I love reading anything that will encourage and drive me to continue to build my blog for these two purposes:
For the Kingdom.
For the benefit of making my blog into a full time business.
Having a blog is no doubt for the Kingdom first and this is why when looking for guidance in blogging and building it into a business should be from Christian based blogs that give exceptional advice of how to do this.
As I have stated in other posts of mine, I love me some Melyssa Griffin, Abby Lawson, and a few others that hands out awesome tips and webinars for new bloggers and writers. They truly help new bloggers how to build as a entrepreneur. But for me, finding the guidance through a biblical standpoint has always given me that extra spark and unction to do what God has called me to do.
Just like I have mentioned several times in my eBook , before turning your blog into a business it is vital to the blog that you are building it into what God is calling you to do. As a Christian Blogger, building your blog into a ministry and business must first be a leading from the Lord.
If creating your blog into a business is what you are confident the Lord is allowing you to do then I believe these 5 bloggers will help you along the way as a Christian based Blogger.
Here are 5 blog posts for the Christian Entrepreneur:
Cultivate Grace- How to Make Time for Blogging
Nicole actually created this specific post after asking Blogging Facebook groups, what their biggest struggle as a blogger was? After getting the majority of answers Nicole then dug deep and began a research to cleverly distribute this post.

Humble and Whole: Honoring God with Your Business
The two sisters Kendra and Kleniece never seize to amaze me. I find them to work in perfect accordance as they build their ministry and online business of assisting Christian Bloggers. They help bloggers to increase page views and Social Media following. I have read many great testaments to the capabilities these two ladies have to a quick result. Their humbleness perfectly fits their blogs name.
Do a New Thing: Is it ok to Monetize from My Christian Blog?
I have mentioned Christa’s blog a few times on Married by His Grace. Her work is pure brilliance to me. Christa’s entrepreneurial postings never forget to glorify God behind every step of building a blog.
A Little Light: Writing the About Me Page for the Christian Women in Social Media.
Somehow whenever I am looking for that special spark and motivation into building my blog, I always end up on the A Little Light blog. The transparency shared as a Christian Blogger always makes me feel relatable and retainable to reach the goals that are given to build as a blogger and entrepreneur.
As a Blogger it is important to be willing to learn continuously about blogging and where the Lord is directing you. Continue to seek encouragement and inspiration from other Christian based Bloggers that can lead you into knowledge through their own experiences.

Wow, this is so great. About a year and a half ago The Lord Jesus told me to start recording a weekly message to the church and that I was to post it online. At first, I was so nervous about appearing in video for the whole world to see. But I ignored my nervousness, moved forward with The Lord’s instructions and now I’m video blogging without a problem. I also post on topics not necessarily Christian-based like: how-to grow sweet potato vines in water–my photography hobby–photos of sunsets–me filming downtown Toronto, stuff like that. I also have a business (I make a variety of items) which The Lord told me He wanted me to start however, even with 2 websites then I’ve not had even one sale to date. This can be extremely discouraging at times and even to the point where the thought of giving up blogging for a while crossed my mind all together, however seeing as this would not be a good move then I chose to continue on with posting on my blog. I am so happy I came across your post back on Pinterest. I’ll be checking out the information you posted about the facebook groups that help Christian bloggers and other resources you provided as well. I would love to connect with other Christian bloggers as I don’t have any Christian blogger friends at the moment. Thank you for your help Carmen. 🙂 -Nancy
