I've mentioned the term 'collaboration' a lot over my recently, especially when my blog turned one-year-old a few weeks ago. It's a huge part of the blogger-sphere. I think it is hugely important when creating content online. Working with other creative individuals is the way forward! It inspires you, two minds are certainly better than one, being able to see things from a different perspective is always a positive.
I've always strived to collaborate with others, ever since I began my blog. And over the last two weeks, I've been collaborating with others more than ever. Moving to Manchester has forced me to put myself out there. Only knowing a handful of people, in a new city is always going to be hard, and when you want to create content, it's even harder!
That's until I decided to try and improve my situation. Manchester is a hub for creative and interesting people, jam-packed with talent. So finding people to work with is possible, however, you've just got to ask! With that in mind, I gave it a try. Instagram has once again came to my rescue. As soon as I walked into my first bar in Manchester I noticed a few individuals who I follow on Instagram. Being the sociable character I am, I headed straight over and started chatting. It's pretty funny actually as the first question I'm actually asked is "what's you're actual name?" It's an icebreaker! With that said, I started to ask around to see if anyone was interested in collaboration. Luckily I bumped into Rachel (@rags_renewal) on my very first night out in the city along with Megs (@meg.bury) who both happen to be bloggers too! Weirdly enough, they too seemed to be in the same predicament as I was- not being the new guy in town, but struggling to get content for their blogs!
