Diversify Your Revenue While Building Important Food Blogging Skills with Lauren Mullaly
Description
Lauren has been a food blogger at Maritime Glutton for a year and a half and a photographer for about 6 months. When she began her food blogging journey, she was partially through earning a business degree. Lauren landed a marketing job for the government because of her "unofficial" skillset built while food blogging (photography, SEO, marketing, content planning). Building a skillset to support her blog allowed her to monetize from multiple income streams, while becoming an "expert" in these fields.
In this episode, Lauren sheds a ton of light on this long game known as food blogging and how to take advantage of the "marathon" by building on unique skills along the ride.

- Create boundaries. Schedule time for yourself to do nothing. (Don't discount this!)
