I take selfies for a living.

August 13, 2014 by SouthernBeautyGuide Leave a Comment

Being a blogger, especially a beauty blogger has changed my social media game. Prior to the start of my blogging days, I only used Facebook. However, blogging changed this quite a bit. There are so many promotions and blogging bits that I found I needed to use multiple social media accounts. 

I was never one, even in my collegiate sorority days, to take tons of selfies. I am sure most of you know exactly what a selfie is due to it being so common, but if you don’t here is a Google Definition.

I find that I post selfies of myself daily on my instagram account. I use to get so many questions about what makeup I was wearing that I found an easy way to share it would be on instagram via a selfie. Taking selfies is a big part of my #bloggerlife as well due to having to promote sponsored post items. Most of the time when I post a selfie, I have “welcome to my face” running through my mind. 

I know a few weeks ago I even posted this picture, which was a whole different level of posting a selfie. Don’t worry this was a special occasion showing this mask that I was sent to review. 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I post just selfies. Blogging mostly about beauty causes me to buy more products and share them as well, which causes more posts. Looking at my instagram account alone I couldn’t believe that I have over 500 pictures, which many are selfies. I never realized how much I post on instagram and used selfies to promote my blog posts. 
It is definitely something I associate with blogging. I find there are many things that blogging has pushed me to do that I would not have done otherwise. I know realize that I do take selfies for a living. It continuously is how I get paid or blogging opportunities, and I am okay with that. I do recognize the importance for social media posts and I encourage bloggers to use social media as well. I find I often pick up new readers and make new friends based on social media posts. 
I never imagined life would be like this, but I’m okay with that. Is this something you have found to be true about you as well?
