how to start blogging full time

Celebrating Lifestyle with Laramie- 5 Year Blog Anniversary

Happy Tuesday, friends!

This week we have two blog posts going live and we’re are celebrating something super special today! 5 years ago today I launched Lifestyle with Laramie. I could have never imagined that five years later I would be where I am today!

I started my blog as an escape from my 9-5 office job. A place to talk about everything I enjoy from fashion to travel to everything lifestyle. I slowly grew to take on paid brand partnerships and invested in myself. I hired a business coach, I took mastermind classes and webinars. I’ve built a course and products and things I only ever dreamed of.

I quit my job a year ago to pursue this full time and I couldn’t be happier! I’ll talk move about that story and all about that next week!

I’m so thankful for all of you! Whether you have read my blog posts, purchased products, or commented or liked my posts I can’t thank you enough for all your support and kindness over the years! I can’t believe I’ve made it to this point and I can’t wait to see where this continues to go!

The Benefits of Blogging

Happy Wednesday friends!

Let’s talk blogging and all the benefits that blogging offers!

So many people don’t realize that blogging has tons of benefits when it comes to brand partnerships and your audience.

First off it’s so important to have a website/blog if you are an influencer or even a small business because if you are growing an audience on social media you also need a platform you own: your website. This will help reach more people and house everything for your brand where people can always find it. What if something happens to your social media? Then what? You need something that you actually own and control.

Having a blog will also help if you are an influencer and looking to expand your brand partnership offerings by offering blog posts along with social media posts. This is a great tool to help as brands love having blog posts to corelate with social media posts.

How I Was Able To Quit My Job

Happy Wednesday friends!

I have something special coming back to Lifestyle with Laramie tomorrow and I wanted to take this time to talk about how I was able to quit my job last year. We are coming up on almost 8 months since I left my 9-5 desk job and it’s still unreal!

I wanted to talk about how I was able to quit my job as it was a off the cuff decision even though I had been thinking about it for a while before. The long and the short of it is I started building a blog that was able to support me through brand partnerships, content creator, and educating others. Without my blog I would have never been able to leave my job. My blogging platform on my website has allowed me to connect with my audience as well as brands.
