About this episode:

Can you build, scale, and sell a profitable blog WITHOUT using a broker? 

My guest today is Carrie Smith Nicholson, an online entrepreneur, project manager for virtual teams, and pro blogger who did exactly that! 

Though she initially started blogging to document her own personal debt journey, Carrie found her sweet spot when she combined both her background in finance and her fondness for all things marketing. She created a wildly successful blog and in 2018, sold it for nearly six figures — all without the help of a broker! 

Since then, she’s taken her expertise and created a roadmap entitled, “The Ultimate Guide to Selling a Blog: How to Sell Your Blog for Six Figures and Be Your Own Broker,” for others to do the same. 

As you’ll hear in my interview, I had the pleasure of working with Carrie as a foundational member of Team Flourish, and I’m thrilled that she’s here on the podcast sharing her tips for building a blog in 2021 and scaling it to sell — just like she did!  

In this episode we chat about:

• How she found her digital marketing SWEET SPOT and used it to fuel her finance blog
• The VITAL piece of advice she has for bloggers and brand ambassadors looking to negotiate brand deals
• What steps to take when prepping to sell a blog WITHOUT the help of a broker
• How INTENTION and the power of focus helped shape her new business venture

…and more!
