With blogging taking a serious hit from Google, you may be looking for a way to continue writing and being your own boss. Today we are talking all things freelancing with Sarah Gilliland. Sarah has her own website - On the Road with Sarah, but also freelances for various sites, including Wealth of Geeks and more. Today Sarah shares with us how to start freelancing, your online portfolio you didn't even know you have, and more.

Boy oh boy, the last few months have been a roller coaster. What is going on in the blogging world, and will we be able to continue in this business, plus what is happening with Influencing the Magic?

Networking is an important part of any business, including content creation. But that doesn't mean we like it. Today I am talking with Jessica Sanders, my Disney-BFF, and creator at The Happiest Blog On Earth... and dare I say, an AMAZING networker. I have seen Jessica network with top execs, brand reps, and even with Josh D'Amaro, the President of Disney Parks and Experiences.

Jessica is sharing her 3 step process for being successful in networking. And get this... sometimes you don't even have to talk to someone to network. We share how with a challenge at the end of this episode.
