Shownotes Transcript

My guest this week is the awesome Leslie Samuel. Leslie is a former university professor and the creator of ‘Become A Blogger’ - a blog dedicated to the craft of professional blogging. He’s also the founder and host of a podcast called ‘Blogging with Leslie’ in which he interviews other bloggers who have built successful platforms.

Leslie has a passion for education, and has taken on the mission of - as he calls it - "Changing The World, One Blog At A Time”.

In this interview we discuss how to build a blog that can eventually build you audience, which will eventually you’ll be able to sell products to.

We talk about how to start writing content when you don’t have any audience to consume that content. We also talked about what it takes to create a blog as a side hustle. We talked about tips for maintaining healthy relationships while working on side hustels and online businesses.

We then got into talking about the big question: Which should come first? The social community or the blog?

Finally, Leslie gave one final tip about starting a podcast.
