March South Florida Bloggers Recap

For many of us, blogging started as a passion project. The thing about following your passion is that at some point, we found that we can’t imagine doing anything else with our time. Which means: our passion will just have to make us money!

For this month’s meetup, we brought in Miami’s sweetest spots to talk about making your passion your business. Sharing their wisdom were Suzy Batlle of Azucar Ice Cream and Andy Rodriguez of The Salty Donut. Moderating the inspirational panel was Stacy Moya of Best Food Miami.

This power foodie team provided the South Florida Bloggers with so many tidbits of wisdom, but here are a few favorites:

• Research before trying a new venture. Look at the numbers to see if it makes sense.
• You can learn how to be good at anything.
• Be unique. Make your business special so it will standout from the rest.
• Social media is the best way to reach your customers.

And of course, we love learning, but let’s not forget how much we looove giveaways,especially when they include food. Well, this time around, we had a mix of both.

Azucar Ice Cream gave us all a taste of what makes their establishment so special. SquareHue helped us get spring-ready by providing all attendees with their beautiful nail colors in pink, blue, and green. The Salty Donut handed out free complimentary drink tokens. And Pipeline Workspaces in Coral Gables provided us with a beautiful space, which also houses The Blogger Union’s HQ!

And before we go, we’d love to remind you of a few happenings at The Blogger Union:
