Today we’d like to introduce you to Kasey Knose.
Kasey, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I had worked in the mortgage industry for over 13 years, but after my oldest son turned one and a half, and a long discussion with my husband, Bill, I decided to become a stay at home mom. This would allow me time to spend with my son and it would give me an opportunity to figure out what it was that I was passionate about. I had always loved cooking.
In fact, I had so many cookbooks and recipes that I had collected over the years. I knew that I wanted to do something with that. I had been following a few different food bloggers at the time and I decided that I would start Disholicious. A place where I could share my adventures in cooking different cuisines from all over the world and a little bit of my food experiences during my travels.
I’ve been blogging on Disholicious for about three years now. In that time, I have become more involved with the wine industry, thanks to my friend, Meghan Vergara. She is a local Sommelier that has led me to join the Women’s Wine Alliance of San Diego, which has also allowed me to have opportunities like helping out a local vineyard with their grape harvest and attending this year SommCon. These opportunities have started to influence my writing and I’m excited on where they’ll take me.
Has it been a smooth road?
It definitely has not been a smooth road. Blogging takes a lot of commitment and time in order to gain a following. You honestly need to have a business plan for your blog. Especially if you want it to become more than just a hobby. The biggest struggles to blogging is figuring out who you want your audience to be and gaining a following from that audience. It’s about getting your name out there and being consistent with it. Without a plan, your blog won’t get off the ground. I think all bloggers struggle with these things.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
My business is my blog, Disholicious. It’s a blog where I share recipes, wine knowledge, and experiences that usually involve travel. The thing I’m most proud of as a blogger is the ability to reach out to my readers and connect through common interests. I enjoy providing good recipes they may want to make time and again, or teaching them something new they didn’t already know.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
I definitely think the San Diego area is a wonderful place for bloggers. We have a beautiful city, great weather, lots of outdoor activities to choose from, and great cuisine. San Diego is a very popular city for travelers. What more could you need or want as a blogger?
