Why This Matters To Me
#1 Question I get asked
is “how do I make money
blogging?” (Followed
closely by how do I get
people to read my blog)
Bloggers being
exploited and abused.
In order for us to have
diverse images and
content in the Digital
Age, creators have to be
able to fund their work.
Blogs dying
prematurely due to
poor planning and
execution.
Lots of wasted time
and energy.
