One of the questions in my recent Reader Q&A was whether you had any blogging or business related questions for me, and you guys sent so many awesome questions my way that I want to be able to answer a few of the most frequently asked today. If you have any more questions, blogging related or not, feel free to ask them in the comments as I'd love to make this a more regular feature!

A super interesting question someone asked me in my recent Reader Q&A was how they could build trust with their readership. It really started me thinking about this idea, and how I've always prioritised trust and an authentic relationship with my readers since starting up this blog in 2013. With all the opportunities available to online content creators these days, it's understandable why some readers are trusting opinions and bloggers motives less and less. If you're looking to build trust with your readership, I want to share today four steps I've found that make all the difference:

First up, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who answered my first ever Reader Q&A that went live last weekend - over 100 of you shared your awesome feedback and it was so nice to be able to get to know you guys a little better. Overall everything was super positive and supportive - though of course I was super excited and open to hear any constructive feedback I could learn from as well. It was so nice to have an insight into your lives and your experience of this little online space and I want to share today some of the biggest things I've taken away from your feedback:

I believe in dreaming big, raising the bar, and pursuing a life you love, though taking the road less travelled and forging your own path is never for the faint of heart. I spoke a little more in depth about my own journey Taking The Road Less Travelled a few months back, and today I wanted to share five things I like to remember when it comes to pursuing my dreams and building a life I love:

So I'm a little late putting this one together but I'm so excited to share with you guys the awesome advertisers who were on the Jennypurr sidebar in November. From awesome blogs to online shops, there's something for everyone and I really recommend clicking through and getting to know these guys as they're creating some seriously awesome content and products that I think you will love.

I truly believe the biggest thing standing in the way of our own happiness is ourselves. Back in September I shared a post asking What's Holding You Back? and shared a few ways I'm planning on getting out of my own way. Since then I've been digging deep and really trying to quit being my own worst enemy, and slowly but surely I'm getting there. For anyone else who feels like their biggest obstacle to overcome is actually themselves and their own self doubt, here are four ways I try and get out of my own way:

There are two types of blogs I really love; a super focused and niche specific blog where I go to for expert advice, and varied and creative online spaces with an awesome mix of content throughout the week. Though I do have specific categories I focus on with this space, I like to try and keep things varied throughout the week with different formats and types of posts. It can be a challenge at times to keep coming up with fresh and engaging content, and I've never met a fellow blogger before who hasn't at least once experienced the dreaded blogger slump. A question asked quite a few times in my recent Reader Q&A was how do I keep coming up with ideas for content, so for any fellow content creators I thought today I'd share ten ways I try to keep my content fresh and varied throughout the week:

Whenever I stumble across an awesome blog that I fall in love with I'm always so, so, excited to share it with you guys as nothing makes me happier than this awesome online community we're all a part of. I've shared many favourites in the past here and here, and today I wanted to share eight awesome blogs I've stumbled across recently that I think you guys will really love:

It's almost been 18 months since I graduated from university and I think I've grown more as a person within that time than I did during my three years studying for my degree. Even though it was tough at times, I still cherish those three years as a time to be a pretend grown up and find myself a little and where I belong in this big old world. Post graduate life left me feeling lost, anxious, and overwhelmed at the pressure to get my life together and today I want to share five things I would love to go back and tell myself if I could:
