Blogging Story: Aimee Brittain
Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 10:00AM
This blogging story comes to us from Aimee Brittain of The Coupon Diva.
My name is Aimee Brittain I am known as The Coupon Diva. I began blogging when it was suggested by a friend because there wasnt a African-American presence in the coupon/money-saving blogging industry. I decided to give it a try and 2 years later I was voted as The Atlanta Journal- Constitution's #3 pick for Favorite Local Blogger. I have began to get corporate sponsors and have met some other great African-American bloggers in my area and even met a great mentor.
I am inspired because after being laid off in January, I have begun to turn this into a full-time job. It's still in the process, but I could not be happier. I love helping people save money and stopping me in the store when they see my big pink binder full of savings. I love it when people email deals they have seen so I can post them and when companies want me to review items for them.
