Behind the Blog: Three Years Down

I'm pleased to introduce you to one online friend of mine, Brittany, who blogs at Three Years Down.  She was one of the first advertisers to sign up on Life Blessons, so I wanted to take some time to spotlight her story and what you can expect to find her writing about, especially now as she's just starting a new chapter in her life in Seattle!

(By the way, here is one of my favorite recent posts of hers, where she shares about how she was willing to be vulnerable in front of a room full of 200 people to confess one of her greatest fears and the grace God showed her there as they rallied around her in His love. Read it.)

Also, if you are interested in advertising on Life Blessons, I am currently accepting sponsors for December. You can find out details, rates as well as my blog statistics here. Plus if you book three months at once, you'll get a discount. Email me if you're interested!

Please tell us a little about yourself and why you started your blog.

My name is Brittany. I am a recently single lawyer, who God just uprooted from Nevada and placed in Seattle. {It's all a crazy blur right now!} I started my blog in law school as a way to procrastinate. These days it's a way to relax after working all day, and connect with my "online friends."

What kinds of things will people find you writing about on your blog? 
I write a lot about faith and life. You will find posts about my faith journey, singleness, and I predict, what it's like to take the bar exam a second time.&

What are your favorite posts to write about?
My favorite posts right now a brief recaps of the Influence Conference, which is a blogging/faith conference I attended in October. It was a great experience for both the strategy of blogging and the real life impact Jesus has.

What about blogging do you most enjoy?
I LOVE the relationships that blogging builds. I have "met" so many incredible and inspiring women through this little hobby of mine. Everyone has been super encouraging about my recent move and the crazy adventures I've been on in the last two months. 

Do you have any advice for anyone who is interested in starting a blog or is still new to blogging?
Read Carmen's series on Better Blogging! Seriously! I reference it all the time.

What are your goals for the future of your blog?
I am actually considering a new blog, but praying about it. We'll see where that takes me! Something I'd definitely like to work on is monetizing. I currently accept sponsors and do some affiliate links, but it isn't anything too fruitful. I would like to be more intentional about making money out of my blog, while still remaining true to my voice and purpose.
