After the initial adrenaline and rush of endorphins, you might be surprised to experience moments where building your business feels like a chore. Sometimes it feels like you're trying to build a skyscraper with your bare hands. Sure, you can see some progress, but it doesn’t even come close to where you need to be.

Thanks to social media, affiliate marketing is more popular than ever. You’ve likely been on the receiving end many times, but still might feel unclear on how affiliate marketing for beginners actually works.

Picture this: a reader arrives on your blog post. The mood is right, the music swells, you’re saying all the right things, and they read your post its entirety. That’s what we’re all looking for, isn’t it?! We don’t want a cheap quickie where readers skim the first two paragraphs and leave. We want romance, dammit. But it doesn’t happen on its own. Keeping readers on the page[...]
Packing for your digital nomad lifestyle is a huge, hard task (I’m looking at you, overthinkers). If you’ve been laboring and excessively researching, I can tell already that we’re going to be friends. I was in that same position in 2017. I read dozens (maybe even hundreds) of digital nomad packing lists. I still had a salary and was hellbent on getting everything *now* before[...]

This advice can leave you spinning so much that it feels like you better take their word for it or ELSE (or else or else).

It's the *worst* feeling: you open Pinterest, like any other day, and see that your Pinterest account is suspended for no reason. You feel panicked, upset, wonder what you did wrong, but you come up with nothing. Your Pinterest account was seemingly suspended for no reason. Sadly, you're in excellent company: speaking from personal experience, Pinterest has mistakenly suspended many a[...]
"You're living in a dream world, sweetheart." Was that supposed to be an insult? A male Karen hurled that at me over a bag of trail mix, as I shared that I was on a search for fulfillment. The precise sentiment that sparked this retort, oddly enough, was me saying that I wanted a pet goat and a couple of chickens. Given that both goats and chickens do in fact exist, I'm not sure which[...]
Cue the funeral taps: for whatever reason, the search term “is blogging dead?” remains one of the most popular questions surrounding the future of blogging. What a sad gestalt to have as a group. Change into some color and look ahead, my friend! The future of blogging isn’t just alive (could we have a lower bar?), but it’s bright! Blogs and blogging have never been more r[...]
Anyone in the world can upload their content on Pinterest and have it be enjoyed by pinners all over the world. How incredible is that?!
