Today we’d like to introduce you to Addison LaBonte.
Hi Addison, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
In 2016, I became gluten-free to solve a few health issues. After a couple years of learning how to bake and cook gluten-free recipes, I started my Instagram and website. From there, I consistently posted every single day, sharing new recipes and connecting with my audience. In 2020, I started treating my hobby like a business. Today, I own and operate 4 websites in the food niche. My websites reach over 1 million people every single month!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I had no idea what I was doing at the start. I had never built a website or coded anything. Through much trial and error and outsourcing where necessary, I have learned how to run my business. These bumps in the road have made me smarter, tougher, and more eager to learn.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business.
Organically Addison LLC is a portfolio of high-traffic food websites. These websites featured a combined 2000 recipes and reach over 1 million blog readers each month. These sites all specialize in easy, healthy, and delicious recipes. My first site, www.organicallyaddison.com, features over 750 gluten-free recipes. I am very proud of building this business from scratch and never allowing fear to hold me back. There have been many times when I could have easily given up, but I have persisted.
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
My biggest piece of advice is to dream BIG and to NEVER give up. You can truly accomplish anything if you want it badly enough.
