Thanks for this post (and on a side note- we’re excited to hear about an upcoming e-course!!!). We’re in the 5th month of our blog and the dream would be to be able to be full time bloggers and savvy business women such as yourselves. Not having industry standards as you’ve mentioned has been tricky for us as we’ve only recently begun advertising/collaborating with companies but at the same time it’s such an exciting new industry that we’re just happy to be slowly paving our path in a small part of it!

Beautiful advice. This is exactly the kind of genuine, informative post I need to stumble across from time to time to keep me motivated and re-ignite my passion. Truly inspiration, much like the rest of your blog.

I so agree with your perspective. We’ve just started our family life and style blog and quality is very important for us. While many people appreciate out work, there are still a lot of people who don’t understand why we put so much effort in our photography and all the projects but we’ll just keep doing our thing 🙂

So interesting! What books/tools do you use (besides years of experience!) to educate yourselves about the blogging industry, online marketing/advertising and small businesses, analytics, etc? Also, any photography book recommendations? Just bought a DSLR – super excited!
Thanks!

PS Love your stuff!

Hi and very nice meeting you. Really interesting post! So far I only blog as a hobby. Mainly because it’s quite time intense and it’s already lots of work to keep it alive at all. Cooking is my big passion and I wish I could only do that and have my food blog. But I also have a job I like, friends, a partner, love yoga and need some me time and time to cook as well. So where to get all the time from? I often end up only posting a pic on my Facebook page (which is much quicker and easier than writing a full blog post). Shame though at the same time as the Facebook page grows bit not the blog. How can that be improved? Happy for any tips! Sending sunshine & love, N

Great post, thanks Elsie!! I have just started blogging (my husband and I took a year off to travel) and I would love to continue the blog after this year is up and/or maybe start a new one. Your post gives me hope that this really is the way of the future and I love hearing a “veteran’s” oppinion on the industry. I am finding it really fun to create and you are exactly right, the standards, especially for visual design and photography are through the roof! People amaze me! I did just find your app though, which is super helpful for creating cute text on pics quickly and easily, so thanks for that as well!! Maybe you already posted about it and I missed it, but I would love to hear about your experiences with the app creation process 🙂

Thank you for the article! Nicely done.
To be honest, the article didn’t reveal or add anything new to my understanding of writing a blog, even though I am quite a new person in blogging world. But defenitely it confirmed my belief in how I want to run my blog, what kind of rules I want to follow. I didn’t start my blog for commercial reasons and I’m not sure if it will be anyhow, anyday a place for sponsored materials. I want my blog to be my personal even intimate tabula rasa which will be filled by my own thoughs and opinions and I can agree for sponsored content only if it will smoothly fit to my blog.

I just got started blogging two weeks ago and am feeling very excited but also somewhat overwhelmed! Can you speak a little towards how much investment is worthwhile at the start? Should I try to get a decent following before I pay for an ideal layout and SEO? Thanks so much for writing this post, it was quite helpful.
