I am also puzzled as to how this is a career. Is she getting paid for doing these posts? Maybe she has enough money to live on and is just looking for a hobby. I really like Lisa and I wish her well but her life now seems kind of superficial to me. All she seems to do is travel around and visit friends that she made while hosting on QVC. She seems happy but I think I would be really bored with that after awhile.
NAT: Many people do this as a means of earning money, big money but after viewing Lisa's "vlog" and following it over a few days, it is not as professional as others that are making the bucks.
Some are so well done and have so many hits that they have had major magazines, newspapers, retailers contact them and some have had lines of dishes, barware, furniture, draperies, etc, named for them or their blogs. But, these are done well and they are kept up daily. Others have their own line of soft home furnishings which they sell on the internet. Some have had paint brands named for them but they are not just taking pictures of the originals with a phone camera.
One cannot travel constantly and keep a professional blog going without having someone who does quality work putting it all together for them while they are providing the lede material for same. These telephone photographs of a few places here and there where she is obviously trying to make some professional contact look very amateurish.
It looks as if Lisa needs professional camera equipment, a professional tech person, marketing person to provide much-needed advice on how to put it all together. The way she is doing this is just a mish-mash of her activities of daily living. Perhaps this interests some, but it will not interest many and not for long.
I, too, think I have an interesting life but it only interests me. Not many are interested in my children, my grandchildren, my social friends. Otherwise, I would be walking among the famous people. I am not. If Lisa has to seek out people to photograph by traveling to them and taking iphone selfies, it shows there is not a professional relationship there and it will not become so with a cell phone.
She does a great job of her Christmas decor, she should learn from the tedium involved in that, that a well-done website requires even more tedium to be professional. Lisa, if you still read here, you are seeing the truth, that you need to step it up and leave the Q behind, get with the program, and use the money you made while here to hire professionals who know how to get your career going.
