Erin Hiemstra from Apartment 34 on business, branding and content marketing

Published: 08/21/2012

I met Erin Hiemstra when I took one of her classes on social media and branding.  Boy, was I impressed! Erin is a lifestyle blogger, or as she calls it, a content marketer.

I love her gumption; she went from working full time at a PR firm to a full time blogger. Erin has her finger on the pulse; she has great insight and thoughts of what is going on online with sponsors, finding balance while using social media and planning. (And you know how I love a planner!) Oh! I almost forgot to mention her blog, Apartment 34. It rocks!

    I listen to your interviews while I am working at my light table and always get so much great info.
    Your a great host and a great example of providing content that your readers need and want. You always ask the questions I wish I could if I had the chance to talk to all these cool people.
    Thanks so much!

    Thanks so much for sharing! This was a great interview. I had a few ‘ahas’!! I love it when that happens. I am a teacher blogger and new at all this so it was extremely helpful. Erin was great! I discovered your site a few weeks ago and love all the resources and inspiration. Thanks so much!!! April

    Really good interview!! Thank you both!
    Such a practical and real talk, we are just starting the real business here at South America, so this subject is particularly interesting and useful.

    Ladies thank you both for an engaging and insightful interview. I am a newbie to style blogging and I’m still learning, organising and defining as I go.
    I’ve been following Apt 34 for months now and look forward to Erin’s posts but it’s great to come across Monica’s site too!
