What happens when your blog goes viral?

And what about when your blog is something as personal as your experiences of the menopause?

Jennifer Kennedy knows! Her blog is only 18 months old but she has to date, nearly 35,000 readers... and she balances that with a full time job as well.

Like so many of our guests Jennifer didn’t have a grand plan - she just got started, with the help of a friend’s 14 year old who set it up her blog for her.

In this interview we talk about

  • Blogging and writing in general
  • Turning your blog in to a book
  • Being asked to do comedy stand up
  • The menopause
  • The importance of social media if you want to be a writer
  • Holding down a full time job while pursuing your passion outside of work
  • Taking a career break

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
