We were lucky to catch up with Louida Martin recently and have shared our conversation below.
Louida, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?
To be successful, you got to enjoy what you do, and have a passion for it. If you’re not passionate about it, you’re going to give up and fail.
Also, you got to be consistent. Keep at it with your goal. Yes, you may fail, but pick yourself up, learn from it, and keep trying. There have been plenty of times that I have failed at blogging, but since I was passionate about it, and wanted to make it work for me, I stayed consistent with it.
Thanks to having a passion with blogging and staying consistent is the reason why I’m successful today, and blogging have been my full-time job since 2015. (I started blogging in 2012 as a hobby at first)
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I’m Louida Martin, and I’m a blogger/affiliate marketer on www.productreviewmom.com.
I created Product Review Mom because I wanted to share about products I use and places I’ve traveled, give recommendations, etc.
What got me into this industry is due to joining market research firms, sharing my opinions about products not yet on the market, while getting paid for my feedback. And since I couldn’t share about these product developments, I wanted to share about the products I buy in stores instead.
So, I created a blog about products I’m currently using and recommend. At first it was just a hobby, but I learned ways to earn money with my blog by joining brand’s affiliate programs, and banner ads.
With my blog posts ranking well on search engines, brands started reaching out to me directly to partner together.
Thanks to my blog, I have been featured in magazines, top leading websites, attend red carpet events, VIP Events, media events, complimentary stays in hotel, and more!
Due to my authority in the Product Review Niche, my blog have afforded me a lifestyle to work for myself.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
What makes me stand out from the sea of other bloggers is because people can relate to me, and feel comfortable. They know there is a real person behind my blog since they see my picture all over the website.
People know they can reach out to me if they have any questions or concerns. Plus, with the helpful articles, people share it because they trust what I have to say. And being featured in publications helped as well with made me trustworthy.
Does your business have multiple or supplementary revenue streams (like a ATM machine at a barbershop, etc)?
As a blogger, I earn my income in different ways like affiliate marketing, ads, brand partnerships, guest post placements, and also social media ads.
