Are you a blogger who is currently struggling to grow your brand?
On today’s episode of No Parking we spoke with lifestyle blogger & digital media expert Christina Brown. Christina is the creator of the popular blog lovebrownsugar.com, babybrownsugar.com, and the new digital empowerment community #browngirlslove. Christina shares her personal blogging story and how she was able to transition from working in editorial and beauty/fashion PR into being an influencer full-time.
Remember, no brand was built in a day. In order to grow a successful blog (and one that you can churn a full-time profit from) you have to be it for the long-run. In Christina’s words: “There is nobody out there who is exactly like you. Everyone brings something different to the table. Where people get caught up is trying to copy and replicate what has already been done.”
