Welcome

Welcome to the Blogging Guide newsletter!

Blogging Guide is a newsletter which helps writers navigate the digital publishing landscape and shows them how to monetize their content.

Blogging Guide’s newsletter contains industry insights and analysis on digital publishing platforms and blogging, from me, Casey Botticello.

Many of you probably know me from Medium (I write articles covering writing, passive income, entrepreneurship, financial independence, technology, and productivity), from my two Facebook Groups, Medium Writing and Substack Writers, or from my website BloggingGuide.com.

I am the editor of several top Medium publications, including:

• Medium Blogging Guide

• Escaping The 9 to 5

• Digital Marketing Lab

• Substack Writing

• Active Publications

I am also the admin of the largest Facebook Group for Medium writers, Medium Writing, and the admin of Substack Writers, the first Facebook Group dedicated to helping Substack writers achieve success.

Blogging Guide Content

Blogging Guide is unique in that it focuses specifically on making money by writing online. This includes everything from pre-monetized blogging platforms such as Medium, Vocal.Media, or News Break to self hosted blogging on WordPress or Ghost.

In addition to breaking down, reviewing, and sharing tips to succeed on these platforms, I will also be including content aimed at helping writers with social media marketing, freelance writing topics, and graphic design.

5. Canva Templates

Custom image templates are fantastic at driving organic traffic and ranking in Google, but are usually to time-intensive for most writers.

With its intuitive drag and drop interface, you can easily change the text, drag and drop your own images, and customize these templates.
