Offbeat Grad

I chat with College Life Made Easy co-founder Charlie and contributor Jade about how they got into college blogging. Believe it or not, they didn't start with the "traditional" college path, but boy have they made it work for them. They share their best tips for monetizing, creating fresh content, and staying relevant in a changing blog-o-sphere.
