Life and Work with Cierra Wilson

Today we’d like to introduce you to Cierra Wilson.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I created this blog after successfully running 2 other blogs, one lifestyle/running, and the other baking. It was getting rather difficult creating content for both blogs, so I made the decision to merge both blogs together, thus creating my blog, might run for cupcakes. It covers my love of running, baking, AZ adventures, traveling adventures, marathons I’ve participated in, charities I support and everything in between. Some people think that after running a blog for a few years, that you eventually grow tired of it or run out of content, but for me, I fall more and more in love with it every time I post. Occasionally, I drift away due to life but I’m always grateful when I return and my loyal followers are still there.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I wish that I could say it’s been a smooth road, but with most things that you start from the ground up, it’s going to have some issues. When I first started blogging, I had views and visitors everyday and it was truly wonderful but when it started to dwindle, I started doubting myself and questioning, if I was doing something wrong, did my writing stink, am I just wasting my time? There was a lot that was going through my mind. I had a tough time figuring out ways to really get my blog out there. Social media, such as, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc., has made a lot of difference. Plus, it gets a lot more exposure and easier to share on, even if you don’t have a post published that day. My advice for women of all ages is to not give up when the going gets tough. With time and perseverance, you will find the results you are looking for. Even if you have your doubts, do not give up if it’s something you truly want to do.

Please tell us about Might Run For Cupcakes.
My blog, might run for cupcakes, is a lifestyle blog that covers, lifestyle, baking, cooking, traveling, running, health and wellness, pets, trends, reviews on books I’ve read, movies I’ve seen, music I listen to. I cover pretty much everything in life besides the heavy stuff such as politics and religion. I’m very honest and open and I truly enjoy what I do. I’m proud of my brand because it has a little something for everyone. Who doesn’t love running and cupcakes?!?

Are there any apps, books, podcasts or other resources that you’ve benefited from using?
My absolute favorite apps, are Instagram and Facebook Pages, they allow me to share instantly whether I’m working on a new recipe or on an exciting adventure that I want to share with my followers. As far as books, all of the cookbooks that I own (way too many to name) have helped me create recipes that are not as common, they are a good jumping off point. Pinterest is a huge help when trying to come up with some fun and fresh content.
