The Single Best Resource for Bloggers on the Internet

Blogging4Keeps

Big big big big news today! I haven’t been this excited (and nervous) to hit publish on a blog post in a long time! 

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ve noticed me dropping little hints here and there about an exciting new project I’ve been working on with Blair. 

Well, today, I can finally spill the beans! 

Announcing, our brand new website: 

Blogging For Keeps! 






As many of you know, I run an email-only blogging advice column called Ask Jess. Blair also runs something similar–a series on her site called Blog Better. We were sitting down at her kitchen table this past February (yes, as in a month ago) talking about where we envisioned our blogs and businesses going, realizing that we both had a passion for helping other bloggers grow, but didn’t really know where to go with it next. 

Blogging has done so much for us (we wouldn’t even know each other if not for blogging!) and we want that for others, too. 

Deciding two heads were better than one, the idea for Blogging For Keeps was born. We hit the ground running–and a mere few weeks, several glasses of wine, and countless cups of coffee later, here we are–opening day! 

We created this community specifically for bloggers who are serious about turning their hobbies into hustles.

We were tired of clicking on “blogging advice” link bait only to find generic, unhelpful, and non-actionable information. (Where is all the REAL behind the scenes information? How can it not exist anywhere?)

That’s why goal for BFK is to make this the single most helpful resource for lifestyle bloggers on the internet. Not just a website, but a community of bloggers helping other bloggers. There will be weekly blog posts, Q&A emails, webinars, live chats, free downloads, extra credit worksheets and more. All the content you see on the site will be dictated and requested by you. 

So, if you’re a blogger, or even thinking about starting a blog one day, go ahead and pop on over to Blogging For Keeps and check it out! (I can’t take credit for how pretty it looks–that’s ALL Blair! Remember, two heads, totally better than one!)

When you sign up for our email list, you’ll also gain access to our FREE [frequently updated] library of resources and worksheets specifically designed to help fashion and lifestyle bloggers tackle their biggest blogging challenges, like:

  2. How to take a great Instagram Flat Lay (Step by Step!) 
  3. The Instagram Posting Checklist (What to do before and after every post to promote growth!)
  4. The 12 Month Blog + Social Media Growth Tracker 

Okay, enough blabbing–go check it out for yourself! I’d love to hear your feedback!
