I was honored to be interviewed by iBlog Magazine recently about blogging, online marketing, and what I’ve learned from this crazy and wild adventure I’ve been on as a blogger for the past almost 10 years.
In this interview, I share a behind-the-scenes look at some of my blogging processes, how I’ve grown my team (and some key advice for those of you who are thinking of hiring a virtual assistant), my Pinterest strategy and how much time I invest in it on a daily basis, the platform I’m currently experiencing with, plus a number of lessons I’ve learned the hard way as a blogger.
If you are a blogger, an online entrepreneur, or just want to know more about the behind-the-scenes of MoneySavingMom.com, I think you’ll enjoy watching this interview. Head over here to view it.
Loved the interview. I started blogging in January and just had a baby last month. This was just what I needed to get refocused on blogging!
I’m so glad you found it to be helpful — and congrats on your new baby!
Great interview, Crystal!
This ever-changing blogging world can be overwhelming and I love that you shared to learn one thing before moving onto the next thing. Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration!
Thanks so much for your kind encouragement!
My favorite takeaway was your tip about publishing a blog post *first*, then seeing how it performs before taking the time to create an attractive Pin-worthy graphic. I’m going to start doing this too. Creating graphics stresses me out and sometimes blocks me from writing, so if I feel free to just go ahead and write and then analyze the popularity of the post afterwards, that would be so helpful! Thanks for sharing that.
I so agree with this! When she said that it was a lightbulb moment for me too!
I’m so grateful that was helpful!
Such a great interview….especially for us newbies who are learning the ropes!! You are always so sweet to “pay it forward!” 🙂
Thanks so much for your kind encouragement!
I watched this video tonight and just want you to know that I have been a long time reader…like back in 2007. I really give a lot of weight and value to what I read on your blog. I just started my own blog this year and this video was very helpful. I didn’t know you had an ebook for bloggers, so I will be definitely looking it up. Thank you, Crystal, for all you do!
Thank you so much for being such a long-time reader — and congrats on starting your own blog!
SO helpful! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome! I’m grateful it was helpful!
I really like the earrings + necklace you’re wearing in this video!
Thanks so much — they are one of my staple interview/speaking jewelry sets. Jesse bought them for me months ago (at Kohl’s, I think?) and I love them!
I’m going to watch this now. You’re always such a wonderful inspiration, Crystal!
Thank you so much for your kind encouragement!
