In addition to this blog, I’ve been known to run a few others as well.  I’m one of the lucky few who’s managed to cobble a living out of blogging.  Whenever people ask me what I do the conversation invariably goes one of two ways:

“So, what do you do?”

“I blog.”

“Oh.  So you’re unemployed, then?”

OR

“So, what do you do for a living?”

“I blog.”

“That’s awesome!  How did you ever get into doing that?”

I got into blogging when I started my personal blog and fell deeply in love with the practice and medium.  I was hugely fortunate to snag a job with Qvisory, a non-profit start-up who gave me the chance to blog for a living.  I wrote mostly about work-related topics for 18-34 year olds and recruited other bloggers to write for the site as well.

Now, I run the blog of a company called Bottle Your Brand.  I built that blog from the ground up and I’m immensely proud of it.  I write about anything and everything relating to personalized labels and am now a quasi-expert on weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and homebrewing.  Yay me.

I also helped launch a super-awesome site called Offbeat Mama.  We launched in late September 2009 and I had a lot of fun learning from Ariel of Offbeat Bride fame.  I wrote quite a bit for the site, and handled a variety of content management stuff.
