We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

#1: Mason Woodruff, founder of Kinda Healthy Recipes:

We chatted with with Mason, founder of Kinda Healthy Recipes ($26K/month). In our interview, Mason says:

#2: Lexi Harrison, founder of Crowded Kitchen:

We chatted with with Lexi, founder of Crowded Kitchen ($17K/month). In our interview, Lexi says:

There’s SO much that goes into a successful blog. Improving SEO is essentially a never-ending process, but there’s incredible potential to make huge ad revenue over time.

Additionally:

We haven’t ever had content go crazy viral on social media and gained 10k followers overnight, but we have been incredibly consistent over the last several years and have grown a high-quality organic audience as a result.

Further:

Do your research early on. Especially when it comes to SEO and website best practices! I’ve had to essentially re-write almost every single post on the blog (of which there are hundreds) more than once over the last few years.

We chatted with with Mason, founder of Kinda Healthy Recipes ($26K/month). In our interview, Mason says:

Perfect is the enemy of good. If I’d waited for perfection to start, I’d still be waiting.

Additionally:

As a creator, your core audience is the ultimate asset in your business. As they say, earning trust takes forever but destroying it takes seconds. If you’re unsure about a partnership, don’t do it.
