Boss Lady Bloggers: Start a Blog and Business

How to Start a Blog in 2026: The Only Guide You Actually Need I spent two years writing blog posts, adding affiliate links, and praying that something would work. I had over a million monthly Pinterest views. I had traffic. And I made literally pennies. That's when I realized the problem. I didn't have a blogging business . I had a blog. And those are two very different things. In this episode, I'...

I need to have a direct conversation with you today. Not a casual one. An urgent one. The doors to Blog Execution Manager Plus close tomorrow night. Spots have almost been completely filled for the year. Once they're gone, they're gone. But before we talk about timing, I want to make sure you understand exactly what this offer is and whether it's right for you. Whether you've been following my con...

I want to have an honest conversation with you today. Not a sales pitch. Not a list of reasons why you should join Blog Execution Manager Plus . An actual, genuine assessment of whether this is right for you. Because here's what I've learned after eight years of coaching: not everyone is ready for this. Not everyone should join. Some people would be wasting their money. Some people would be wastin...

I've spent the last several blogging episodes talking about problems. The patterns that keep bloggers stuck. The gaps between knowing and doing. The isolation, the overwhelm, the half-finished projects, the momentum that never sustains. Today I want to do something different. Today I'm giving you complete transparency about what Blog Execution Manager Plus actually includes. Everything you get. Ho...

Eight years. That's how long I've been doing this. Eight years of coaching calls. Eight years of DMs and emails and voice messages from women who are stuck. Eight years of watching patterns repeat themselves so consistently that I can often predict what someone's going to say before they say it. I've worked with hundreds of bloggers in that time. Beginners who didn't know where to start. Intermedi...

Her application was impressive. Almost intimidatingly so. Fifteen courses completed on SEO, email marketing, course creation, Pinterest strategy, Facebook ads, webinar funnels. Two high-ticket coaching programs. Certifications in digital marketing. Her website was beautiful. Professionally designed, strategically structured. And then this line: "I've made maybe $2,000 total from my blog in three y...

When she first reached out to me, her message started with three paragraphs of apology. She apologized for taking my time. She apologized for not being further along with her blog. She apologized for probably being a hopeless case. Before she even told me what she needed, she had already convinced herself she didn't deserve help. That message broke my heart. Because I've seen this pattern so many...

A woman blogger reached out to me recently, exhausted and frustrated. She'd spent twelve hours that week trying to create a single lead magnet for her blog. Twelve hours of researching topics, writing content, scrapping it, rewriting, fighting with Canva, hating the design, starting over, questioning whether the topic was even right, falling down YouTube tutorial rabbit holes. Twelve hours. Zero f...

After eight years of coaching stuck bloggers, I've noticed something. The surface problems are always different. One woman can't figure out her niche. Another can't grow her email list. Another has blog traffic but can't convert readers to buyers. Another has a digital product idea but can't seem to launch. The details vary. The specifics change. But underneath all of it, the root causes are almos...

Think about the last thing you wanted to create for your blog. The lead magnet that's been on your to-do list for months. The sales page for that digital product idea. The email welcome sequence you started and abandoned at email three. The content strategy you mapped out but never executed. How long has it been sitting there unfinished? A month? Six months? A year? Now imagine opening your email...

Today is January 1st, 2026. You woke up with that feeling. That mixture of hope and determination that only exists on this day. That fragile belief that this year will be different. That this is finally the year your blog takes off, your email list grows, your digital product launches, your income becomes real. I want to honor that feeling. That spark of "this is my year" energy is beautiful. It's...

Close your eyes and imagine this: You wake up tomorrow, check your email, and find a message that says "Your new lead magnet is done. PDF designed, opt-in page copy written, email delivery sequence set up. Ready for your review." You didn't spend hours fighting with Canva. You didn't agonize over headlines. You didn't watch three more YouTube tutorials about lead magnet design. It just... exists n...

You've been doing this the smart way. The frugal way. Piecing together free YouTube tutorials on blogging for beginners, downloading every freebie about email marketing and Pinterest strategy, buying courses only when they're on sale. You've been proud of not throwing money at your problems. You've been responsible. And you're bleeding money you can't even see. This episode is about the math none...

You've tried the habit trackers. You've set the alarms. You've written "BE CONSISTENT" on sticky notes that have faded into background noise you no longer even see. You've promised yourself that this Monday would be different, that this month you'd finally stick to your blog content calendar, that this year would be the year you stopped starting and stopping and starting again. And every time you'...

You feel busy all the time. You're watching blogging tutorials before work, saving Instagram posts about content strategy during lunch, taking notes on email marketing courses after dinner. You're exhausted from all the effort. So why does your blog look exactly the same as it did a year ago? Why is your email list still stuck? Why haven't you launched that digital product yet? This episode reveal...

You've taken the blogging courses. You've saved the blog posts. You've filled notebooks with strategies you swore you'd implement "this weekend." And yet here you are, another year passing, your blog looking exactly the same as it did twelve months ago. This episode is the one nobody else will tell you. The uncomfortable truth about why intelligence, curiosity, and a love for learning might actual...

This episode of the Boss Lady Bloggers Podcast is different. No frameworks. No teaching. Just a personal conversation with you before the beta closes tomorrow at midnight. If you've been listening to every episode, reading every email, thinking about joining but haven't yet, this is for you. I see you. I know you're on the fence. And I want to be honest about what's really at stake. What This Epis...

In this episode, I'm answering every question I've received through DMs and emails, plus the questions I know you're thinking even if you haven't asked them out loud. No more wondering if this is right for you. It's time to get the...

This isn't a comfortable episode of The Boss Lady Bloggers podcast. It's not designed to be. It's designed to show you the truth about where you're headed if nothing changes in your blogging business. Six months from now. One year from now. Two years from now. I'm painting both pictures today. The future where you keep waiting and the future where you finally take action. Both are available to you...

You have a to-do list a mile long. Blogging and business tasks scattered across notebooks and apps and sticky notes. And every time you sit down to work on your blog and business, you feel paralyzed because everything feels equally important. In this episode of the Boss Lady Bloggers Podcast, I’m giving you the actual framework I use to decide what matters every single week when I work on my blogg...

You’ve bought the blogging courses. You’ve watched the trainings. You’ve downloaded the PDFs and bookmarked the strategies and told yourself that this time, this next thing, would finally be the answer. It wasn’t. And you’re starting to wonder if anything ever will be. In this episode of the Boss Lady Bloggers podcast, I’m validating your skepticism while showing you why The Productive Blogger Met...

You’re new. Excited. Maybe a little terrified. You see other bloggers making it look easy and you’re wondering if you’re already behind before you’ve even started. In this episode, I’m dropping the coach voice and talking to you like you’re family. If my little sister called me tomorrow and said she wanted to start a blog, this is exactly what I’d tell her. No fluff. No overwhelming strategy. Just...

You’ve been doing the work. Writing the posts. Pinning. Batching. Learning. And still, the needle barely moves. This episode kicks off launch week for The Productive Blogger Method beta, and I’m not holding back. I’m naming the real reason your blog isn’t generating the income you deserve, and it has nothing to do with your niche, your content, or how hard you’re working. It’s your execution rhyth...

You've been staring at your blog for months (maybe years), convinced you picked the wrong blog niche. You watch other bloggers succeed in what looks like your exact space while you're stuck refreshing analytics and wondering if you should rebrand. Again. Here's the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to hear: your niche probably isn't the problem. Your execution is. In this episode, I'm breaking down...
