Free and Fearless

Welcome to another episode where I help you overcome a limiting belief as a blogger that stops you from actually growing your business. That’s the myth that if you haven’t earned anything, or have just a little profit in your first year, it’s time to ditch your blog and move onto something else because it’s just not working.

Let's debunk that myth.

Social media can be draining. It can be too much most of the time and we just compare ourselves to others. We see how slowly our following is growing and we end up posting because we have to, not because we want to.

Not to mention all this actually takes us away from the real business activities. The income generating blogging tasks such as content creation, content optimization, content marketing, email marketing, affiliate marketing and so on.

Well, I'm here to tell you there are other ways and you can indeed grow a blogging business without social media, without Facebook or Instagram or TikTok. That's what today's episode is all about.

Welcome to the second episode of a series in which I debunk some common myths you might believe around making money from your blog.

Today's one is that affiliate marketing is the only real way to earn as a blogger. Well, it's not, and I'll share why as well as why you might be believing this.

It's time to let go of that and give yourself permission to consider other possible paths to monetization. Not just that, but to believe that you don't need affiliate marketing at all if you don't enjoy it and if it doesn't feel authentic to you, and to know that other income streams can be the way to reach five, six, and even seven figures in yearly revenue.

If you're a blogger, one of the main challenges you always have to deal with is the lack of blogging motivation.

Show Notes:

I just created a new freebie. It's all about repurposing content so you can turn 1 piece of content into 9 and you can get immediate access to it from this page.

Repurposing content is one of my favorite things as a blogger and I do it all the time. If you don't know what that is and what the benefits are, tune into the episode.

This episode is for you if you're thinking of starting a one-person business and want to prepare for the challenges, mentally at least. It's also for anyone wondering if they can do this by themselves. And for those who've been in business for some time and need some motivation to keep going.
