Sarah-Elizabeth took the @nzblogger twitter account reigns this week, talking about social media and blogging! Sarah-Elizabeth blogs over at The Spanish Bluebell, a lifestyle blog which boasts great posts about life, beauty and so much more.
Kicking the chat off just after 8pm we dove straight into it!
@NZbloggers Twitter, youtube and pinterest. Most popular so far has been twitter but I think pinterest and/or youtube will be #nzbloggers

@NZbloggers I use them all on the daily, but I love Instagram! — Cass (@cassandramyee) April 12, 2015
Q1 @NZbloggers Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. Twitter is my most popular #nzbloggers

@NZbloggers Twitter and Instagram. Trying to up my Facebook game #nzbloggers — Emma Gorowski (@EmmaGorowski) April 12, 2015
@NZbloggers I use twitter, and to an extent instagram and tumblr. Twitter is definitely the one I get the most engagement from #nzbloggers
— Chelsea Lora (@chelsealora93) April 12, 2015
It looks like Twitter and Instagram are most #nzbloggers favourites / most popular and that comes down to interaction and response – which is totally fair, I think Facebook falls behind a bit when their algorithms are constantly changing and you just don’t know how many of your likers are actually seeing your posts.
@NZbloggers I found that posting regularly, at least 5 times a week, and using hashtags helped a whole lot on insta. — Jordanne Leigh (@MissJordyLeigh) April 12, 2015

@NZbloggers Posting consistently, in terms of timing, content, vibe. However I don’t do this as well as I’d like #timepoor #NZbloggers — Sara Satterthwaite (@BusinessBF) April 12, 2015
@NZbloggers With FB it is all about post timing. Plus sometimes I boost my posts, which brings in new followers #nzbloggers

@NZbloggers On twitter following new people, but also making sure you engage with them & participating in group chats like #nzbloggers — tane (@taneb) April 12, 2015
Connecting, engaging, timing and giving the people what they want were popular answers for this question. Perhaps there is a lesson in that 😉 ?
@NZbloggers not thinking before I type- & not walking away sooner from online drama- worst #nzbloggers

@NZbloggers Facebook engagement I think, coming up with posts that are relevant and engaging. Much more confident with Twitter. #nzbloggers — Jordanne Leigh (@MissJordyLeigh) April 12, 2015
@NZbloggers I’m always checking my feeds but I’m terrible at posting consistently! #creeper #nzbloggers
— Chelsea Lora (@chelsealora93) April 12, 2015
@NZbloggers time!! So busy right now, but life stuff will always beat blog stuff for me #nzbloggers — Natasha | SweetMamaM (@Mamamsosweet) April 12, 2015
@NZbloggers I guess having time. And coming across the way I actually mean. Like not being OTT or seeming fake.
