How One Blogger is Making the Most from Networking and Interviewing

Our series of stories from new bloggers continues with Penny Wilson, who started Lingo Mama to blog about language learning and travel.

How networking and interviewing helped one blogger build her blog

Penny’s reasons for starting a blog:

  • Return to her passion for language learning
  • Establish accountability and discipline with language learning
  • Share love for language learning with others
  • Inspire others to learn a second language

Starting a blog involved a huge learning curve for Penny, especially when it came to the technical aspects of managing it.

Fortunately, Penny hasn’t struggled for content ideas. The challenge is getting those ideas across in a way that’s interesting, entertaining and informative, and that adds value.

One of the highlights of blogging came when Penny connected with bloggers she respects in her niche. She also created an interview series that lets her connect with other language learners.

Making money from her blog has been slow, but Penny has been happy with affiliate ads she installed early on to generate traffic and referrals.

Penny’s Top Tips:

  • Don’t stress too much about being perfect
  • Promote content that’s most useful to readers
  • Listen to feedback from readers
