Elaine tell us about yourself and what you do?

I teach people how to become entrepreneurs by learning how to start, grow, and monetize their BLOG + INSTAGRAM + EMAIL LIST. I’ve spoken on stages all over the world teaching my strategies and have now compiled them into online courses so you can access them at home.


Why did you start LadyBossBlogger?

I wanted to connect with female entrepreneurs and learn how they became a boss! I also wanted to become a blogger and start my own business, so that is how and why LadyBossBlogger started.

What advice do you have for other women who want to start blogging now? Is blogging dead? 

Blogging is constantly evolving – it’s like TV. It started with cable, then went to VCRs and DVDs and now it’s Netflix, but the concept is still relatively the same. Blogging is very different yet similar to what it was 10 years ago, as long as you keep up with the new techniques, you’ll discover that blogging has way more to offer than you’d ever have expected. 

You worked in the wedding industry before. Tell us about that.

I’ve sold everything from gowns, to venues to photo/video packages and more! I was the wedding sales lady. I also got all the wedding industry certifications from proper etiquette training to wedding planning, but as much as I loved it, it also consumed my life. I didn’t have a life outside of work, I woke up to brides calling me and passed out with brides still on the phone with me. 

Because I was on the phone all the time, I am now averse to phone calls which is why blogging has been so amazing because I can do everything I need from my computer without having to talk to anyone or anything in person and my work-life balance is finally in check! The wedding industry was incredibly fun while it lasted, but it definitely burned me out.

How do you find inspiration and motivation to keep going when things get hard?

I travel to a tropical place to relax and rewind. I also start learning again, when I find myself stagnant in business it’s because I’ve stopped learning, so I go back to taking next level courses and start implementing my new strategies. 

Many women dream about making money online. How can they start out to achieve that? 

I learned everything I know from networking, interviewing women, and taking online courses from experts in the field that I like and trust. I would recommend doing it in that order. Attend events (in person and online) to find people that you can learn from, then interview them, and if they have a course (or recommend one), purchase it and implement what you learn. Then repeat. 

What are your big plans for your future?

To continue enjoying life. I work hard, so I can play hard, which is a lesson I learned during COVID. Because everyone suddenly went online all at once, business became super hectic and once again I worked myself too hard and got burnt out. Life isn’t about how hard you work, it’s about how you ENJOY each day in its own little way.
