I love blogging.  I spend way more time blogging than I ever imagined but it doesn’t bother me at all because it is something that I truly enjoy.  That said though, I have a few favorite blogging tools that make my life a little easier and blogging a little faster.  I know I am always wondering what other bloggers use for their day to day blogging stuff so I thought I would share mine with you!

How to Use Affiliate Marketing

May 15, 2014 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

Today’s first post is all about how to use affiliate marketing on your blog.  I took a class on affiliate marketing while at Snap! Conference and I feel like I learned so much that I need to put into practice.  Of course, I didn’t write this post since I haven’t really been all that great with my affiliate marketing techniques.  Thankfully, I was able to reach out to someone who was far more knowledgeable than I am!

How to Create a Watermark in Picmonkey

May 13, 2014 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

Now that you have learned basics of how to start a blog, it is time to learn all the other things that come with your blog.  This post for the “How To” series comes from a good blogging friend of mine.  I am always blowing up her Facebook messenger with questions or general talk about blogging {and life}.  She is also one of my go to people for graphics and advice on how to tweak my photos.  We are headed to BlogHer Food today this year and I am psyched.  Meet Allyson…

Hey y’all! I am Allyson from Domestic Superhero and I am super thrilled to be blogging for Shannah today! I’ve known Shannah for a while in the ‘blogging world’ and have always followed her blog.  I always look to her for advice and help when I need it, so I am flattered she asked me to create a how-to post for her readers.  Over at my blog, Domestic Superhero, I mainly blog about food, but I also throw in the occasional DIY, product review, or craft.  During the last 2.5 years I have been blogging, I have invested a lot of time into learning how to take great photos, and I am excited to share how to protect those photos with a watermark. The last thing anyone needs is some random person stealing her photos for their own gain! Not cool!

Tips for Using StumbleUpon to Grow Your Blog

February 20, 2014 By Shannah Coe 12 Comments

I shared this a few weeks ago over at Plucky’s Second Thought as part of Jess’s Tips and Tricks series.  I wanted to make sure you guys all saw it too so I am re-sharing my tips for using StumbleUpon for your blog here.

One of my major goals for 2014 is to increase the number of people who visit my blog.  Of course, I want them to all stick around once they get here but getting them here is my first goal.  StumbleUpon has been a HUGE traffic driver for me since the start of the year and I am absolutely loving it {if you are here FROM SU, thanks so much for stumbling in!}.  Along the way, I’ve learned a few things about StumbleUpon that I wanted to share with you in case you were interested in trying it out.
