SAVVY ADVICE
“Do you have advice for other women who might aspire to a blog-to-
book career like yours?
I put 90% of my time into creating content and 10% into other stuff like
answering emails, social media, and promoting posts. If I had started with the
opposite, just 10% on content and 90% on promotion, I don’t think I would be
here today.
“Try to create content that’s so valuable it shares
itself, and then you can focus on doing what you
love.”
