Kate Kordsmeier | Six-Figure Blog Academy

September 18, 2019 By Elaine

After making over $150,000 in only her third year of blogging, Kate Kordsmeier launched The Six-Figure Blog Academy to help other creative entrepreneurs make money doing what they love, while keeping their souls intact.

[This is my second interview with Kate Kordsmeier, founder of Root + Revel food and lifestyle blog. You can find Kate’s first interview here.]

For almost ten years prior to founding her blog, Kate Kordsmeier worked as a full-time freelance food and travel writer and recipe developer. Her content has been published in over 125 magazines, newspapers and websites, including USA Today, EatingWell, Cooking Light, Travel + Leisure, Shape, FITNESS, Women’s Health, The Washington Post, Clean Eating, Vegetarian Times, Wine Enthusiast, SELF and Real Simple.

Today, Root + Revel is a full time business, where Kate publishes articles and recipes that inform and encourage natural, mindful living, without sacrifice. Root + Revel provides a wealth of guidance and content covering everything from nourishing food to science-based self care; safe, non-toxic and effective green beauty; creating a healthy home environment; and holistic wellness. Kate is also a senior manager with Beautycounter, on a mission to get safer products in the hands of everyone.

A self-described “entrepreneur down to her bones,” Kate has expanded her business to help other online entrepreneurs benefit from her success through such offerings as one on one coaching and DIY resources, including how to start a food blog, how to grow an audience, how to turn blogging into a successful business, how to pitch an e-book, and the Six-Figure Blog Academy.

Kate lives in Atlanta with her husband, Matt, their son, Jackson, their two cats, Scout and Boo, and their puppy, Finch.
