Blogs every creative female entrepreneur should follow!
My 2 year business anniversary is rapidly approaching and I still feel like I don’t have it all figured out when it comes to my business goals and objectives. In spite of that, it has been a steadfast journey, which has taught me that asking for help and seeking expertise from seasoned designers, entrepreneurs, and business owners is the way to figure things out and learn.
In an office, you would learn from your neighbouring colleague, your team or even your director. As a freelancer, that face-to-face approach to learning becomes a bit more muddled, as there is no physical representation of that more knowledgeable person to help you in a time of need. A way to overcome that hurdle is by seeking out that information that you need, ‘aka’ Google-It (italics). But what about those questions and topics you don’t even know you should be addressing and answering?
That is where Blog hunting comes into play. I’m always on the hunt for inspiration, be it visually appealing graphics, learning new skills, finding out the best process to use for something, or anything in between. Seeking out what others are accomplishing and what lessons they have learned along the way is one of the best resources the web has to offer. Below I have compiled a list of go-to blogs that I have found helpful in my entrepreneur journey, and that will hopefully save you hours of sourcing for this material.
This girl is like a walking “goal” mine for all things business and social media marketing-related. Between her hit podcast the Goal Digger Podcast (italics), her blog, and her courses, she has majorly established herself as one of the ultimate experts in the field of online marketing.
I’ve followed the couple behind Station Seven, Brittni and Mike, for a while and LOVE the themes they put out for WordPress and Squarespace. They write a blog which is also packed full of awesome content for bloggers and designers to help kick their web presence up a notch. Lastly, if you need help with CSS, HTML & SEO know-how’s, this is your pit-stop!
This girl is the Pinterest queen. Anastasia runs a blog & youtube channel full of helpful tips, marketing strategies and blogging tricks, amongst other things. She puts out a TON of content, but I always find her articles to be super detailed, in-depth and transparent about her whole process. As an added plus, she also lives in (as she calls it) the ‘California of Europe’ (italics) - Portugal.
Kaitlyn over at the Crown Fox is part Virtual Assistant, part Graphic Designer, so her blog handles both subjects and gives advice for creatives and entrepreneurs looking to manage their content and creative energy in the best way possible. All of her content is applicable whether you are just starting out or if you’ve been at it for years.
With so many interesting blogs on the web these days, this list doesn’t even begin to scrape the surface. If you’d like to know a couple more blogs that have made it to my go-to blog list, then keep tuned, as I’ll be writing a follow-up blog post on this subject in the weeks to come.
