The Girl Behind BZ

 

My name is Allison Boyer and I’ve been blogging since the late 1990s, back when LiveJournal was all the rage and making money online as a writer was just a dream. I began blogging professionally in 2006 and haven’t looked back since.

Today, I’m the features editor for BlogWorld Expo’s blog and the owner of After Graduation, a career nonsense blog for college students and young adults. I also run a very successful anonymous blog under a pen name and work with freelance writing clients to ghostwrite blog posts and other online content. I earn a full-time income through the work to do online and am on track to earn between $60,000 and $70,000 in 2011 – all through blogging.

I don’t  have massive traffic. I don’t have a massive social media following. I’m not an expert or ninja or guru. But bank accounts don’t lie – I am successful online, and so I started Blog Zombies to share my opinions, techniques, and tips to help you be successful too. I think some of the a-listers out there give great advice, but you can take a different path and also be successful. I’m living proof of that.

Yes, in that picture to the right, I’m totally holding a copy of World War Z. I thought it was only appropriate.

You can find me on Twitter @allison_boyer and if you’re looking for info about the awesome chickas who did the design work for Blog Zombies, follow my sister @jess_boyer.
