I wanted to make this post more for me than anyone else. Having it posted publicly not only helps me keep track of the multiple blogs I manage but also holds me accountable since I know others read my blog posts! Plus, I’m learning something new every time I hit publish, so I’ll be updating it over time to reflect more accurate information.
All My Niche Blogs:
If you’ve ever thought about blogging? I have a dozen blogs NOT just my personal blog — I also have multiple niche blogs.
Some of them are obviously more successful or further along than others, since some are more like hobby blogs, and I haven’t put as much time and energy into them. But…
My Personal Blog
It all starts with ME Blogging Brandi and branches out from there! I use my personal brand to cross-promote my business brands.
Currently, I’ve been Rebranding myself from “Bloggin Brandi” to “Blogging Brandi” over the past year so that alone has been a massive move and I am rebranding online. I accidentally deleted my entire “old” website thinking it was unimportant so my personal website has been a work in progress. Not my 100% focus. But, I wanted a space to talk about something other than “RVing” which is all I’ve talked about on my RV Blog for several years!
TBH I also ONLY focused on creating YouTube Videos and reposting them to my personal blog so I wasn’t thinking about growing my website at the time.
BUT…
It all started with Blogging Brandi, and then I started talking about my RV life, but I was talking about my RV life on Blogging Brandi.
I figured out not everybody on Blogging Brandi cared about my RV life. And so then I created RVersity, my RV Lifestyle Blog, and eventually it trickled into more blogs than that…
So Blogging Brandi is more of where I can share ANYTHING “my lifestyle blog” – my Personal Brand and Website.
My RV Lifestyle Blog
I share all about my RV Life via RVersity my University for RVers! All I’ve focused on for many years has been my RV Life. Mainly because I’ve been living stationary in my RV so it was only natural to want to talk about my RV!
But, For a while, I only shared videos on my RV YouTube Channel and republished them to my blog. Now, I’ve been working to BLOG more, so I just started to track these numbers. And I used to focus solely on selling my online RV courses. Which required me to take phone calls and more time away from creating content or focusing on my blog. Either way I’ve been working on tracking the numbers…
My Travel Blog
Maps and Miles is my Travel Blog where I share all my travel tips, tricks, tools, resources, essentials, and destination guides. I don’t talk about my RV life or travel related there, although I do cross-reference them.
My Dog & Cat Blogs
Dog Blog
I LOVE my dog! All of them, right now I have 4 dogs and 1 cat, but that changes all the time since I foster and rescue new furbabies all the time!
So I created my dog blog called “Birdies Doghouse” and all the social media for @BirdiesDoghouse to put all the pictures, videos, favorite products, and more. I mainly wanted to talk about my dogs and share more about them.
Cat Blog
And then we have a cat. So Johnny has his own cat Blog Cattitude Chaos.
I want to say this is more of a hobby blog than anything else. It is set up like a business and monetized (a little) but I haven’t spent a whole lot of time creating content.
My Money Blog
Before I ever started blogging or got into this and figured out what my gifts were, I was working a nine to five job over at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, just giving my life away to everyone else BUT I knew it wasn’t my story. I called my Sara Blakely moment, but I knew it wasn’t for me.
I went to college and did the whole thing because my parents wanted me to do that. Really just my dad. My mom’s always like, do whatever you want, I support you. And so she’s like the best. But my dad is like nine to five system. Do everything by the book.
Even if you’re in the system and you’re thinking, I wish I could get out, I wish that I discovered blogging back when I was in my finance job, obviously, that has never left me. My dad is a big money guru and he does stocks and trading,
and so I have a background in not only cutting hair before I ever did any of this, I went back to school for my finance degree.
So yeah, my background is in Finance, Investments, and Accounting (aka I know a lot about Money)!
“Fancy Financials” or my “Money Blog” where all I talk about is money! How To make money, manage money, budget, finance, and more….
MY STORY: Bank of America Merrill Lynch / Finance background + Hair school
My Faith-Based & Religious Blog
Redirected Energy is my religious and faith-based blog where I share things like daily devotionals and all my Bible besties.
My Digital Nomad Blog (for RVers)
I have RVing for Bosses is like a spinoff of RVersity. It is my Digital Nomad and money blog for RVers.
My Business & Branding Blog
I wrote a book about How To “Brand Like A Boss” And then I created a website and a Business & Branding Blog called “BLABoss” where I share all the tools and resources I mentioned in the book.
With this blog, I cover all the FAQs I get about business and branding. From Websites to Email list building, Social Media, and YouTube video marketing, plus more…
I have to be honest when I was stuck at home not traveling or RVing I spent a lot more time helping others build their business and working on my blogs, brand, etc…. then I took a little Hiatus from business talk to focus on my RV content so I did NOT pay as much attention to this as I normally would.
My Sober Lifestyle Blog
And then I also have one called The Drops of B, which is my sober living blog, and I talk all about sobriety and whatnot.
My ReSelling Blog
I have Ambay Exchange, which is my reselling blog, and I talk all about reselling and flipping items and making money with things you already have around the house, or going to thrift stores and auctions and things like that. I actually started flipping and reselling items to get out of my nine to five job.
ReSelling is what started it all for me and allowed me the freedom to quit my corporate job, start a business, and eventually led me to starting a BLOG!
This is a little BTS of How I got started reselling aka Flipping or Retail Arbitrage and just one of the ways I’ve found for how to make money online as a fairly Passive income stream. Whether you’re Selling on eBay, Poshmark, Amazon, Ambay Exchange, etc… this is where I share my Tips to become a successful reseller.
Plus what I sell to make money online, the type of items I sell, and which ones are the most profitable! A Long time ago I came up with the name “Ambay Exchange” = Amazon + Ebay 😉
Starting a business before blogging
A lot of people think that you just start this wonderful blog and make all this money.
BUT I never started blogging or anything until after I had started a business.
I started a business and then became a blogger when I went through a life-changing personal tragedy. I started blogging to heal.
My Blogging Blog
Last But not least it brings me to THIS blog you’re reading, which is my blogging blog! I decided to name it my “Born To Blog Club” because that’s how I feel! Plus, I get asked so many questions about my BLOG(S) especially when someone says “What do you do?” and I have to reply oh you know “I’m just a blogger” 🙂
This was started more of a passion and hobby, plus a way for me to niche down and elaborate on one topic I love which is WRITING but I don’t have time to write and publish tons of books. So I find that blogging is a way to get the content out faster and be able to edit it. Plus, you know I just love to BLOG! Hence why my name is “Blogging Brandi”
