Now that you’ve read about the basics of monetising a blog and working with advertisers in Part One of this two-part series, I’d like to share more insights into my world. From balancing your creative and entrepreneurial sides to maximising social media, there’s a lot that goes into turning a passion for blogging into a sustainable career. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions that land in my inbox…

Nowadays, with a combination of high-quality blogging, professional photography, and social media, one can forge a comfortable, full-time career that leads to fantastic opportunities for learning and growth. Of course, when I started KaterinaPerez.com 10 years ago, I felt like a fish out of water! At that time being a professional blogger with a profitable business model in the jewellery industry was unheard of. Now, a decade later, I have lots of experience to share that was all learnt the hard way, through trial and error. Make sure to read Part One of this series and then continue below for greater insight into my world… I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of KaterinaPerez.com.
