Blogging Business: Rachel Parcell From Pink Peonies Featured on Forbes #Entrepreneurship
Rachel Parcell is the owner of Pink Peonies fashion blog and clothing brand designer. Recently, she was featured on Forbes in the article: How The 26-Year-Old Founder Of Pink Peonies Turned Her Blog Into A Million-Dollar Business.
This is a must-read article for bloggers and business women! Rachel states, “The biggest misconception about bloggers is that they’re materialistic and they have the easiest job in the world. Being a blogger is a 24/7 job that is extremely hard and takes so much more time and dedication than anyone realizes. A blogger—especially one in the early phases of starting a blog—has to wear so many hats: creative director, stylist, photographer, model, writer, editor, marketer, and the list goes on. The women who have turned a space on the Internet into a full-fledged business are brilliant, hard-working businesswomen who don’t get enough credit.”
According to Forbes, she continues to provide business advice saying, “Be creative, work hard, stay positive, never give up and be willing to take risks!”
