Creating Sweet New Roots: Cortney Sparkman’s Blogging Story
SHOW NOTES: Episode 112
It’s always nice to chat with our former students! We had the pleasure of interviewing Cortney Sparkman about her significant shift from a corporate career to the world of blogging.
Cortney opens up about the challenges she had, the common misconceptions surrounding the blogging industry, and stresses the importance of treating your blog like a business from day one.
Transitioning from a corporate writer to a blogger wasn’t easy. Cortney opened up about the common misconceptions people have about blogging. Many see it as a hobby or a side project, not realizing the amount of hard work, dedication, and professionalism it requires.
She also shares more about the value that the bootcamp and the membership has given her.
Between her husband’s encouragement and the value that she gets from the membership, Cortney helps us to remember that having the right community is so important.
This episode was such an inspiration! If you are on the fence about starting your blogging business, we hope that today’s episode helps you move forward and follow your dreams.
