Oh heyyyyy, May! Can’t believe you’re here already. Time flies when you’re having fun!
Before we kick off a new month, I’m going to share my April 2018 recap with you. This is the second post in a new series on the blog where I share monthly recaps to give you a “behind the scenes” look at my business and life away from my laptop.
Let’s take a look!
Read MoreRemember at the start of the year how I announced that one of my goals was to read more? I started strong back in January and I'm proud to say that I've kept it up the past few months!
Reading is something that I love doing and, for the most part, I have no problem powering through the latest thriller or mystery. Take a look at my March 2018 recap to see what I mean haha! I am a fiction junkie and once I find an author or series that I enjoy, there’s no stopping me.
Last year, however, I realized I wasn't putting aside as much time as I’d like to read non-fiction books that will help my business, mindset and continuing education. And that’s a damn shame because I enjoy those books too!
If you're looking for books to read over the next few weeks that will positively impact your business, I hope these recommendations tickle your fancy!
Let's take a look.

$100K / year is totally doable. It will take a bit of hustle and heart but that income goal is totally reachable. Money doesn’t have to be a scary thing and the more comfortable we are talking about it, the easier it gets to reach our goals.
Do the work, share what you know and charge good money for it!
Read MoreGather round, it’s story time!
I was at an event recently where one of the speakers was talking about the “insane, seriously mind-blowing” income you can make from blogging and how everyone should become a blogger. The way he was talking about it, you’d think that blogging was the fastest way to riches. He made big claims and many people in the audience wanted to know how they could go about doing this too.
The whole conversation made me very uncomfortable because in my opinion, this guy was full of hot air and was misleading people with his story. I have no doubt that he (and many other full-time bloggers) is crushing it and bringing in major cash every month from his blog. Top earning bloggers like him have huge followings and their sites receive tons of traffic every day. Because of this, they are able to command very high fees to partner with brands, accept product sponsorships, participate in campaigns, etc.
Sadly, that’s not normal and if truth be told, most people cannot expect those results from blogging.
But don’t panic, all is not lost! Monetizing your blog is totally possible, but it probably won’t happen in the way you think it will. Let’s take a look at why this is.
