Blogger Recognition Award for Nandyz Soulshine

It’s been a wonderful and awesome week. I got nominated for not one, but two blog awards…yay!! The Blogger Recognition Award followed closely by the Sunshine Blogger Award. I am hugely honored to receive them both. Tina and Jimmy Durham of Durham’s Love, Life and Travel nominated Nandyz Soulshine for the Blogger Recognition Award. I have been following their blog for a while now and love the way they present their travel experience. The variety of keto diet recipes available on their blog is just amazing! Thank you Tina and Jimmy Durham for nominating me.

The Rules for The Blogger Recognition Award are:

• Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog
• Write a post to show your award
• Give a brief story of how your blog started
• Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers
• Select 15 other bloggers you want to give this award to
• Comment on each blog and let them know you have nominated them and provide the link to the post you created.

How My Blog Started:

I had been geared towards leading a more close-to-nature life for a while. Looking for advice and tips that would work, I came across an amazing lot of really helpful ideas. Writing had always been a thing close to my heart and I had been dabbling in freelance writing for some time. Both these clicked together and the wonderful idea of creating a blog to motivate people towards a natural approach to holistic wellbeing was born.

Being not even a year old, Nandyz Soulshine is still evolving. But, the ultimate goal is to turn it into a font of information and motivation. The driving force is promotion of mental and physical wellbeing whether through health tips, motivational soul talk, humor or art.

Advice to New Bloggers:

I feel I am yet too inexperienced on this platform to offer any sagacious advice to relatively new bloggers. But, I surely can share my ‘learnings’ till now. The most important thing for a blog to go anywhere is streamlined effort. Your blog’s niche, tone, audience, promotion should all be well-defined and focussed. Trying to cover too many things at any given time can be overwhelming and counter-productive.

Last, but not the least, and may be the most important one – quality content creation and persistent promotion should go hand in hand.

It’s a great feeling to be recognized and supported by other bloggers. Not only does it boost the morale but also offers great opportunities for connecting with other like-minded souls.
