  • Sophie Cliff | How To Successfully Blog Part-Time

    The week I recorded this (mid-July) my baby had a growth spurt.....yep, that's right. And she was a little more chatty and grizzly than usual so from now on expect to hear lots of her in the background! I hope you don't mind, but like Sophie said to me at the end of our chat -- I am a working mum, so hearing a baby gurgle, hiccup and snuffle while you hear me multitask is my reality. But, obvs, hope you don't mind it too much ;)

    I chat to the ever lovely Sophie Cliff, who runs the eponymous blog SophieCliff.com. She’s an award nominated blogger, and covers all things travel, lifestyle and musings on her daily life with her musician hubby Sam and cute cat Lola. Sophie is one of the nicest ladies around, and manages to blog daily despite having a full-time job! 

    We talked about starting out in blogging, growing a super engaged audience without caring about the rules and how she manages to create so much content while holding down a day job.

    If you’re a part time blogger wondering how to make a success without losing your day job -- this one is for you.

  • Fiona Tucker | Embracing the mess of blogging

    Holy crap, the podcast is still going! It's been such a fun project and a total dream to basically chat to my mates and glean incredible blogging tips while drinking tea in my pj's. The dream, y'all. It's come to a stage in the podcast where I'm thinking about whether to keep it as a fixed episode series and wrap things up after the run of guests I have scheduled thus far or keep going indefinitely. I'm in two minds because of life and because I need to find and ask more awesome women online if they'd be keen to be a part of it. What do you think? I might take to Twitter and see what my tweeps think too......

    On with episode SEVEN, where I chat to Fifi, who runs the lifestyle blog Whimsy and Grey.


    SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST

    I initially talked to Fifi way back in April…...but so much has changed since then we decided to scrap the original and have a brand new chat ;) Which, selfishly, was fun because I love her!


    Fifi runs the blog Whimsy and Grey, a beautiful family lifestyle blog filled with stories and snapshots of her life with gorgeous daughter Florrie and their house bunny Pip. Her Instagram account is stunning and has some of the best engagement around due in no small part to her brilliant hashtag projects.


    We chatted about starting out in blogging, and how daunting it can be, ‘faking it’ and embracing the mess of everyday life.
