Are you curious about starting your own blog as a means of creating an at-home income stream for yourself?
Whether you’re a full-time worker looking for a bit of extra money to play with, a stay-at-home parent who is hoping to contribute financially without having to leave their kids in care, or anywhere in between – a blog could be your golden ticket to achieving this!
But getting started can be overwhelming. There is a lot of guesswork. It can be hard to find your feet in this ever-changing industry.
Let me help you!
I began blogging for fun in 2006. A few years later, I noticed a few bloggers that I loved were actually making money from their blogs! I was curious, and decided that one day I would love to have a lifestyle blog that earnt me money.
Fast forward to 2016, and my lifestyle blog Her Happy Heart was born.
When I began Her Happy Heart, I had recently become a stay-at-home mum. I felt I finally had the time to dedicate to blogging, and I really wanted to explore some ways of making money from home while pumping out inspiring, authentic content that I believed in, and that would benefit others.
I loved writing – that was the easy part for me. I had a vague idea that a Facebook page and an Instagram account for my blog would help me promote it. And I knew that if I pinned pictures from my blog post onto Pinterest, I would start getting my posts in front of people.
So I started doing those things, and do you know what I got?
Crickets!
I can’t tell you how frustrating it felt to pump out quality content, only for nobody to actually see it.
So I began seeking answers to my low traffic woes.
And I learnt a WHOLE LOT. It was probably the biggest learning curve of my whole life.
It took a lot of trial and error. A lot of really good online courses, and a lot of really useless ones. A lot of advice from fellow bloggers who were a few steps ahead of me (you will learn this about the blogging community – everybody wants to help each other succeed). A lot of banging my head against the wall, and a lot of thinking “I will never work it out.”
But one day, I did.
Today I earn a regular income with my blog. Not a full-time income equivalent yet, but I am confident in the steps I need to take to get myself there.
And I am confident that I can help you get there too!
My blogging journey has given me a real heart for beginner bloggers. I absolutely love meeting up with new bloggers to show them the ropes, as well as established bloggers who need help with their promotion strategies. I am also available to audit existing blogs, and even Pinterest accounts.

“I got my blog audited from Klara and it was EYE-OPENING! Klara broke down and explained where I was going wrong (and right) with my blog and how I could best be serving my audience. She gave me actionable steps to take that helped me boost my traffic, improve SEO and even comply legally (a biggy). I’m so happy I got the audit done as I felt so aimless whereas now I know what to improve on and how to grow.” – Renee Shaw of This Anxious Mum
