So…what did you guys think of Mini-Alt Week? I’m guessing by the comments that you liked it, you really liked it!, and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me. I hope you’ll be able to refer back to this series of posts early and often, and that it not only helps you and inspires you, but that perhaps you’ll be able to make a connection with one of these bloggers too. For your reference, I created a category for all these posts, so they’ll all live at this URL. Bookmark it!
I’m back from Alt very late tonight, and will see you back here on Monday, when regular non-how-to-blog posting will re-commence. A lot of you heard about some very personal, exciting news that happened last Friday, and your patience will pay off — the full story will be told Monday.

Thank you for creating such a wonderful series! It has helped me immensely and answered so many questions I had.

Hello! I found this series of posts via Stripes and Sequins. I just started my own blog about life as a PR girl in NYC and will definitely read through all of these tips to help me get started. I’m also your newest follower. Happy Friday!

I have loved reading this series of posts and found each and every one of them really helpful! Thank you so much for putting this together! I’m also following your tweets about Alt Summit too, which have included some great tips. I’m checking out each of the girls you’ve had contribute to the series and I’m having a great time discovering new blogs that I love, especially yours! :D
I am in awe and in love with this post and this series. I am incredibly grateful that you asked these questions and took the time to share with us. We are lucky! Looking forward to hearing a ALT recap as well. xo
I loved this series so much… so much fun to read… have read each post at least twice now! Thanks for putting together such a fun series.
This is great! I just found your site from Paloma of Dolce Vita and Grace at Stripes and Sequins. I am a full time mom, part time student and never know how to make my blog a priority these days. Reading everyone’s comments made me realize we all go through the same stuff. Pressing on is what’s important. I’m going to follow you and read all your posts from this week!
so so so great. seriously some of the best content i’ve read in a while. thanks so much for compiling this. i’m sharing one of the mini alts on my blog today to spread the love! xo
Victoria,
This was such a mega awesome series – thank you so much for putting it together. I have totally needed something like this. I wonder if you could turn it into a mini e-book of some sort. Just a thought. Anyway, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I’m sure it was very time consuming but I found it extremely helpful and insightful.
Thanks again,
Casey xo
I really appreciate the time put into this series. I am new to blogging and found this to be very helpful. Thank you thank you thank you. I hope to follow your advice and grow my blog sucessfully.
Let’s just say that this series was by far one of the best I’ve read in a super long time!! Thank you to all of the incredible contributors on this piece for giving such thoughtful answers. As a fairly new blogger, it helps to know that others have had the same thoughts, questions, and hurdles! We truly are a community and that is why I love blogging SO much.
Thanks Victoria. Hope you had fun at Alt and enjoy a relaxing weekend!

Now, I’m not a style blogger, and don’t have to create outfits, but I never run out of inspiration. “I have nothing to write about” has never entered my mind once.
great advice all around!
Thank you so much for this series. It couldn’t have come at a better time. I have really taken to your advice and I feel I am already getting some new readers. There is a lot of work I need to do, but now I know what needs to be done. Thanks again!
Love this! Have learned so much from your posts, so thank you. And blogging IS a lot of work…but it’s so worth it. I’m in love with my community of new friends, who inspire me each and every day! xo
Victoria, this series is truly outstanding!! You and your blogging friends are incredibly generous to share your wisdom and experience. Since you all seem to be part of the same generation, it fills me with great joy for the world’s future. I really like your blog’s look, too…so visually attractive!! Keep up the great work, and congratulations on your engagement!! – Steph B’s Mom
Thanks so much for doing this! It is so interesting and helpful to hear other blogger’s story!
I am really enjoying your blog – xo

This is really great! I’m relatively new to blogging and it was so nice to hear people’s thoughts on things they’d wish they knew when, it definitely is giving me the push I need. Thanks for putting this together!
I’ve just recently started blogging and I’m so glad I found your blog! This is such a great series for us – newbie bloggers. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together and I will definitely be referring these pieces in the future!
Brilliant, interesting and helpful! Thanks for your time in putting it all together, much appreciated

Your hard work in compiling all of this awesome advice is so appreciated!!! I will definitely be bookmarking this, and linking back to you on my blog as well. I loved seeing that other bloggers feel/go through the same things I do. In a nutshell, we’re all in this together aren’t we? Thanks so much to you and all the contributors!
Thank you so much for including me in your Mini-Alt week post! So great to see you here in SLC but we def have to get together again in SF! Hope you have a safe flight back. xo

These have been so incredibly helpful, so many things I am actually embarrassed I didn’t know before. You have rounded up such a fantastic group of sources and I will refer to these for help from now on! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Brilliant series Victoria; I have loved hearing from other bloggers their ideas and tips and reading everyone’s comments too! Plus, I’ve discovered a few new blogs too, so thank you lady for putting this together! xx
This is fantastic!!!! This is so helpful!! Wao, and you put so much work into it. Fab! I really appreciated all the nuggets of wisdom that came out of the summit. I just learned about the summit ( a few weeks before) so obviously was not able to go this time around. I found out about your site from Molly (a piece of toast) and absolutely love it. I just started blogging (literally, I have 2 posts!) so all this info. is ideal. thanks again
a slight newbie here (almost one year now) and i feel i still have so much to learn. thanks for such an awesome series.
Thanks SO much for sharing this! Very inspiring.
Hi Victoria – I’m late on reading your mini-Alt week posts, I got a little overwhelmed after coming back from Salt Lake City! I just wanted to take a minute to say WOW what a great series! Very informative and it’s so good to hear from other bloggers. I think you perfectly summarized each topic, it’s very well presented and there is lots to learn. Thank you for taking the time to do this (I can easily imagine this was a lot of work!) and I look forward to keep on following your blog.
i went to alt and i still found this series helpful – loved it! would love to see more like it !
