In episode 48 on #MerryBiz we chat with our good friend in the blogosphere.
7 years ago while working within the magazine world she started a blog, Drop Dead Gorgeous Daily.
She had no idea what she was doing but learnt many things on the way. Now Drop Dead Gorgeous Daily has 450,000+ readers a month and earns a multiple 6-figure revenue.
But her true passion is teaching other bloggers to turn their blogs into profitable businesses. She’s the founder of Secret Bloggers Business and she is just a super lovely person.
We’re so excited to welcome Kate Mckibbin to #MerryBiz!
Take a listen!
