Have you ever been in one of those share groups based on Facebook. You know the ones, you have a post you want to do well so you message the link to a couple of your friends. Then they share it and it tanks. Even if it was doing great on your page already, they share it and it goes nowhere? We've been seeing this over time, but it's something that is hard to confirm for certain! A lot of people have said it's imagined, that Facebook really ...
Writing a book while also managing your blog can seem like a daunting task. Especially if you feel like every spare moment is taken up with your blog, you might wonder how you'll ever find time to finish that book you've been wanting to write. So far, I have published eight books, all while working on my blog, and sometimes multiple blogs, full time. It can definitely be done, but it will take a good bit of planning. Today, we're going to give ...
We, as bloggers and business owners, have two kinds of goals: the “now” goal, like raising pageviews or getting more sponsored posts, and the “ultimate” goal, like owning a blog that earns enough money every month to let you blog full time. Whatever you ultimate goal is, we are going to works towards it. What is your ULTIMATE blogging goal? Looking past your immediate goals...

There are so many ways to get your readers back to your site- Facebook, pinterest... but how do you get them back to you when those things aren't working? I feel so frustrated with Facebook sometimes. I'll have a week where everything is 30-50% reach and then I'll have a week where it is back to 10% or less. I don't get it. So, I've found a way that works. Newsletters. I've been bringing them back to my page with newsletters. Let me ...

I wanted to talk about when someone steals your post because it happens a lot. All the time. I want to give you a way to think about it... When you find that someone has taken your idea... remind yourself of these things: 1). Are they new? I know that when I was new, I had no idea about using someone else's pictures, etc... In the first two weeks of starting a blog, I copied someone's pictures! I did a whole post about how we cut our ...
Pitching brands is a great way to take control of your blog's income. We've all seen the ebb and flow of posts that come through sponsored post networks, and setting up an ambassadorship with a brand yourself is a way that you can get more sponsored post for your site and negotiate a higher rate for the work that you do!

Is blogging just a fad? Will we all wake up one day and find that the careers we were building are suddenly gone with no warning? Many people try to tell us this is the case.
