When I first started my blogging journey, I was overwhelmed and I didn’t have a clue. Naturally, I made mistakes. I haven’t repeated these mistakes with my second and third blogs. Simply because I now have experience.
Using this logic, why not tap into the vast knowledge each blogger has? You should absolutely treat other bloggers as trusted sources because they do this job consistently. They have lived through mistakes and genuinely want to help other people with the products they create.
I only wish I had tapped into some of these amazing resources, from fellow bloggers, earlier on in my blogging journey.
Quick note: Some of the links contained on this page are affiliate links and if you go through them to make a purchase, I will earn a commission. I only recommend products I use myself and think would be useful for you.
Throughout this blog post, I am going to talk about some of the fellow bloggers I have come across and why their products are a must on your blogging journey.
Izzy Matias
I first came across Izzy when I won a giveaway for her blogging course and can I just say, I am loving working through this at the moment.
#AFF – I am working through the ‘How to Make a Money-Making Blog’ course & I honestly feel so motivated. Wish I had done this when I first started my blogging journey!

You won’t be disappointed!
I’ve just won a second giveaway with her – how amazing!
You will not be disappointed by her products and it may just provide you with the concrete foundations you need to stay motivated on your blogging journey.
Blogging isn’t easy and at times you can feel like giving up. Outlining your purpose and your goals is essential, to keep you motivated. Izzy will help you do this.
Reinventing Neesha
Another absolute trusted resource is Neesha. After years of blogging, she definitely knows her stuff and I find her eBook and money-making emails so helpful.
#AFF – This amazing eBook from @NeeshaRees has literally changed my approach to affiliate marketing. Check it out if you’re looking to monetize your blog – https://t.co/ZEe0eebvk1@creatorzRT #MHBloggerRT #BBlogRT #cosybloggersclub #WorldBloggersRT #TheBlogNetwork

If you’re starting out on your journey and you are interested in using affiliate marketing to make money, buy and read this eBook. Buying this book will literally change the way you think about writing your blog posts. It is also encouraging me to be selective about the products I promote, in order to get the best return for the time I spend working on the content.
Lynn Mumbing Mejia
Lynn’s content is so inspirational. It’s like looking at those perfect interior design Pinterest photos. Her blogging templates are no different!
I will be honest and admit when I first started blogging, I thought I could do everything myself! It soon became apparent there was limited time for all the wonderful ideas swirling around in my head. Whilst I intend to eventually create my own Gumroad shop, creating social media templates is time-consuming and I just cannot fit it in. Therefore I have purchased templates for each one of my blogs. And they are so easy to use.
Here are some of my favourites from Lynn:
Nora | 50 Pinterest Templates Canva
We all want amazing Pins which will draw in readers to our blog. Pinterest is a difficult game anyway, but then creating your pins from scratch, adds even more stress. These beautiful templates will take away the added stress, leaving you to write, set aside some time for self-care, or whatever you love doing in your spare time.

Lucy Instagram highlight covers
I didn’t use Instagram highlight covers initially, but let’s be honest, the profiles with them look more professional, dont they?
Because I love seeing them, I have purchased highlight covers for each of my blogs, and I am so glad I did. This post is motivating me to finally add them to my social media accounts. They are so cute and I can’t wait to see what they look like.
More amazing Pinterest templates to ease the stress on you.
We all need a media kit. If you want to monetize your blog and impress brands, it’s a must. You can view mine here. The best resource I can find about why it is vital is from Rosie. Please take a read.
Should you want to create a media kit, look no further than this amazing template by Lynn.

Gemma Jayne
There is no denying, starting out on your blogging journey can cost money. At first, I was worried about the amount I spent and whether I would ever get this back. However, if you don’t start, you will never know. You just have to go for it.
After struggling with money myself, this Step by Step Guide to Budgeting eBook is a useful resource for anyone who wants to take control of their finances.
Given my own struggles with money, I set up my second blog about budgeting and making the most out of the money you earn.
Eleanor Jones
If you’re looking to improve your writing, both within your blog posts and social media copy, look no further.
Check out Eleanor’s blog and you will see she clearly knows what she is talking about. Check out her amazing, affordable eBook here.

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

It’s always great to learn from other creators, especially hearing about what’s worked well for them and what hasn’t. Even though our experiences can be different, it’s still great to have a heads up. Thanks for sharing!
Great post! Thanks for sharing it with us! I read blogs of some of these bloggers, but others I never heard about before. Now I will take a look at their blogs. I am sure they are super useful!
Great bloggers and love their content. There are some of them that I don’t know about and will check them out.
The blogging community is a great place to find help and support; it’s great that advice and guidance is always on offer. I’ve written a few post where I share what I’ve learned over the years as it’s so nice to give back, etc. Thanks for curating all this fantastic stuff!
The blogging community is the best! I had to write something about how wonderful it is.
I love reading blogging content form other bloggers, it’s taught me loads 🙂

Most of what I know is from other bloggers. And honest posts about mistakes they made. It helps to read content about others’ experiences.
I agree that there is so much to learn from fellow bloggers. Being able to tap into the experiences of people who’ve been there before me has been a highlight to this process. Some of the information read and just file away in my mind until I need it and other things I try to put into practice. There is just so much to learn and keep afloat, I really had no idea. Thank you for sharing your best bits from the bloggers you highlighted here. I am going to bookmark this post so I can refer to it later.

I am glad the post was helpful and I totally agree, there is so much to learn! I am still learning…
That was really interesting I have subscribed to Neesha’s mailing list. So happy to get to know the work of fellow bloggers this way. Thank you for this article.
You won’t be disappointed with the emails you receive! Glad you found the information helpful 🙂
