How Creators Can Make More Money by Living a Self-Care Focused Life with Megan Porta
So many people outside of our industry hear the worlds “blogger”, “influencer”, or “social media creator” and have their own assumptions about what our job entails.
But, what those people on the outside don’t know is that our job is so much more: It’s putting ourselves out there for the apps to bully - whether that’s by the app itself or by the people using them.
The effects that working in social media full-time can have on our mental health are truly just so real and valid. This is why self-care is so important. Focusing on self-care can actually help make you more money.
Today, we’re here with Megan Porta, a food blogger and the host of Eat Blog Talk podcast. She has an extensive history with not living a balanced life which has set her on a path of constant improvement in that area.
We’re diving into everything you need to know about making sure you’re taking care of yourself and your mental health as a creator AND how it can actually help you make MORE money in your business.
