I have received a good amount of e-mails from people over the years asking how to get started in blogging. I actually received so many, that after much consideration, I decided to start a blogging consulting business. I felt like my background working in blogging, social media, and with an affiliate network gave me enough experience to be able to lend a helping hand to those in need. From that, M.A.S. Consulting was born. I absolutely loved getting to meet you and help you start and grow your blog. I felt like I was really helping you propel your dreams forward. However, once the photography started taking off I had to make a decision on which one to keep and which one to let go. Over the years I have learned you can’t do it all. You must make decisions/sacrifices to be able to dedicate the amount of time it takes to fully grow a business and nurture your passions. Since I have a love for photography, I decided to dedicate my time there.

After a few months of slowing down the consulting side (I still keep a few clients) I continue to receive e-mails from readers who want to know the basics. I am happy to help and am also very humbled that you think to ask me. I still believe my mom is the only one who reads my blog so to have someone ask for my help is an amazing feeling. However, since choosing photography I feel badly I can’t dedicate as much time as I would like for each e-mail I receive. I genuinely wish I could hold all of your hands through the entire process and be your “go-to” person,  but there just aren’t enough hours in the day to do it all. That being said, a few months ago I was asked by the Dallas Blogger Collective to be on a blog “speed dating panel” where bloggers get five minutes with each person (brands, pr firms, bloggers, etc.) to pick our brains. Since I was receiving a decent amount of e-mails from readers asking questions about blogging and how to grow your blog I decided to say yes to the panel. Which I am really excited about and I can’t wait to meet all of you!

If you are in Dallas this evening from 6-8pm I hope you can join me and a panel of other amazing influencers. You have around 5 minutes to pick each of our brains which will hopefully inspire you and help answer all of your questions.

When – Tonight, April 16h

Where – ALTO 211 – Dallas, TX

Time – 6:30-8:30pm
