Thanks, I Made It!

Do you own an online craft business?

Did your business get started because you love making cute things and people asked to ​buy them? Now you are forced to wear the many hats of running a business when all you ​really want to do is create. I see you. I’ve been there, and I’m here to help.

Do you have mounds of Craft or Food content that hasn’t been posted?

Let me turn your creations into long-form content that makes money while you sleep. I ​know how to optimize for search engines and use the correct craft or cooking ​terminology so people can actually follow your tutorial. They won’t even know that on-​page advertisement or affiliate link is fattening your bank account in the process.

It’s not healthy to sit behind a computer all day. Get me out from behind this desk and ​into your restaurant, private party or team building session. I have a library of craft ​projects ready for your guests to mingle and make.

Craft Blog Content Writing

I didn’t touch a sewing machine for two years after selling my sewing blog. Crafting felt more ​like a job than a source of joy. Are you in that boat now? Let me take some work off your ​overflowing plate to give you time to do what brought you to this point - creating!

Why do you need a Blog Content Writer?

It is easy to get burned out on a hobby after turning it into a business. Not only do you have ​to make the recipe or craft, then there is photographing process steps, editing the photos, ​writing the tutorial, creating social media content, emailing your list, responding to ​comments, not to mention all the backend work no one sees like inventory, accounting and ​sponsor regulations.


My favorite blogging task is pulling all the pieces of a post together from photos to keywords, ​writing a workable tutorial to strategically placing links so it is ready to hit publish. I built and ​sold three blogs worth over $100K with the most recent selling in 2021. Since then, it has ​been my honor to work behind the scenes on other people’s craft and food blogs.

Blog Content Strategy

A website serves as the central information hub for your business. To maintain an effective ​and engaging site, it is essential to display a consistent brand identity, adhere to search ​engine optimization (SEO) best practices and regularly update content.

What Exactly Does a Blog Content Writer Do?

Content writing for your food or craft blog will mirror your voice, your brand and your ​standards. I will ensure grammatical accuracy and adhere to the latest SEO guidelines, ​focusing on keywords and helpfulness.


This includes maintaining a consistent tone and voice, using appropriate headings, fonts and ​colors and integrating visual elements. A well-designed site with a blog encourages longer ​visits, more page visits and increased user interaction to enhance the site’s SEO value and ​domain authority.


Readers will never know you didn’t write and post the content yourself. It will be our little ​secret.

Pricing for Content Writing

Let’s get that never-ending list of blog posts actually posted. I’ll research keywords, upload ​photos, write long-form articles, include appropriate links, and optimize content for search ​engines.

How Much Does Blog Content Writing Cost?

Pricing is set at $60 per post with a minimum of 10 posts. This limits the number of clients I ​serve to ensure each blog receives the proper quality care and attention. I want to make sure ​I learn your brand guidelines and expectations, and post stellar crafting content designed to ​increase your traffic and revenue.

Updating Old Blog Content

All website content should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure it remains current, ​accurate and engaging. Analytics and performance data can be used to make informed ​decisions about content updates, website improvements and SEO strategies.


Business owners should continuously strive to optimize their website’s performance and ​user experience based on the insights gained from analytics, but who has the time??

Why Update Old Blog Content?

It doesn’t take long for digital blog content to become old. Embedded links stop working, and ​keywords become stale. Updating previously posted content helps it remain seen by search ​engines and lucrative for you. Hire me to research new keywords, update links and re-write ​posts to keep your site current. The cost is $50 per post with a minimum of 10 posts.

Build that Website

All businesses should have a website. It’s how people ​find you and check your credibility. It is also the only ​online space that you own.


Social media is great for building a community, but it can ​be taken away without notice. Your account, even the ​business account, belong to the apps they reside on ​leaving you at their mercy.


A website, especially with a blog, is a space that can be ​customized to your message, your audience and your ​financial freedom.


Let me build a site perfect for housing your unique, ​creative business. Rates start at $5K.

My Story

the quiet, crafty kid

I learned that I was good at crafting and could make money from it at an early age. Custom polymer cl​ay figurines were a hit with my mom’s coworkers when I was in middle school. Complex dioramas scor​ed attention and high marks in high school. College brought about my first business and blog selli​ng personalized lip balm wedding favor​s.

The grownup career

Armed with two degrees in public administration, I worked a heart-filling career in grant writing that​ secured over $250 million for various causes throughout Arizona. Grant money was the building block​ for developing and sustaining programs that housed the unhoused, sheltered domestic violence​ victims, treated mental health and substance abuse issues, etc. ​

the millennial side hustle

Creating something was always happening after hours. In true millennial fashion, I held a job while ​concurrently working crafty side hustles to make ends meet. My blog on RV life made it possible to ​leave my day job. The following sewing blog purchased my home. Working on food and ​craft businesses owned by other people continues to support myself and my son.​

My Why

In late 2019 I found myself with a toddler, soon to be divorced, ​in a new state where I didn’t know a soul, and then the world ​quite literally shut down.

Work from food and craft bloggers kept food on my table.


While infinitely grateful for the steady computer gigs, it ​became apparent that my mental health needed to get out of ​our half-renovated house.


As my son started school, I accepted a part-time job as ​executive director for a downtown development organization ​that was just getting off the ground. The community ​welcomed both of us with open arms.


Today I create in several forms through supporting online ​craft businesses, building a local nonprofit, sewing for fun and, ​most importantly, raising a good human.
