When I first decided to start The Blonde Chef, I knew next to nothing about blogging. For the first few weeks here on TBC, I relied solely on trial and error hoping that eventually I would stumble upon the recipe to success.
Luckily, a month into my food blogging journey, I met Chelsea Lords. Now, for those of you who don’t know, Chelsea is the successful blogger over at Chelsea’s Messy Apron. From the minute we started talking, I was amazed at the depth of knowledge she possessed and was willing to share with me! When she told me that she had an ebook as well, I immediately read it. When I finished pouring over its contents I knew that I had to share it with you guys!
Each page of her book is filled with invaluable tips that could only come from a professional. In it, Chelsea covers food photography, growing your social media following, income and expense management (including printable spreadsheets!!), and tips for working with other companies. Basically, it’s a gold mine for new and veteran bloggers. Since reading her book, I have seen incredible growth on my own blog and now have a clear path for my first year of blogging. For those who have recently started a blog, or are thinking of starting one, you need this ebook (Click the link below, to get your own copy!)!

Well, this certainly got my attention! LOL. Thanks for the tip! 🙂
Of course! Definitely one of the best books on blogging out there!
Okay you are seriously the best!! Thanks for shout-out and all your kind words!! So, SO glad we “met” and can’t wait to hang out when we are both in UT! 🙂
Ummm you’re amazing! And I can’t wait either! Wahoo!
I al always interested to learn more about blogging, so heading to get the ebook.
Yay! Let me know how you like it! I keep going back to take more and more notes haha.
This is so encouraging, Aubrie. Thanks for sharing this … and answering my question 🙂 BTW, I can’t get link to the book. It says it’s broken. 🙁
Linda!! I owe you one. I had no idea the link was broken! Thank you for commenting and letting me know! And I am so glad you like the post! 🙂
Thank You for posting this! I happened upon it yesterday, have already purchased the book, and am learning so much : )
Hey Carlynn! I’m so glad you are enjoying it as much as I did!
Well that was an incredibly misleading title and image. This was essentially a post about nothing.
Hi Kay, I’m so sorry you feel that way! I was just sharing a book that truly helped me find success in starting this blog! Have a wonderful day!
Hey Aubrie!
I clicked the link as I would love to purchase the book yet the link takes me to Chelsea’s post on becoming an affiliate for the e-book. I would love to purchase through you as I found the book through your website. Let me know if this can be updated 🙂 or if you can send the direct link.
Thanks!
Talk soon,
Melissa
Hey, Melissa!
Thank you for letting me know the link is broken. I’ve been looking into it and am having an issue fixing the problem. BUT! I hope to get it resolved today (I’ll comment again once it’s fixed). Thanks for commenting!
Aubrie
I’m having the same problem. I can poke around on the site and find it but not sure you’ll get the affiliate credit for the purchase 🙁
Hi! Although I love food blogs, I’m actually in process of building and growing a blog about using my journey at finding balance for all my passions and important things in life in the hopes of helping other women do the same. I was wondering if you thought that Chelsea’s book would still be useful for me?
Thanks in advance!
Definitely! While she does tailor a lot of her tips for food bloggers, they can be applied to many different genres of blogging! What I really enjoyed about her book were the many resources she lists to building exposure for bloggers. Definitely let me know if you buy it and if it helps you!
I’m a single mom of a rambunctious 20 month old boy who happens to have Down Syndrome! I’ve been really thinking about starting a blog. What type of content do you suggest blogging about to gain traffic?
Hi, Jayci!
I would definitely recommend that you write about what you know! I know there are probably many other moms with boys similar to yours who would love advice or even just reading about your experience raising a child with Down Syndrome! As for traffic, I have found that trying to share my content as much as I can and reaching out to bloggers I admire goes a long, long way! Good luck with everything!
This is great! I looking forward to reading it. Thanks for sharing.
@TBC, was wondering if the link ever got fixed. I wanna get the ebook but keeps sending me to Chelseas page and becoming an affiliate. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for checking in! I never did fix it but I have still been getting some affiliate payments coming through so I think if you click to buy on her website I still get the commission haha. But you are so nice to even check in ! Let me know if that works!
Your success is an inspiration. Did you know much about marketing your blog and business when you started, with affiliates and social media and such? Or was it something you had to learn along the way?
I Adore your blog! it looks amazing! giving ebook a read. thanks!!
