blog.
Q. How the idea to make your own blog came in your mind? How you found the right people to develop it and what big obstacles you faced?
Ans. As I mentioned earlier, the blog was started just to see what all the fuss was about and to see if it would be any fun, and boy is it fun. I've never really looked back since starting Blazing Minds, yes there may have been those moments in the first 12 months (which is usually where people give up) that had me thinking is all this time and effort really worth it, but the answer was always yes.
Since 2008, I've met some amazing fellow bloggers and many of them have always been available when I need to ask some questions, be it for design, tips to promote the blog to the right audience and even for issues that may arise from plugins that may decide to cause that "white screen of death" that a lot of Wordpress bloggers have come across at some point in their blogging life.
Not sure there have been any big obstacles that I have have had to face, sometimes time can be a bit of a problem, trying to do events, several trips a week to the cinema and theatre as well as the check discs for upcoming movies to review, does take up a lot of my time.
