ProBlogger: Interview with Full Time Blogger – Holly Becker from decor8

Interview with Full Time Blogger – Holly Becker from decor8

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 06:35 AM PDT

Late last week I spent a fascinating hour with Holly Becker from decor8 – an amazing interior design blog that is read by over 35,000 readers a day.

Today I’d like to share that interview with you as an example of a blogger who has made a living from blogging by building a niche focused blog.

decor8 has opened up many doors of opportunity for Holly. She makes a full time living from the blog (and also employs a regular columnist as well as her husband to run the back end) and it has led to other exciting possibilities including a book deal.

In this podcast interview Holly:

shares the story behind starting decor8
gives insight into how she keeps coming up with fresh content ideas
shares what type of posts work best at drawing in readers to comment
talks about her decision to bring on a regular columnist
reflects on dealing with negative comments
answers the question of ‘what is a conversion’ for you when a reader hits your blog
share how she’s built her readership
reveals how she makes a full time living from her blog
talks about her other ventures, including her ‘blogging your way’ e-course and up coming book

I love hearing stories like the one Holly shares because it’s yet another example of a blogger who makes a good living her blog (and it’s not a blog about making money on the internet!). I also loved chatting with Holly because she’s all about enhancing the lives of those who read her blog by producing a high quality and inspiring blog.
