Let me take you back. It was 2016. I was twelve years old. I didn’t know anything about writing articles, photography, or marketing... but I took the leap, and created my first blog on a whim.

I might not have known what I was doing, but I had a passion. I have loved writing for probably as long as I’ve been able to put pen to paper. English has always been my favorite subject in school, and I love anything creative. As well as a passion for writing, I also love learning new things, and am self-motivated. I set goals regularly and work towards them.

That blog was my first attempt at publishing my writing and at entrepreneurship. I would not say it was successful, but it was an attempt, and I kept trying.

Four blogs, countless hours of hard work, and two years later, The Productive Pixie was born. The Productive Pixie is a blog with articles about planning, productivity, and fashion. The work was just starting there though.

Through trial and error over the next couple of years, I learned on my own what it takes to run a successful blog, what it takes to get from thinking of a great idea to articulating and publishing it online, and what it takes to keep showing up week after week when articles are not performing as you want them to. In other words, I learned the discipline of what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

I learned how to do social media marketing, email marketing, search engine optimization, photography, monetization, and of course writing articles that people will read.

Today, The Productive Pixie has over 180 published articles, over a million views, and several million views on social media. My most popular article has close to 20,000 shares, and I’m a Google AdSense partner as well as a Certified Ezoic Publisher. My blog is now a steady source of passive income.

It all began with a girl in high school who wanted to write and share her ideas with the world.

During high school, I found time to work on my blog and publish consistently among my other passions of dance, piano, singing, and spending time with my family because I loved the idea of being an entrepreneur.

While I’m not sure where life will take me, I know that I want to continue writing, whether that is being a freelance journalist, working for a newspaper, or starting my own magazine. I want to share my ideas to inspire other people to achieve their potential one article, one word, and one letter at a time.
