Welcome to Part 2 of my interview with blogger Jess Keys (Click here for Part 1). Jess is founder a editor of The Golden Girl, a lifestyle blog for millennial women to leave them feeling inspired rather than inadequate. Jess has accomplished the VERY difficult feat of making blogging a full time job.    In Part One, we covered everything from how Jess got into blogging, to how she narrowed her niche and her audience, her content a distribution process, and how she uses SEO, Pinterest a Instagram to drive traffic.    On Part Two, we hit topics like monetization, collaborations, affiliate marketing and more. It is incredibly hard to make a full time living from a blog and Jess really goes into detail on how she did it.    Jess also has a "side hustle" with her blogger friend, Blair of The Fox and She, called Blogging4Keeps.com–where they post helpful content and online courses to help bloggers turn their hobbies into hustles.   As a bonus, Blogging4Keeps and I are working on a blogging branding worksheet for you. I'll be adding the link to the shownotes when it's ready and I'll share the url in next week's episode   --------   Freebie Pinterest Checklist: brittanykrystle.com/pinterest   To connect with Jess:   Website   Instagram To connect with Brittany Instagram Twitter LinkedIn  Website Facebook Sign up here if you want to receive the latest news on growing you industry influence! #beyondinfluentialpodcast
