I have another round of Bloggers Tell All and this is going to be a good read! Lots of people have misconceptions of bloggers that I’ve blogged about before and it can be very frustrating with how the world perceives us. I checked in with a few bloggers that gave their honest opinions on what frustrates them the most about being a blogger! Check out what they had to say inside…

I hate when people (people you don’t even know) ask for free things. I don’t mind giving to friends. I like to think I’m a very giving person but when a random person asks for something for free when you had to work hard for it….that pisses me off!! 😉

It can be a bit stressful getting ready to go to events or just being out (you never know who you may run into) because I always want to make sure that I represent my brand and look the “part”. Additionally, I don’t want to wear something that I’ve been pictured in already. Lol.

I absolutely hate when someone takes the time to email me about something they could have simply googled. I feel it’s lazy on their part. That is my biggest pet peeve.
Katherine of Bombay Blonde says…
The first thing that comes to mind is companies expecting us to work for free!
Karen of MommyNoire says…
One thing I hate about being a blogger is the fact that non writers (and inexperienced bloggers) think our business is just some fun, gossipy, no talent required type of work that doesn’t require craft, wit or a real sense of marketing savvy. For real bloggers its a business and an art form. It’s really a way of life. There really isn’t a shut off button.
Stacie of The Divine Miss Mommy says…
The most frustrating thing about being a blogger is PR people treating me like I am just a mommy blogger and not being valued for my work. I have an MBA and have been an executive in a large company. I know that people have budgets and I understand how marketing works. Treat my blog like a business and we can have a meaningful conversation. Treat me like a mail merge (Dear Blogger) and we probably won’t connect.
Lamar of Black and Married With Kids says…
The one annoying thing about being a blogger is people not respecting the business aspect of what you do just because they don’t understand it. We’ve built a business that’s more successful and more profitable than most brick and mortar storefronts but you have to continually educate people on the work and effort that goes into being a full-time blogger.
Tori of Glasses and Glitter says…
My biggest pet peeve is PR/Brands approach. I get a lot of “review this” “no budget, but exposure” emails and it’s like, hello my time is valuable. It’s annoying as hell that most want something for nothing.
Aimee of Pretty Frugal Diva says…
People thinking u do nothing and work for free.
Dea of Pretty Girls Rock Dresses says…
I hate cliques. I hate hate hate bloggers who steal ideas; be you don’t try to emulate me! I don’t like the green eyed monsters; there’s opportunities for all who work hard and try.

This post is a perfect example of what irks me about blogging! I hate when people work in or with social media ex: bloggers, pr & mktg reps and they won’t reply to emails! You see them all day and night updating all their social media accounts but WILL not answer their emails! These are the same people that will then turn around and want a quick response from me though! This type of behavior annoys the heck out of me! I sent this email out asking A LOT of fellow bloggers this same question about what annoys them and half of them didn’t even bother to respond! Thats what I mean! Ratchet at it’s best!
