What do you do when your million-dollar blog post idea strikes? You scramble to your computer, giddy with excitement, and type as fast as your little fingers are capable. If there were competitions for typing, you’d be taking home the gold. When all your ideas are down on paper, you breathe a sigh of relief, […]
How many of you think Pinterest is only a place for women to share their latest recipe or DIY project? If the top 30 Pinners are food, fashion, design, and wedding bloggers, it’s safe to say it’s a scrapbooking paradise for women. So, it’s easy to push this visual search engine under the rug because
Have you ever clicked on a link while reading a blog post only to find yourself on the infamous 404 Page? Disheartening isn’t it? You were sure that the extra piece of information would help, but alas it isn’t meant to be. But, if it’s a problem on the websites you visit, then it might

Let me ask you this: When you first started blogging, did making money from your blog ever cross your mind? Maybe not. Many new bloggers view blogging as only a hobby.
