Some very funny, random things happened to me this week, and I thought I should share them with y’all…
- I read about this Peek User Testing website on Twitter some days ago and the Curious George in me decided to try it out for myself. I submitted my URL on the site and got the results via email, few hours later and boy was it funny. The ‘random’ person had no clue really, she couldn’t even make up her mind on whether she thought my blog was interesting or not (using her own words). She spent about 2 minutes trying to make up her mind on whether my blog was about fashion or trends, LMAO. It was the funniest thing ever. I wish I could share the video of the results but I can’t. You can get your blog analysed by them just for laughs, Google Peek User Testing and the site should pop up. Warning: do not tak the ‘random’ analyst too seriously.
- PRs and Brands taking the piss like literally. Asking for EVERYTHING and MORE for peanuts in return, and when I say peanuts, I mean money too small, you can do little or nothing with in the UK, say £20. I once had a brand somewhere in China, offer to pay me $13 and had the audacity to say she was offering me a good deal, as she usually pays bloggers $3, I was like what? I guess we bloggers will continue to be taken advantage off until we know our worth and take a stand. I personally have taken a stand, I stopped playing a fool a long time ago.
- A dog trying to steal my shine while taking an outfit post. It was hilarious, the dog tried to jump on me in the middle of the photoshoot, lol…
- I have my first laser treatment booked in for this week and I am excited but at the same time nervous. I will fill you in on that soon, so keep reading.
So there are my random happenings of the week. Share yours in the comment section and let’s have a giggle.
Thanks for reading.
That peek user thing sounds intriguing, never heard of it! Would like to use it just for the laugh to see what I find… 🙂
Yea you should. It is the funniest thing ever..
hahaha funny post STella 🙂
Thanks Kathleen.
I am sorry but I actually laughed out loud at the dog bit oh dear! x
It was a funny sight Sarah, lol..
Nice post, Stella! Different and refreshing. LOL about that dog, though. But it’s still such a cutie!! All the best with the laser treatment hun! About those PRs and brands, ughhh. I’ve been getting that too. I’m right beside you on the stand-taking!
The dog was a funny situation, lol..Cute and funy, wish I got a shot of the drama…Thank you, I can’t wait to blog about my laser journey….We all need to take a stand in this blogging game, I won’t be taken for a ride by anyone..
Lol @ the dog taking your shine. Nice post too. Can’t think of anything interesting to share, just a regular week for me.
Ah, regular is good. Have a great weekend Nelo.
The dog trying to steal the limelight in your photoshoot made me laugh. We had a model the other week who wanted to work with our dog he was a nightmare for the first 2 hours, then he decided to behave
Lol..Oh my, dogs are so cute.
ooo what laser treatment are you getting done? I’m currently getting the hair removal and it’s great!
Hair removal, starting tomorrow and I am nervous and excited at the same time.
The dog made me laugh. Kids and animals will ALWAYS upstage you.
I like the sound of the analysis. I’m off to put in my URL, I’m really curious now.
Yea they do, thanks Tori.
This is my first time hearing about the peek user testing. I might have to look into. That’s a shame about the brand that reached out to you. I have been reading a lot of articles about whether bloggers should work for free. I was recently approached by a brand that offer me nothing in return to promote them their company. There was no benefit to the the blogger, not even a shout out on social platforms. I had to pass.
I hope you got a picture with the dog and decide to post it. It would make a great post.
Please continue to pass Asa. Some of these brands think we are so stupid…I wish I got the picture, but I panicked so we had to stop for awhile until the owner could get his dog under control, lol…
Will do! Thanks.
This peek user thing sounds interesting – I bet you had a real laugh checking out the results.
Yea I did…I wonder where these people come from.
I like the sound of the blog tester, part of me wants to do it to see what comes back now. I so know what you mean about PR’s and brands. ‘We don’t have a budget’ is getting so old!
Try it Zena, even if it is just for laughs. The ‘we don’t have a budget’ line never worked with me…So old.
The Peek user thing is quite funny, mine was apparently beauty orientated but she was surprised I had never won a pageant lol x
Lol..Oh my.
13$?! now that really is taking the mick!! xxx
Literally…So annoying.
I submitted both of my blogs to peak user testing, the lifestyle blog was fine but listening to them navigate my food blog was bizarre, one woman thought it was a food subscription service and the other kept clicking the lifestyle link at the top which takes you to my lifestyle blog and didn’t understand why she was reading about fashion!
Oh my, lol..
This peek tester looks fun! Dread to think what they would say about my blog haha. I’ve had my first time waster pr this week it’s unreal what they expect for £20
Time wasters everywhere…
