Hello everyone, and especially you new anibloggers! Huh, what’s this I can hear you all thinking right now. Well this is a post directed especially at new anibloggers, but it’s also meant to give a bit of shameless promotion to one blogger in particular, but more on that later. For all you veteran bloggers out there, do you remember what it was like when you started your own blog, weeks, months, or maybe even years ago? I know that I do for sure. I had literally no idea what I was doing. One sunday morning I got this crazy idea to start a blog about one of my greatest passions: movies and television series. When I published my first post, I was amazed that there were people that even read it. What was even more fun, is that eventually people even started commenting on later posts. At first I felt a bit like the character above this post: shy as hell. But eventually I got over my fears and started commenting on other people’s posts and it was a lot of fun. Blogging has since then become one of my greatest hobbies, and it has grown into a part of my life that I can’t live without anymore.
But before this turns into a post about me, let me tell you what the real point of this one is. Remember that shameless promotion I was talking about for a particular blogger? Well here it comes. Ever since I started blogging my love for anime has returned, and I keep stumbling across new blogs for this wonderful medium every week. Most recently I discovered Irina’s wonderful aniblog called I drink and watch anime (the title alone is just reason enough to start following her). Seriously though, her blog has skyrocketed for the past few weeks, and deservedly so. She has awesome reviews, but is also a very kind person to talk to, and always takes the time to respond to a comment you left for her.
Today though, she came with an absolutely wonderful idea, that I just had to promote. She is reaching out to any aniblogger that has just started out by featuring some of their new posts. In other words she is creating a platform to showcase your work if you have just started blogging. Now if that isn’t awesome and enormously kind, I really don’t know what is. You can find out more about this by checking out her own post for this right here . Now if you haven’t already of course go and follow her blog as well, and I promise you won’t regret it. So on a personal note: I think it is an awesome and seriously cool idea you had here Irina, so I wish you all the best with the execution of it. If you ever need more help for this: let me know!. Well I guess that is enough shameless promotion for one post lol, but I definitely meant every word of it. Well, all you new anibloggers out there: best of luck, and remember this: blogging is awesome, as you will discover soon enough!
First thank you so so much and second we need more Raistlin origin stories. This was such an awesome post!

What a neat idea. Getting your blog noticed is a real struggle. I have no idea how some people manage to attract thousands of followers. My site is several years old and only attracts around twenty likes per post haha.
I’ll be sure to check out her blog. Kids – remember to drink responsibly. I avoid consuming alcohol whilst watching TV. Given how much anime I watch my liver would not appreciate booze with every episode.

Haha, yeah it definitely surprises me too at times. Some blogs that just started out, manage to get more than 100-200 followers in a period of a week or something. It certainly baffles me too. But I don’t mind. I’m just having fun writing new posts,and sure I love it when I attract new followers, but at the moment I’m already amazed at the amount I currently have, and the people that take time to read them, much less comment on them like yourself. I always think that is seriously cool.
No lol, I don’t drink myself: not because I have any objections to it, but I just don’t like the taste of it. As for her blog: it’s a truly terrific blog: I think you will definitely like it 😀

Hi…just letting you know that apparently the comments issue that I am having, is happening to you as well. I just found this comment together with another comment from you in my spamfilter. So …that;s why I did not see it until now. As for your comment: yeah it really is a great idea. Hopefully it will give new bloggers a great chance and encourage them as well 😀

Ah yes, I noticed that some of my comments, on some sites (but not all) are getting swallowed by the spam thing- this happens to randomly that I get lazy about sorting it out, I need to tweet about it or mention it in a post or something for the blogs effected 😉 I think it’s just a reminder that it’s good to check the spam folders once in a while 😉 Yes!! 😀

This is so cool! I can’t say I’m an aniblogger but I’m passionate about anime and love reading reviews from other people. So I’ll definitely check Irina’s blog out (you’re right, the title alone is epic! hahaha)
I like to keep my blog open subject-wise, so I can freely post about anything. So far I’ve been focused on books but I do want to dabble on other stuff sometime soon 🙂 I like that you seem to be doing the same ^^
Lovely to see bloggers supporting other bloggers! You both rock 😀

Yeah, it really is an amazing idea, so I simply had to promote this one. It is very often that new bloggers just struggle to get noticed and may stop way too soon because of this. Hopefully this idea will get them noticed more and hopefully prevent talented writers from quitting too fast. Looking forward to seeing what you are going to dabble in. Whatever it will be, I know it will be awesome 😀😀
