Tara Brewster ,

Fantastic resource for new bloggers!

Amy and Jennifer are great resources for anyone thinking about or just starting out in their blogging journey. Not only do they have invaluable educational episodes, they are so motivating and relatable. Listening to these podcasts and participating in their boot camp gave me the support and empowerment to start my own blog after years of procrastinating. If you are on the fence, give this podcast a try - I guarantee you will be inspired!

Tune in for great information on creating and building your blog!

So grateful I found this podcast! I have wanted to learn more about blogging for so long and this is the perfect site to learn all you need to know in a non-overwhelming way. Jennifer and Amy are full of great information and team up with other experts to make blogging feel attainable!
