A really cute email I received sparked this post. Though by writing this I am incriminating myself for all the emails I never got to replying to. (Oops!!) I don’t really get a lot of “professional” emails, if that’s what you were expecting from this post. This is just a fun glimpse into my blogging life.
- Cutest emails – Snehal reached out to me to wish me for friendships day and it is her email that sparked this post. It was such a cute email and made me feel so good. I often forget to count the blogging friends when I think about friends but honestly its them that got me through the craziness of the last one year.
- Concerned emails – A bunch of my friends reached out during the COVID second wave in India to make sure I was okay and it was so sweet and really really made me feel good on some bleak days.
- Blogging Tips – These emails embarrass me the most since I literally don’t know anything about growing a blog. I usually throw in the words SEO and DA and guide them to Shelly’s blog from where I originally learnt these words. 😀
- Collab posts – I love getting these emails but to be honest I’m not the easiest to collab with since my creativity and schedule is very erratic. (PS: if I don’t know you at all, I probably won’t reply to these emails – I am just very socially awkward) Check out my recent collab with Tia!
- Blogger Interviews – I’m not the biggest fan of getting asked to be interviewed – I really don’t have any answers for generic blogger growth questions and I also find it awkward to say no.
- Building Backlinks – These ones always intrigued me and I agree to most of them because well, it isn’t too much work adding a link. But now that I have my own website that I am trying to grow – I understand the benefits. So, if any of you kind people would like to help me with this – that would be great! ❤
- Reviewing books – I honestly feel bad including this one because I have gotten a few requests to review books but I have never responded to them because I honestly read so sporadically. I literally pick up a book on a free day and finish reading it the same day and on those days I never remember these requests.
- Writing articles – I feel privileged to have been asked to write for a few publications but to be honest, never got time to submit articles because between writing for a publication and writing here – I choose here (you guys owe me). Just kidding! I just feel like my creativity flows better on here when I write with no pressure to write. But I am going to take up these offers to write in the future.
The mails I look forward to get are brand emails from my favourite brands wanting to work with me or just to give me free stuff – here is hoping I get them soon. 😀 What are your favourite blogging emails that you look forward to?

It true, creativity is best when it flows unbridled, by own choice. Btw I too feel socially awkward promoting self.

Right? Even though I’ve been asked to write on topics I like but I still find it hard to write in a given deadline about a fixed topic.
Same – so so socially awkward! But the good thing is that if you interact with enough bloggers on here – you wouldn’t need need to promote your blog. 🙂

Great idea for a post! I don’t actually have my contacts listed on my page (although it’s not top secret though) because, like you, I’m a bit awkward and fear someone I don’t know very well or someone requests a collab that I don’t know how to decline lol… Sounds a bit over confident (like, okay not everyone wants to collab with bosssybabe, c’mon!, but hopefully you get what I mean lol).. So far it’s been good, people have gotten my email by asking in my private comments section and I haven’t had any awkward encounters 🙂

I think I make interactions more awkward by not replying at all to emails I don’t want to. 😀
I am sure a lot of people want to collab with you! I do too! Hopefully soon! ❤

1 year into blogging no collaboration yet. Not that I haven’t received any requests but it’s awkward for me to correct someone whom I don’t know in person.
Though I’m looking forward to this.
It’s so good that you’re getting publication requests. Not everyone’s cup of tea.

I get what you mean – collabs are hard! Me and Tia sent each other like 40 emails before getting this collab out. Which is why I choose to collaborate with friends – since it is easier to tell them what is on your mind. 🙂

I loved your concerned mail during COVID times! It really made me feel so good. So thank you again for that! ❤
And hey, I mailed you about a post! I just never got to writing that post – but I am planning to soon! I got really great inputs and then just lost the plotline of the post. But I have a new angle now.
And comments mean so much more since someone actually took time to read what you wrote.

😂🧡This is cuteness & hilarity packed in one😘Omg it’s been four years I am blogging and all the times I have opened my email to get brand offers -but never! Where’s audible at? I would like some free books please😂
On a serious note, do take up on the writing offers though (if it’s worthwhile) they are quite beneficial for blogging! xx

When starting with blogging related emails or newsletters, you find yourself surrounded with too much stuff.

Hahaha I hear you completely
I’ve recently started writing for a publication and I’m excited. I was the one who approached them though just to make a bit of money.
My only concern is how I kind of neglected my blog and I felt do guilty😆😆😆. Honestly soeaking if I was to choose, I would definitely choose to write on my blog always. Less pressure and its just enjoyable
