This post is super interesting. I am 50 and still struggling with owning an iPhone ha ha so you can imagine that this whole thing about how people actually make a living from blogging had me really, really puzzled for ages until I read this post. How fab, and how hard you have worked!

Hi Kelly!

Thank you so much for your sharing your inspirational journey!

Growing up I was all about DIY and that carried on in my years in university. Unfortunately, it got buried in my working years but since going freelance my love for crafting came back with a vengeance. And I partially blame you: I’ve been reading your blog since its start and it helped me feel comfrotable with my crafting skills again. Thank you.

Best,
Charlotte

Hello Kelly,
my name is Claudia and I’m your follower from Italy.
I follow about 1 year your blog and social and give me a lot of inspiration.
I also have a blog for about 3 years, and by reading this post you made me decide that it is time to make the leap.
My DIY are becoming more frequent and I try to publish quality photos.
Each week I publish the best DIY of the week and often quote your blog. I hope it’s not a problem for you.
But I wanted to ask: how can I create me a network of contacts here in Italy? I would like to send email to email to the brand but I’m afraid to make mistakes and not be taken into consideration.
I believe in my project and I hope one day to start a business of my own.

Sorry for my English.
have a nice day!

In reply to Mercedes. Thanks Mercedes! =) They did find me, and I'm very grateful for that! It seems to be a pretty new industry. Honestly, my best advice (which is what I did and continue to do today!) is to just continue to grow and hone your brand so it's distinct and recognizable with an engaged audience! Then, they'll find you! =)

Hi Kelly! I’m a serious fan of everything you do! This post is so informative and useful, thank you for taking the time to share your story. I wanted to ask you about finding a manager. I have been doing some research but it seems to be a difficult service to find. I’m not sure my blog is at that point yet but I would love to look into it. Can you give me any pointers on where to start? I’m assuming they found you, but thought I would ask anyway. Thanks so much and keep rockin’ out! You’re such an inspiration 🙂

Hi Kelly!

I just found you today via Craftgawker. Oh my. SO INSPIRING!!! I’m just getting my craft adventure going, and it is extremely motivating to see what is possible. I don’t think I would want something quite on the scale you’re doing, but to know people are successful in our line of work is so good to know. I will definitely be following you. Thanks for sharing your story! I love your happy, upbeat projects! AND THE COLOR!!! Yes to color!

I’ve loved reading about your journey. It’s funny, I just always remember Studio DIY existing! LOL
Do you mind sharing who you use for blogger management?
