Last week the African Blogger Awards 2015 were announced on Twitter and to my surprise I came runner up in two categories! I had actually forgotten about the awards! I entered a few months back and not given it much thought since then.

You can imagine my delight when Inspired Living SA was announced runner up in the Fashion & Beauty Category and the Lifestyle Category! As a blogger you always wonder how many people are paying attention and reading what you put out there. It would appear there are quite a few 🙂

The aim of the African Blogger Awards, is to acknowledge the top African talent in the world of Bloggers, YouTubers, Facebookers, Tweeters, and Instagrammers. These awards provide an opportunity to the most successful online influencers in Africa to be recognised, for their hard work in growing and keeping their communities active and engaged.

What sets the African Blogger Awards apart, from other similar campaigns, is there is no requirement for readers or followers to vote. To qualify for the awards I had to add my blog and/or social accounts on Webfluential {ensuring that social platforms and analytics are correctly linked to Webfluential so that judging could take place}.The Webfluential Algorithm, then measures blog traffic and engagement and compares it to others in the same category.

So a big thank you to all my loyal readers and my followers on both the blog and social media! Without your continued support I could not have achieved these awards.
