If you had RM100 to spend on your blog..

I know not everyone is willing to fork out money for their blog especially if they are only treating it as a hobby, but if you do have a hundred ringgit laying around somewhere and you thought “I wanna buy a little something-something for my blog!” as a treat, then this post is for you!
Blog photography props
I recently bought a rose gold tray basket for my perfumes from dilashome on Shopee. They have tons of cute marble/rose gold stuff that you can use to beautify your room and also as blog props as well. One more thing that you can buy as props is contact paper! Contact papers have adhesive back so you can paste them on a thick manila card or cardboard and use it as photo background.
Domain name
Tired of having .blogspot.com on your blog url? It’s time to take the plunge and get yourself a domain name! I’m a long time user of netkl.com so I can vouch for that company for their domain and hosting. Getting a domain name will make your blog look extra professional. However, domain name from netkl.com is RM45/yearly so do keep in mind that it’s not a one-off payment. While you’re at that, do add on the Privacy Protection for RM15 to protect your details.

Header logo
You can always make a header logo yourself but Etsy has loads of cheap options for header logo made by reputable designers. LogoLove on Etsy offers super cheap header logo at just RM13 and this one is super pretty and minimalist! I personally have made some blog headers on Canva but unless you’re on the pro version, the quality is just meh.
Do a giveaway!
I loved doing giveaways but unfortunately I haven’t been able to do so for quite some time. I usually do template giveaways because I love seeing blogs with pretty designs and I love it even more if I’m the one who’s giving away those pretty designs. If you’re interested in doing giveaways, you can always do stationery, books, makeups, or anything that you currently fancy and want to share with your readers. The possibility is limitless.

Some really useful ideas here. I think purchasing a domain and a nice theme are some of the best things you can do when you start a blog!

These are great ideas. I think you sometimes forget about investing in new props for photos, but are a so needed item for blogging. I would agee on buying a domain, gives the blog a more professional look, doesn’t it?
Thanks for sharing!

Great ideas! I think my next thing would probably be a new blog template… I haven’t been a big fan of mine for a while. After that, definitely domain!
