The thing people new to blogging always seem to ask is, how they can grow their following when they first start out and my answer is always the same; Twitter chats!
Not only are they a great way to get your blog noticed, but you can also meet some amazing people through them. I ended up meeting one of my best friends through blogging; Bella.
We’ve actually only met up once in person (something I hope to change this year!) but she’s been there for me through some pretty tough times; more so than a lot of the people I know in “real life”.
All that from a twitter chat.
Don’t get me wrong, they can be really intimidating to people with anxiety or people who find socialising hard.
I didn’t actually join in my first ever chat; I just sort of lurked around reading the threads and liking a few comments.
But it got me used to how they worked and made me feel a little more comfortable with them; so the next week I joined in and found that I actually enjoyed them.
My biggest problem with them though is that I forget when they’re taking place!
So I decided to create this scheduled my favourite chats. This way I can look each day which is on, at what time, and try and schedule some “me time” for that hour and take part.
Great idea, doesn’t always work out so well in reality; I actually forgot about yesterday’s GRLPOWR chat and it looked like a good one too!
I thought I’d make the schedule into a post, as I can’t be the only person who has trouble remembering when they’re on!

These are just some of my personal favourites, but if you know of any other chats that I’ve missed out; please feel free to share the time, day and hashtag in the comments and I’ll update the post to include them.
This is extremely helpful when, like me, you constantly forget which chat is when ha! A big thank you!

I really need to get myself a bullet journal! I’m glad you found the post helpful and good luck with your goal 😊 x
I didn’t know about any of those as I’m still finding my way with Twitter. I’ve taken notes xx

You’re welcome, glad to help! ☺️ even with this list I still end up forgetting but it’s the thought that counts I guess 😂🙈
I am forever missing blogger chats because I have no idea when they are on so I’m really happy that I found this post. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad to help lovely ☺️
I’m still finding my way around the blogging side of twitter so this post is really helpful!
Super helpful! I always seem to find the chats after they are over or halfway through! Saving this post for referencing later on!
Glad to help! ☺️
This is really helpful! I’m terrible with running late to chats, so this will hopefully keep me on time.
I hope it does help! 😊 I also set reminders on my phone too so that helps loads 🙊
Definitely bookmarking this! I always forget when they’re on! I have joined in quite a lot (I think that’s where I found you!) but since uni deadlines and work is busy for summer I completely forget when they’re on! Thanks!
Helpful post I always forget when chats are on. I love taking part in blogger chats you get to speak to some interesting people and make new friends. I havent took part in one for a while but I want to get back into them x

This is so great! Screenshotting this whole post. 😍
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it so helpful 🙂
This is one of the most useful resources I found so far! I am awful at remembering when things are on, so I’ve saved this and immediately shoved some of the ones I want to take part in next week into my diary! Thank you so much!
