How One Blogger Took Action, Left Her Job, and Began a Lifestyle Blog
Today marks the end of our series featuring stories from new bloggers. We really hope you’ve enjoyed them.
Jackie Baker recently started a lifestyle blog that celebrates the beauty in everyday life. She considered blogging as a business because she needed a career change that would both challenge her and leave time for a vacation once in a while.
But what would she write about? Jackie narrowed her blog’s focus to a few topics that bring joy, peace, and happiness to both her readers and herself. Hence the title of her blog: Pretty Things, Yummy Food.
What Jackie has learned from blogging:
- Take action and keep pushing forward when you feel stuck or scared
- Create a plan to prioritize tasks you need to get done
- Sign up for courses that show you how to start/launch a blog
- Connect with other bloggers who understand your excitement and frustration
- Embrace social media to find readers and build a community
- Use Canva to design graphics
- Don’t stress about what others think about you or your blog
Want to start a blog? Do it and don’t doubt yourself. Follow your gut, get into a blogging mindset, and find your message to discover you have plenty to offer the world.
