467: Free Resources Will Only Get You So Far - The Importance of Investing in Your Business with Briana DeBolt & Chamere Orr

In episode 467, Megan chats to Briana DeBolt and Chamere Orr about the importance of investing in our businesses instead of relying on free resources to make progress.

Briana and Chamere of A Full Living are the husband and wife team behind the website! They have been blogging (a bit aimlessly at first) since 2016, and in the past 3 years, have really dug into strategizing to the next level by improving on their photography, SEO knowledge, and hiring contractors to help them manage the day to day of their growing business. Blogging has been their full-time job since mid-2020, and are always looking to improve.

In this episode, you’ll learn why investing in aspects like SEO expertise, mentorship, photography skills and outsourcing in general is important to accelerate your blog’s growth.

- Food bloggers tend to start blogging without understanding SEO and what their readers want.

- ”Diy-ing" your blog by using free resources might slow down your blog’s growth.

- Ask yourself, what do I want to improve first and invest in a course or get help from a mentor.

- Invest in the right skills, for example learning food photography, to take your business to the next level.

- If you outsource, you can free up your time to prioritize another task that will grow your blog.

- Start with resources like a website audit, courses or webinars to learn about targeting keywords that you can rank for.

- The longer you hold off, trying to find out information for free, the longer it will take to make money.

- Never stop learning! You have to stay up to date on best practices all the time.

- Never assume you know it all, there is always areas to improve and learn.
