I enjoy supporting others in thinking through systems for content creation, hiring an editorial team, monetizing content, audience growth, and business-lifestyle fit. My background is in journalism.

Content Marketing

For the last few years, I ran the content division at The Penny Hoarder. Previously, I built an agency that helped businesses grow online communities and reach their goals through blogging, social media and email marketing.

Audience Growth

Growing an audience is the fun part! From social to email to SEO to PR, I enjoy thinking through the most cost- and energy-efficient ways to bring more eyeballs to your site.

Monetizing Content

My true sweet spot is at the intersection of content and business -- figuring out how monetize content in a sustainable way.

Blog Management & Editorial Process

I built a blog management agency that ran blogs for small businesses, until my team was acquired by The Penny Hoarder and brought in-house. We focused on writing and editing content, vetting contributions from outside writers, managing an editorial calendar, optimizing for SEO and more. At The Penny Hoarder, I hired and trained our editorial team.
