Blogging Part 1:

Lindsay: Bourbon & Lipstick (http://bourbonlipstickandstilettos.com)

Started Blogging in 2011, under a different name. Started back up again in 2014

Bourbon & Lipstick is a Southern Lifestyle Blog

Started out primarily as a beauty blog, but realized how expensive it was to keep up with purchasing new releases

Needed a creative outlet

The first post was about bras

Christine: Simply Stine (https://www.simplystine.com)

Started in 2012

Simply Stine is a Beauty and Southern Lifestyle Blog

Started out primarily as a hobby as blogs were becoming popular and she was getting asked a lot of questions about related issues

Evolved beyond beauty as she realized she wanted to spend time sharing more of her life and other issues, topics, etc.

The first post was about a Bath & Body Works product line

We discuss:

Social Media (Buying likes, followers, etc)

Instagram and why we think it's pretty much the worst at times

Loop Giveaways

How to put together a media kit and work on approaching brands for sponsored work, etc

Why we both question those that ONLY post sponsored content

We answer if we think blogging has changed since we both started

The difference between Influencers and Bloggers

We'll be back next Wednesday for a new episode! We'll continue this conversation about blogging and answer the questions you sent to us!
