Hi All, I’m just requesting a little feedback. I haven’t received any comments in recent weeks (months?) on my posts aside from the survey, which wasn’t really my post, and the creator herself was the one who commented (Hi Bellatrix!). I know that holiday preparations have got us all busy, but I’m wondering too if my posts have been interesting or helpful in any way. Since I am one busy gal, like many of you are, unfortunately I cannot post content everyday.
But I do believe in quality over quantity, so when I do post I give posts a lot of thought and research and try to avoid rambling (am I successful?) and quick, marketing-oriented updates that tell you about a new product or company. Just as in my life, I endeavor to take a more holistic approach, to think beyond the surface and produce content that could potentially be referenced later.
Even now, I meant this to be a quick note for feedback, but there I go. I want this blog to be useful, to matter, because that gives me the fuel to keep it going. If there are any areas for which you’d like to see more content, please let me know. If there’s anything working well or not working well, let me know that too. Feel free to comment anonymously or to write me directly at scentualsoundtracks {AT} gmail {DOT} com. I’m considering discontinuing this blog, but I have really enjoyed it and meeting you all as well . If it is discontinued, I thank you all for reading, whether or not you have commented.
Again Bellatrix haha.
Also, many times there is nothing to comment – just to enjoy in descriptions, thoughts and other reflections from you and other bloggers. Most of the time, bloggers write about fragrances that I’ve never tried so I have nothing to contribute, unfortunately.
I don’t know about others but I can tell you that I usually read almost all perfumes blogs via my cell phone and it is almost impossible to leave comments like that.
I hope not receiving a lot of comments won+t discourage you to continue with writing…
I can only speak for myself, but would like to see posts related to natural and organic cosmetics, even if DIY. Perhaps also information on the harmful ingredients found in cosmetics.
Don´t think you should discontinue your blog. There’s always someone who read even if don´t say a word.
Hugs from Portugal!
Hi, I didn’t start reading your blog til the Bellatrix survey post, but I like that your posts are more thought-out and are not just marketing some product you’ve barely used once. I don’t mind that the posts are infrequent, I’ll check them out as you write them! An email alert notifies me when there’s new content so I know when to check. I think there’s a place for a blog like yours and hope you consider keeping it up.
Hey, now why would you go and do something like stop blogging? I read the blog all the time because it comes in my E mail and I read it from my phone at work so I don’t get to leave comment. So no all your research and hard work are not gone unnoticed, I know it may be like no one is reading but more times it’s just a release for me and I do it out of love when I can do it. I notice that people who get comments in the plentiful it’s like they blog for a living now tell me who can put out 5 post in one day come on. So if you love doing it keep it going if not :’( yes it will make me cry.
Thank you all for your comments. Sometimes without them it’s easy to lose perspective and wonder whether your efforts are making a difference. With or without comments, that’s something that I should never doubt when my head and heart are in the right place. Thank you for reminding me of that.
i know this might be a bit late but better late than never
i read your posts although i rarely comment ’cause like everybody else, i read using my phone most of the time.
the only problem i’m having–not sure if it’s just me–is that i find it hard to read white text against black background especially when the post is lengthy. Usually, since your posts are filled with lots of useful stuff, they are on the text-heavy side–and i love it that way–but it hurts my eyes after a while and I need to take a break or look at something else before continuing to read the rest of the entry. But in terms of content, I really have nothing negative to say! I appreciate the effort you put into writing and researching each of your posts.
Vivi, thanks so much for your feedback. I will definitely change the theme of my blog so that the background is lighter and the text is black. I appreciate your honesty — I did read on another blog that this kind of theme can be hard on the eyes. I’m glad that you’re enjoying the content and I don’t want anything to get in the way of that!
