3 FREE Blog Resources [& a class you don’t want to miss]
Anyone who’s tried their hand at blogging knows that it is a serious investment of both time and heart.
It also comes with a pretty steep learning curve.
You sit down to write your first post thinking you’re going to wow the world with your incredible knowledge and expertise, only to discover that you must also acquaint yourself with basic marketing skills, social media prowess, SEO, and a working knowledge of website organization.
And this is only the short list.
The reality is, you can’t just be a good writer/designer/crafter/fill-in-the-blank-er to be a successful blogger. There’s just too many good blogs out there. Something about your brand needs to stick out – head and shoulders above the rest – and finding that something can feel a bit like an online goose chase.
Find someone who knows, and learn from them.
I’ve been blogging for six years and over that time have amassed a [small] working knowledge of blog execution the long – and often hard way – via trial and error. When I was introduced to Ruth Soukup and her book How To Blog For Profit Without Selling Your Soul

Like blogging, this class is a serious investment.
I was part of the inaugural EBA class and have seen growth in the professionality of my content and presentation as well as monetization and readership. I’m especially thankful for the life-time membership that allows me to work at my own pace (which has been hiccuped more than once due to a book and a baby) and have access to new course materials as they are made available to incoming classes.
However, EBA 2.0 is not right for everyone.
It will take some serious time to complete (think 12-week college level coursework). You are going to be challenged to change things – hard things – about the blog you know and love, and at $499 it’s not cheap.
The best things in life rarely are.
If you’re serious about moving your blog from a hobby to an income generating revenue source, I would highly recommend checking this class out.
The doors to Elite Blog Academy 2.0 open at 7AM EST on February 22, 2016, and close at 11:59PM EST on the 26th.
Students registering before 11:59PM February 23, 2016 are also eligible for an Early Bird Bonus entitled “The Daily Productivity Guide for Bloggers,” a workbook and screencast to help you work more efficiently and get more done in less time.
