  2. Hi Stacey,

    Fabulous list.

My fave personal tip: write LOL :) Sitting down to practice writing daily made a huge difference with my online trajectory, for when I set aside time to write, daily, opportunities seemed to multiply for me in front of my eyes. From features to guest posts to all those sweet gigs, writing can open a wealth of opportunities for any blogger.

    Thanks a bunch and happy 2017!
