8 years ago, I began this weblog to document the marriage ceremony planning stages as well as concur a countdown for our wedding. I was inward college at the time, as well as acre I was busy amongst pupil teaching, I establish it tardily to exercise since I was also already familiar amongst how to weblog since I had been blogging inward middle schoolhouse dorsum inward the days of Xanga as well as LiveJournal. For every bit long every bit I tin think having access to the Internet (and yes, I think what it was similar earlier nosotros had access to dial-up Internet), I ever enjoyed blogging as well as if y'all had told me when I was inward middle schoolhouse I would terminate upwards blogging every bit my task I would receive got never believed you. 1000 weblog posts later, I'm all the same enjoying blogging. There are unlike reasons behind why I bask it, as well as acre it does brand me coin similar a shot as well as has learn my job, I all the same receive got an authentic as well as sincere honey for it since I receive got been doing it for hence long similar a shot it's learn a job of my life.
When I started the weblog it was a simpler time--just after Pinterest was started as well as many of us began sharing our ideas from our weblog onto Pinterest--and the persuasion of sharing what y'all exercise amongst others tin easily locomote accessed from other search as well as inspiration board sites similar Pinterest made it fifty-fifty to a greater extent than possible for to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than people to uncovering this weblog as well as buy the farm along to banking concern friction match dorsum for to a greater extent than ideas. Waking upwards to receiving comments on my weblog posts amongst people who establish my DIY projection or recipe persuasion from Pinterest was something that exhilarated me, as well as I've had the conduct chances to connect amongst thousands as well as thousands of people across the globe because of this blog. I enjoyed connecting amongst other creatives online who also had blogs, every bit good every bit connecting amongst the people who establish through using Pinterest as well as subscribing to our weblog as well as next us on social media.
A few years subsequently buy the farm by, as well as similar a shot the weblog has gained a steady following. I'm chatting amongst approximately of my blogger friends online who are talking almost beingness approached past times advertising as well as marketing agencies scream for them to characteristic a production inward their post service inward telephone commutation for money. Back then, it was a HUGE bargain to learn a sponsored weblog post. I fifty-fifty think our blogger grouping talking almost the large tidings that swain blogger Ree Drummond, meliorate known every bit The Pioneer Woman, was getting an offering to exercise her ain telly show. It became a reality to us that blogging was becoming a way for many people to brand approximately money, as well as for those lucky few, mayhap fifty-fifty a full-time job.
Even to a greater extent than years later, blogging continues to grow as well as fifty-fifty to a greater extent than people receive got started a blog. A handful of my friends were constantly getting sponsorship deals as well as acre I was having a few offers, I was also preoccupied to read contracts as well as negotiate deals since I was trying to brand my way upwards the ladder at Apple Inc. Working from abode for Apple Inc allowed me the fourth dimension to exercise DIY projects as well as prepare recipes, but every bit the years went on, I became less as well as less enthralled amongst working for the fellowship as well as to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than sponsored blogging offers ended upwards on the table. So, similar anyone who was hating their task would do, I seat to a greater extent than focus on the weblog as well as for a acre at that spot I somehow ended upwards working two full-time jobs.
I kept upwards similar this for long plenty to realize it could potentially locomote a way for me to regularly brand money, as well as in 1 lawsuit nosotros realized this wasn't a fluke as well as I would hold having the chance to exercise sponsored campaigns for the blog, I left my task at Apple Inc after iii years as well as began working every bit a freelancer.
Everyone else was horrified past times the persuasion of leaving corporate America to exercise something every bit indefinite every bit blogging. Every unmarried menage unit of measurement fellow member I talked to, the bulk of our friends, as well as all of my quondam co-workers persuasion I was crazy to exercise it as well as that I would locomote begging for my task dorsum at Apple Inc inward a few weeks.
