About
Hi, I’m Rachel! I’m an accomplished entrepreneur and online publisher. I take great pride in being able to share my vast knowledge and expertise with others. As a company director, Quickbooks Advisor, SEO expert, and online publisher, I strive to make the web a better place for businesses everywhere. When I’m not busy working on my own projects, you can find me helping others to unlock their full digital potential.
Out of all my jobs, I love blogging the most. There’s always something to write about, especially with all the baking I do! Check out my other blog HERE.
Cosmic Touch Blog is about money, business, blogging and general interest that caters for most people’s interests. Everything I write about is what I’ve experienced or learnt about.
In April 2020, I heard about blogs but never really gave them much attention until I watched a Ben Fogle programme on TV. It was about a family that lived in a remote place in New Zealand, and the way they brought in money was through a blog.
The mum said she earnt about $14,000 a year by writing blog posts just a few hours a week. I was astounded; how on earth does she earn from a blog?!! You can check out her blog, ‘Lulastic’, HERE.
Obviously, I had to look into it, and that’s when I started blogging, and it was around the time when ‘lockdown’ started, so it was the perfect moment as I had nothing else to do and couldn’t do my day job!!
And so, this is where it all started. I didn’t have a clue about blogging and how to go about it, so I did a lot of research, and I mean a lot! I flitted from one website to another until my brain was frazzled, but I couldn’t stop once I got started. Since then, I have started several blogs and my most successful one Rachel’s Recipe Pantry, for my delicious recipes.
I also learnt along the way that having a blog is good for business, so if you own your own business and haven’t a blog on your website, I suggest you start one now.
The most important thing to do before starting a blog
Before you start blogging or setting up a website for your business, learning SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the most important thing. I can’t stress this enough. I didn’t realise this until a year later. If I’d known about this from the very start, I would be earning a heck of a lot more than I do now!
Don’t start looking for books to see which is best or floating around the internet for courses. Why? Because there are so many. I’ve been there and done that and wasted lots of money. The only SEO course I genuinely recommend is Mike Pearson’s Stupid Simple SEO. He explains things step-by-step and helps you get organised with your SEO. I wish I had known about him from the start!
Start your own blog
Finally, if you’re ready to start your journey as a blogger, you’re in the right place. To create a blog, go to How To Start A Blog The Right Way. This is a free mini-course. It will save you a lot of time-wasting, wondering how to go about it. Plus, look at the blog resource page, which will help you choose the right tools for your blog.
