Are you a writer or just a blogger?
I Googled this question the other day after watching an old YouTube video by Ianthia Smith on this topic.
Ianthia is a news reporter turned lifestyle blogger and in the video, she interviewed her former boss who has followed a similar path.

This week I got to write a story for one of my favorite local magazines. I was interviewed for a podcast. I got to meet with tourism bureaus who want to pay for me to travel to their cities.

And I had meetings for two potential partnerships that could allow me to have more impact and make more income in 2020.
I’m not going to lie — this week made me feel like a badass babe. But here’s the thing: I didn’t do anything this week that you can’t do, too.
