Another surprise that greeted Lisa was that her personal blog was bought by an Internet publishing company. Lisa was then hired full time by the company to use her past entertainment experience and sharp media mind to develop and be the managing editor of Filmazing.com.

She finally had broken through the market and landed a full-time gig, so she created LisaJohnsonMandell.com, a blog and forum for those inspired by her story.
