This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Auburn chapter.

 

  • MelyssaGriffin.com

Formerly called The Nectar Collective, Melyssa and her team offer great advice about entrepreneurship, self-development, and blogging, as well as social media tips to improve your following. The great thing about Melyssa’s blog is that she shares details about her earnings from the blog and what she did to earn it including some expenses. Most blogs don’t offer this kind of transparency.

Here are my top three articles from her blog;

  1. Pinfinite Growth.
  2.  A Step-by-Step Plan to grow your email list when you’re starting from zero.
  3. How to design blog post graphics that convert (with before + after samples).

  • Cupcakes and Cashmere

This is by far one of my favorite lifestyle blogs out there. Emily Schuman has a great sense of style and blogs about food, décor, DIYs, beauty, fashion and motherhood. Emily was one of the first bloggers to partner with a retail brand, Coach. Together they designed a limited edition pastel pink handbag, which sold out fast. I admire Emily because of her ability to mix high and low and making it look seamless.
