100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers
Creating a blog to travel the world is the dream of so many travelers. There are graveyards all around the world full of peoples blogging dreams. Many people try and many people fail….myself included. However, even though blogging can be a tough nut to crack these days, there are people that are doing it, and teaching others how to find success in the blogging world.
Today’s guest is Alex Nerney the co-founder of Avocadu.com and Create & Go. Alex, and his partner quit their jobs to start blogging just over three years ago and as luck would have it, they had nearly immediate success. Their first month earning, $170, then $900 in the second month and doubling it almost every month after until their seventh month when they hit $40,000 in one month. They had achieved the bloggers dream and now consistently produce over $100,000+ per month.
On the show, we chat with Alex on what is really working in the blogging world and what is not. We chat about how Pinterest has become their top-performing social media platform giving them around 4.4 million views per month and around 200,000 visits to their website. We also chat with Alex on the theme of this series, influence. Alex and I get into a great conversation about how people are using and abusing influence in today’s world, and how to find the “right” influencers to follow.
