TweetSince my last video on How to Make Money on Your Blog was successful in terms of views and feedback, I decided to continue the series with a new video.

6 Investments I Recommend Making as a Blogger

TweetTheCubicleChick.com will be officially 1 year old in a few weeks. Since I begun blogging, I have made my share of mistakes which I learned from and tried not to repeat. Along with my mistakes have been triumphs in which I am proud of, and has helped me grow my website. I have made several investments in my business and my blog that have turned out to be most beneficial for me. Here are investments that I recommend you make as a blogger: Domain: Having a website that is blahblahblah/wordpress.org or blahblahblah/blogspot.com is nice but when you have a dot.com in which you own that is your brand and your personality, it speaks that you are truly invested in your brand.

Bloggers ‘Writer’s Block’

TweetI never thought I would ever have this happen to me but alas, I am there. I am experiencing the worst case of bloggers writer’s block, and I am kicking myself because I am not following my number one rule of blogging which is—consistency. I don’t know what to attribute this writer’s block to. It could be because I am writing for several other blogs that now I have lost the voice on my own project. Or it could be because after blogging consistently, almost daily for ten months, I have blogged about everything I can think of. Or it could be that I am turning into a lazy blogger. Please, don’t let that be the case! I was so pumped after attending Blogging While Brown last month and I threw myself into my blog and perfecting my voice. Everything was going well—my audience was growing, I was getting more ...

Blogging 101-Be Patient

TweetWhen I began blogging via my personal blog in 2008, I thought I was going to take the world by storm. In the two years before, I had seen various Internet friends turn into blogging stars by writing on their sites. I thought since I was a valid writer, I too would be able to reap the benefits quickly. Little did I know, blogging is not about who writes the best or who has the most creative blog graphics wise. True bloggers who have made it have had to be patient. I am not the most patient person in the world, but I understand that with the saturation of blogs on the Internet, it may take some time for my blog to become recognized. A true blogger must understand that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, and with that comes the need for patience. In order to ...
