How to Niche Blog to Six Figures: Cassidy Tuttle

December 10, 2022  by Ewell Smith

Cassidy Tuttle - Blogging Coach


Cassidy Tuttle was surprised to say the least. After completing my first book, I reached out to Cassidy, the founder of the Succulents & Sunshine blog, to let her know that seeing her blog inspired the name It’s Bloggable! for my very first book. I then asked her if she would share her journey with you on the ABSOLUTELY MINDSETpodcast.


3 quick questions for you:


  • Do you need guidance marketing your blog?
  • Have you ever thought of writing your own book? Are you seeing a trend? Bloggers with books... 
  • Ever doubt yourself? 


Cassidy addresses these issues. She shares her marketing mix. She's also transparent about overcoming doubts and the mindset journey of ups and downs...and what keeps her going...


Absolutely on Brand Marketing Tips


Visit Succulents & Sunshine Blog. Today she's averaging 350,000 to 500,000 page views a month that's generating $200,000 + a year in revenue.


SEO Marketing; That's how she's primarily grown her organic traffic since the beginning. One thing that's important to note in our conversation is how and why she's pivoted from a photography blog to a succulents blog. She made a very strategic move.


Facebook Group and Pinterst; Surprisingly you may sense what I did. There's some hesitancy regarding the use of Facebook despite recently growing to over 83, 000 followers quickly. 


 2021 Marketing: Cassidy is shifting her strategy to more social from SEO. That includes the use of Pinterest with over 83,000 followers at the moment. Get this...7.5 million Pinterest views in March 2021. She also announces her latest tech launch on this podcast.

Cassidy's Book


Much like Marla Meridith in the 2nd episode of the Absolutely Mindset podcast, Cassidy's blog got the attention of the Idiot's Guides.


Cassidy now has her very own series with the Succulents (Idiot's Guide). Along with her blog, this book further galvanizes her role as the go-to-expert on all things succulents.
