Welcome to #MediavineMonday! Today, we’re introducing you to Jesseca Hallows of 1sweetappetite!

Jesseca specializes in easy, everyday recipes that feature pantry staples and simple ingredients and says that, thanks to the full-time income she makes with Mediavine, she’ll never grow tired of “being my own boss and watching my site grow.” 

Check out a few ways Jesseca makes her food blogging adventure work full time:

❓: What does your daily blogging routine look like?

🅰️ : I blog full time, so my day starts bright and early. I always like to start the morning by checking my dashboard and monitoring my current analytics. I like to prioritize my readers and reply to comments and emails first thing.

From there I focus on new content creation, social media scheduling, and updating old posts to make them fresh and relevant.

My days are never boring and have a constant rotation of projects.

❓: How are you working to grow your business?

🅰️ : My big focus for 2023 is building my email list. Emails are such a great way to connect with my audience and allow me to grow my community. It helps get my new content on fresh eyes quicker and old content a little boost. It's also a great way to find out what people are loving the most, which gives me ideas on what to post in the future.

Grow has so many features that I realized I wasn't utilizing. Implementing the exclusive content feature on my top five posts, that have low CPM, has increased my subscribers by hundreds every week. It takes seconds to implement and also makes my email subscribers feel special by gaining access to recipes that regular viewers can't see.

I will admit I was nervous to make that content subscription based, and I do get a few complaints, but the rewards far outweigh the risk.  Most people love the idea of becoming a VIP.
