What is it You Do?…I run a blog
The question I get most often with those outside my social media realm (even those in sometimes don’t pay attention either). What is it you do?
I run a blog. You what? I run a blog, I do reviews and sponsored posts for companies that pay me and/or give me the product for free. Uhm, they say, how does that work?
*blank stare*…
It’s especially fun to try to explain to an older lady that really has NO idea about computers. Jason was brilliant at Christmas dinner when I was asked, Do you have a job now? I stated, I run a blog. A what? Hard of hearing on top of it and me being so soft spoken even though I felt like I yelled it. My sister-in-law tried to explain it and failed too. My brilliant husband finally goes…She kind of runs her own magazine online. Ohh okay, that worked.
And it’s not just the blog I run. I feel like I get more sponsored things through my social media sites right now then my blog itself, but still it all ties together. I do a million surveys each day that pay me, but get pretty annoy quick sometimes. I now just close it out if it’s just getting to me too much.
So yes, I sit at home ALL day and sit at the computer. Most of the time its a 7 days of the week gig, cause if I slack one day I am picking up the pieces for a long time after.
I am still not “bringing home the bacon”, but it’s getting so much better. I can pay our monthly netflix with no issues and usually am able to transfer over to savings quite often. I feel like I am becoming something. Where offers are coming in a bit more and I am getting picked for more things than I had been. I feel like 2015 is going to be a pretty good paying wise.
I want to buy a new layout in the new year, as I not really happy with what I have and want it to scream more “me”. After this blog is who I am and how I broadcast to you all.
So the question is, What is it you do?
I run a blog…
You are going to do amazing things this coming year, Love you bestie<3
Thank you my dear – I hope its a bit more constant flow 🙂
It’s even harder to explain how I write from home for a living and I am not a blogger LOL
haha I imagine!
I work full-time outside of the home, selling fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) to businesses. After that, I operate several different blogs. Explaining the blogging thing is a bit more challenging than explaining the fastener thing, especially as it relates to reviewing products.
I actually like your blog layout. It’s clean, organized and easy to navigate. The only thing I would change is maybe getting a custom designed header or designing one yourself. I might be able to help if you’re interested. I also might add footers and move some stuff from the sidebar down there.
The little corner header is all that is able on this layout design.
You should be able to fix that with CSS.
I love how your husband described blogging-running your own magazine online. You do a great job on your blog. I hope you had a good Christmas and have an even better New Year.
It was the perfect way to describe it to someone that just didn’t understand what you were saying! And thanks hon!!
