Hi y’all. I’m Allison. I am a lifestyle blogger with years of experience in government finances and taxes. Bloggin' Away has allowed me the opportunity to do what I love doing best – helping others.

Helping others has always been a passion of mine. And for that reason, I have volunteered with many wonderful organizations. I have built homes with Habitat for Humanity, delivered meals with Meals on Wheels, been a Guardian ad Litem for children in foster care, organized food drives for our local Baskervill Food Pantry, was receptionist for Smith Medical Clinic, and so much more.

Reinventing Myself

Through the years I have had to reinvent myself, due to various reasons. Because of that, I have taught myself how to organize my time, manage my finances, and find creative and innovative ways to get through the tough times.
I have always been a believer in “Working Smarter, Not Harder”! So I thought I would share with you my FREE business, blogging, and marketing tips to get you started “Bloggin’ Away”.

Let’s Give ‘em Something To Talk About!

Well, since you’ve gotten this far, I’m assuming you are interested in hearing about “Bloggin’ Away”.

  • Are you tired of working your 9 to 5 job and never having enough at the end of the week or month to enjoy the things you would like to do?
  • Do you need more money to pay your bills?
  • Do you want more free time?
  • Are you looking for financial freedom and being in control of your income?

You have come to the right place.

Why trust me?

I am a regular person, just like you, who had a “secret” dream of blogging and making money from it. Why a secret? Well, how many people have you told you were going to create a blog and make money online?

Too many people do not understand blogging and how you make money from it. Most people are uncomfortable and do not want to talk about things they do not understand.

Well, I finally “took the plunge” and created my blog. And the whole world knows! My blog offers wonderful useful and entertaining information to enhance your life. I like to bring you traditional and innovative ideas about blogging, recipes, budgets, finances, and life hacks.

It’s fairly easy to start your own blog, but not as simple as most bloggers make it out to be. I will show you the straight forward way to do it and how to avoid the mistakes that I made along the way.

What are the basics that you need to start “Bloggin’ Away”?

  • Computer
  • Internet Connection
  • Email Address
  • Good Work Ethic

What do you blog about?

What are you passionate about? Is there something you already love talking about and want to share with others? If so, that’s great. If not, the following are popular general topics that work well for bloggers.

  • Food/Recipes
  • Sports
  • Travel/Adventures
  • Family
  • Health
  • Fitness/Yoga
  • Diets (Keto, Paleo, Vegan)
  • Relationships
  • Motherhood
  • Money/Finances
  • Budgets/Coupons/Frugal Living

You won’t really know what your readers want until you start blogging. Pick your “Niche”, write a few blogs about different sub topics in your “Niche” and see what your readers are responding to. Continue to give the readers what they are responding to. Remember, it is about what your readers are telling you they want and not necessarily what you “think” they want, or need.

Think of a blog as a long conversation. Make certain you include some personal stories that relate to your blog, so your readers connect with you. And make sure that your readers walk away with something of value after reading your post.

Golden Rules for Blogs

Can I start a blog for FREE?

You can if you want to, but I don’t recommend it if you want to build it into a business.
Free blogging platforms come with many limitations.
  • You don’t own your domain name
  • Monetizing limitations, like not being able to run ads
  • Limited functionality
  • Limited customization
  • Looks unprofessional and may not be viewed as a trusted source
  • And many other reasons…

How much does it cost to start a blog?

Today you can do it for a few dollars a month and this includes your domain name. This cost is for the blog hosting, which is the #1 most important investment you will make.

My recommendation because it is the best value for your money…

WordPress.org – this is the #1 platform for bloggers.

Disclosure: I am an affiliate for Bluehost, the hosting company that I use and recommend. This means that I receive a commission if you sign up through my affiliate link. This is at no additional cost to you. In fact, you receive a special discounted price through my affiliate link. 

Bluehost.com – this is one of the few web hosting companies that WordPress recommends and one of the oldest web hosting companies around. And my favorite, after much research.

You can cancel risk-free for 30 days. Bluehost offers a guarantee that allows you to cancel your plan at any time during the first 30 days and get a FULL refund.

Other things you will need, to start your blog, have free options you can use and I will provide you that information along the way.
