Recently, I read an article on Rebecca Blood's blog about a personal interview she had with blogger Tiffany B. Brown regarding her blog and how she got started. I thought Brown's interview was interesting because she seems to be extremely realistic about blogging and managing her job and lifestyle away from the computer screen.
With Brown being an American University Journalism graduate, her experiences with the Augusta Chronicle, Cox Interactive Media and Cox Newspapers enabled her to pave a successful road to begin her blogs. Nowadays, anyone can get into blogging, however, being knowledgable on how to begin and what programs, resources, etc. to use easily contribute to her success of creating diverse, yet personal blogs.
Speaking upon her success, Brown seemed extremely humble about her passion for blogging; she has been a guest speaker for multiple occasions such as South by Southwest and ConvergeSouth 2005, but has only been compensated for the side work. Since she does make a living from blogging, she does make it clear she is extremely dedicated while also being on top of her personal life and full-time career.
Overall, I appreciate that Brown does not make an extremely fixed schedule with her blogs and is always willing to change her layouts, comment sections and post lengths to gain momentum for her audience. As someone who currently runs a blog, I always got bogged down when I stop posting or moving on to bigger steps to keep my followers entertained. Furthermore, some bigger steps I hope to take include creating a weekly newsletter or connecting other social media platforms I use, such as Instagram, to build more connections.
