Many of you enjoyed this week’s podcast glimpse into the blogging business, so we wanted to point you to another helpful resource on the same topic: our 3-part series on how to start a blog, grow your audience, and monetize your work.
We originally put the series together a few months ago as a single, shareable resource for the numerous questions we get about blogging. Because it wasn’t widely published in everyone’s feed, it can be hard to find — and we suspect many readers haven’t seen it. If you want a complete walkthrough of getting started, building traffic, and earning revenue, follow the link or click the image below.
If you missed this week’s podcast episode (#8), we had a lively conversation with Emily Henderson, Justina Blakeney, and Nicole Balch about sponsored posts and paid content. Sponsored content is an important and common part of modern blogging for both creators and readers. In our discussion, the three design bloggers were candid about handling negative feedback, maintaining transparency, and the realities of income in the sponsored-content space. Their honest perspectives dispelled several misconceptions and offered valuable insight into how professional bloggers balance creativity, ethics, and business.
