Favorite quote from this episode: “When I hear bloggers say, ‘Why would anyone listen to me?’ I say, ‘Why not?!?’”
Bree went from blogging as a creative outlet to graphic designer to creating an influential online movement to help bloggers thrive.
In Part 2 of my interview with Bree, we’ll dig into:
- Why authenticity trumps expertise when it comes to landing sponsors.
- Why the tech is the least important part of your blog.
- The most important reason to stop obsessing over your blog design.
- Why content is the most important thing to spend your time on when it comes to your blog.
- Why Bree and her husband sold their house, bought a travel trailer and traveled the country for a year.
- The difference between work-life balance and work-life-play balance.
- The importance of building a tribe of like-minded entrepreneurs to support you in your journey.
- How to find local blogging groups in your area.
