As a blogger and entrepreneur I love to find things that inspire and motivate me. I have a bookcase full of tons of different books for my learning. I enjoy being able to inspire and motivate myself and others in my field.

These books for bloggers have been my favorite lately:

What is Success?

June 24, 2019June 22, 20196 Comments

“What does success mean to you?” Someone asked me this the other day, and it got me thinking. What does success really mean? Furthermore, what does it really mean to me?

Most people think being happy and having a lot of money is key, but it is not. There is much more than having a luxurious life and money.

Some might define success as not having to work more than 40 hours per week, and another person defines success as having a million dollars in the bank account. I’m somewhere in between, I’d say.

BUT…

I also know that success is meeting MY goals. Success is closing those sales. Success is keeping clients happy and content. Success is providing for my son. Success seeing my son happy and working with him.

I think most can relate to the fact that when you start a business, you come in knowing you want to make six figures plus. My goal was to make what I was making in my corporate job. LAME. I made it in no time. Then what?

Some people want to make millions or billions and that equals success to them. But for me, it’s giving the results that my clients want. It is providing for my son in the way that he needs. It is following through and having full creativity with client work.

YES, money is a great part of success, but think outside of the box. You have to set goals; if you do not set goals, then you can’t ever really define your success. Agree?

Whenever I feel down and out, I make a list of people I admire both professionally and personally. This action helps me to understand success and goals for the future.

So tell me, what does success mean to you? Does it mean having money or having a good job? Or something else? Know that you are successful, and set those goals so that you know you are successful.

Difference Between a Blogger and an Influencer

May 13, 2019September 14, 2019Leave a comment

Talk about blogging and influencers right now has skyrocketed. It is a hot topic. Many millennials do this to earn cash, and it is quite an effective way to make money.

There is a huge difference between bloggers and influencers. I consider myself both. I have multiple streams of income; both of these are my side gigs.

A blogger is someone who blogs. I know, duh, right. An influencer is someone who is influential online and shares products or services to their audience on one or many platforms. It depends on what the client wants. A blogger can be an influencer if they have an influential blog. The two can honestly go hand in hand, but sometimes people might want one or the other.

If brands want to be seen on social media, they will most likely hire an influencer. However, sometimes they want more than that such as a blog post. The best part about this is that it can lead to affiliate links, which in turn also adds another revenue of income. It’s like a three-way system. Do you see what I mean?

In the blogging world, influence is measured by the number of monthly visitors and engagement. Engagement means shares, comments, clicks, etc. People aren’t always concerned about your social media following but would rather have a high level of engagement over anything else.

However, just because you have a blog, doesn’t mean you’re an influencer.

What Is An Influencer?: You have seen celebrities get used as influencers: Oprah, Rush, Kim Kardashian. From a brand perspective, this method is powerful since the influencer can transfer their story and knowledge to their audience.

Most of us, though, have the expertise and a personality which is an excellent benefit for influencers. If you do not have a fun, humorous personality, then being an influencer might not be for you.

Focus On Your Niche: It’s ok to have varied interests but make sure your niche is defined. Having this narrow field established is critical to know your audience and what they are looking forward to the most in your posts.
Include Yourself In Your Visual Content: Audiences connect with people, so that means your personality and imagery matter the most. Put yourself out there, and do custom photos. You don’t need to be in every picture, but avoid the use of stock images on your posts.
Keep It Real: Authenticity is key with being an influencer and even a blogger. People can’t connect if you aren’t unique and personal. It is a proven fact. Keep your wording with posts and always follow disclosure information rules.
Engage With Your Audience: People who follow you want to connect with you. You have something interesting to say that they like. Reach out and give them a chance to communicate with you. Something as simple as commenting is important.

Here are links for some of my favorite influencer programs:

Influencer marketing is one of my favorite ways to make money. I love being able to share custom stories and images on my social media platforms (and even blog). Are you looking to get started with influencer marketing? Shoot us a message for some additional tips.

How to Make Money Blogging?

May 10, 2019May 11, 201910 Comments

There is a constant question of “how do I make money blogging,” and “is it even a real job?” The thing is, it can be if you know what you are doing. Nothing happens overnight, but it is well worth it to earn money each month from blogging.

Here is how to make money from a blog:

Set up your blog
Start creating useful content
Get off your blog and start finding readers
Build engagement with the readers that come
Start making money from the readership you have through one or more of a variety of income streams

Now let’s break this down…

Start a Blog

To make money blogging, you’re going to need to have a blog. I recommend using Weebly. This selection is a perfect platform to get your blog ready and started.

Start Creating Useful Content

A blog is not a blog without content. The trick here is that you need useful content. It is about you, but your audience too. What about you makes you different and draws people in to want to know more? This discovery might take some time but ask for feedback on social media, etc. Find out what people respond well to in your topic(s).

Start by thinking about the type of reader you’d like to read your blog. Once you figure that out, you can start to plan content and targeting.

Many Ways to Make Money Blogging

You can make money from blogging in so many different ways. You have to find out which methods are best for you. With so many options, finding what you want to offer and implementing it is key.

4. .Advertising Income

This choice is where I started. You have a monthly retainer, and it often runs in a similar matter as a magazine or newspaper sells ads. As your traffic and brand grow, you’ll find advertisers will be willing to pay to get exposure to your audience. I am not a huge fan of this for my audience, but for some, it works great.

5. Affiliate Income

Affiliate income is when you link to a product that is for sale on another site and when someone follows your link and ends up buying that product, you earn a commission on that sale. It’s simple and easy. Here are some of my favorite affiliates; ShareASale, Amazon, and BrandCycle.

6. Recurring Income

This choice is where readers pay a regular, recurring amount to access either premium content, a community area, some kind of service, tools, or coaching. This method is becoming more popular and fun. For example, if you are a food blogger, you can create a membership group of recipes for your audience and make money off of it. ‘

7. Promoting a Business/Influencer

This way has become extremely popular over the years. It basically means that you promote a product or service to your audience. You have to have an active and engaging audience; you do not always need to have a large following as long as it is engaging. It is one of the biggest ways I make money right now.

8. Services

A common way that bloggers make money is offering services to readers. This choice can be anything from coaching and consulting, to writing or copywriting, design, training, or other freelance services.

These are just a few ways your blog can make you money, and it all depends on your audience as well. I would love to set up a time to chat with you to see how I can help you grow your blog.

Automatically Schedule Your Instagram Posts

February 17, 2018February 11, 20188 Comments

Do you hate having to be on instagram, coming up with content, and then publishing it? I know I do especially when it is on my phone and seems like I am on there wasting time just to write the perfect caption and hash tags. The good news is that now many third party social media platforms allow you to schedule, post, and share right from your desktop. There is NO need to push notifications from your account out to your instagram account. This is a BRAND NEW FEATURE and is a lifesaver!

The time has come… where you can now schedule them on a desktop computer and it AUTOMATICALLY POSTS. This is mega news y’all.

It’s super easy with Tailwind (an app for Pinterest and Instagram), you just set it and forget it, and say good-bye to push notifications telling you it’s time to post – for good!!!! Take back your nights and weekends, and let Tailwind post at the perfect times for you! Save that time where your business needs you!!

Psssst! We’ve heard that other tools don’t support hashtags – and that reduces the reach of your posts. So, Tailwind was careful to build out auto-post feature in such a way that your posts get the full advantage of each hashtag! How awesome, right?

We’re really excited about this development and would love for you to sign up on Tailwind!! It’s super easy just follow my Link, sign up, and get publishing n those instagram pages!!

You’re rebranding or refocusing your services.
And your current About page no longer accurately represents your business or your new brand.

You have a very very VERY hard time writing about yourself.
Hello blank page, my old friend.
