Sue Bride is passionate about sharing resources for blogging and social media.
This is especially true as it also gives her the ability to work from home while she cares for her disabled son. The digital world also gives her the perfect platform for spreading Fragile X Syndrome awareness.
How did you get into blogging? What made you choose this path?
To spread information and awareness about Fragile X Syndrome, a genetic disability. There was very little online about it at that time. Blogging was new when I started so I also started sueblimely.com to teach others.
What do you know now that you wish you knew when you first started your business?
That earning online isn’t as easy as I thought!
To research well before joining anything that requires regular payments.
To develop trustworthy contacts who will tell you the cons, as well as the pros, about anything you are considering joining up with.
What is your most proud blog related achievement? How did it affect you and/or your business?
Being among the top 10 Australian bloggers. At that stage I wasn’t blogging for business reasons, but it boosted my confidence, and increased my site visitors
Please share a blog post that you want to highlight? Why did you choose this one?
I would like to highlight The Whys & Hows of Business Success with Instagram as it is accompanied by my first free-ebook and an infographic that I created myself. It took the most research, and most time, of any other post.
How do you manage time to run your business efficiently?
By restricting the amount of programs, social media platforms, and sites, I’m involved with. The sheen has worn off all those “shiny objects”. I’m not one for routine and schedules but I do work on important tasks first.
What aspects of your business do you want to learn more about?
Selling web images. I really enjoy working with Photoshop.
When you aren’t working, what do you like to do for fun?
I enjoy visiting somewhere new: different suburbs and towns, beaches, mountains, cafes, shopping areas… I’d love to do more international traveling.

What else do you want us to know about you?
I live in a beach-side town close to Melbourne, Australia. I’m mother to 3 wonderful, adult, children. As I’m a carer for my youngest son who has Fragile X Syndrome (including intellectual disability and autism), I work part-time from home.

Hi Elise,
It’s indeed a great joy to read a bit more about our friend Sue. Though we have been friends since few years, I never knew many of the things she shared here. I appreciate your effort via PAC to give a shout out about our fellow writers.
Keep sharing.
I believe I dropped my part too. Please check

Hello Sue!
It’s been great getting to know you from our introduction through PAC. I loved your video, it reminded me of my visit to Australia last christmas though sadly we were not near you and it sure is a beautiful place. I remember you telling me that you can see the sea from your office … lucky lady! ☺
Your Instagram ebook was wonderful, so glad to see it highlighted again and you have some really valuable posts on your blog too, all researched and written beautifully on social media tips and tools.
Lovely to see your Spotlight

Unfortunately you were a long way from we live but it would have been great to meet you. Thanks for your kind comments about my Instagram e-book.
very interesting
Thank you
Great to know more about you, Sue. I also wrote in my interview about wishing I’d known how difficult it was to make money online when I started. It is always advertised as being so very easy but it is only now, some 10 years after starting, that I am seeing a beneficial income.
Enjoy the journey!
Unfortunately, many who claim that it is easy do not tell the whole story.
It’s not in their interests to tell the full story when trying to lure others to join them. Although I never believed wild claims of quickly made passive riches, I thought I’d at least make something. I didn’t realize how I’d be taking advantage of others. That is, until a couple of things I was involved with disappeared along with the money.
I can relate to the 10 years Mandy, although I wasn’t trying to make money online for the first 4 or 5 years. It was just a hobby to start with. I now wish I’d done more good marketing training before I took that step.
I really like her points on what she had wished to know before she started blogging. Those are some crude realizations that many bloggers found out during their blogging journey.
I agree completely. I totally appreciate the open attitude when sharing.
