Happy Friday! For these resources I really wanted to branch out to some blogs I hadn’t checked out in awhile, so I took to twitter to find the best posts. I love using twitter personally, but when it comes to keeping it updated for our blog, I struggle to keep up. Anyway, I looked through our followers list to get inspired and found bunch of great bloggers to share with you! Check out the resources below, all on the topics of blogging and business, and be sure to tweet your own helpful posts @theblogmarket_ and us the hashtag #weeklyresources on twitter or Instagram for a chance to be featured. We’re specifically looking for resource-worthy blog posts that have great tips!
1. Holly Meyer wrote a post on all she learned in two years of business. I appreciated her honesty on discussing what it’s like to run a business and work a day job full time. Like her, I didn’t choose freelancing on purpose per se (though I knew one day I’d want to)—I actually just really didn’t like the job I had, and knew I could do better! Twitter: @hmeyerdesign.
2. Lovely Indeed has an awesome series on her blog where intellectual property law pro Maria Spear offers up some great advice for biz owners and bloggers. She’s done a post on copyright law and intellectual property law so far that you might find helpful! Twitter: @lovelyindeed.
3. Elle at Wonderfelle Media talked about sales tips to grow your business and her thoughts on selling yourself really resonated. When you’re blogging or growing a handmade business, YOUR story matters a ton! People want to hear it so don’t be afraid of sharing it. She has 6 more tips in her blog post. Twitter: @wonderfelle.
4. Just when I thought I’d heard enough about branding, Mama Bear Communications posted this piece on creating a consistent brand image for your biz. I personally liked that she broke it down very simply and talked about the importance of a consistent voice, which is so true. Twitter: @mamabearcomms.
We’d love to connect on twitter! Follow us @theblogmarket_ and don’t forget to share your #weeklyresources!
