How To Start A Blog

With the proper guidance starting a blog can be really easy, even for those who aren’t techy! If your short on time, or just want to avoid the overwhelm I’ve created a handy dandy short cut just for you and best of all its completely free!

This mini-course will walk you thru each of these steps instead of you reading the hundreds of blog posts required to set up your blog! I actually start at the beginning walking you thru how to choose your topic, name, and focus,  plus I set up a new blog with you, so you see the entire process from the beginning! The course also includes super helpful worksheets and templates to make life easy, all 100% FREE!

Learn What A  Blog’s Purpose Is, How it all works together

Understanding what a blog is, and how it all works together in the bigger picture is key to growing a profitable blog, it’s easy to get stuck in the never-ending content grind if you don’t understand these basic building blocks.

Why Blogs are important

Blogs are important for every business big and small. A Blog can be a business in its own right, but even huge brick & mortar stores like Joann’s, Home Depot and Walmart have blogs, understanding why is a huge piece of the money-making puzzle!

Discover Your Why

Now that you understand what a blog is, where it belongs in the big picture and why it’s important the next step is figuring out what you are going to blog about.

Finding Your Why is the 1st step in a process I like to call the Mindset Method. Once you know your why you can move on to the next step. Need help? No worries I’ve gotcha covered!

Some refer to this as finding your niche, however, ‘choosing your blog niche’ is typically taught as a one-step process, of picking a topic to talk about.

I teach this concept as a 3 step process.

1st discover you’re why.

What are you good at? What are you passionate about? What topic are you knowledgeable about?

Next, Learn the single most overlooked step in the process! Nailing Your Angle

First I want to start by saying ‘Find Your Niche’ is usually a misguided statement followed by off-kiltered advice. While the direct definition of niche is a specific topic, the misunderstanding of the point is rampant. To me, a niche is more than just a topic, its also an angle, and this is the most often missed step that leads to a lot of money and time wasted, bloggers that slave away on content and cant figure out why no one is buying their products or following their blog.

Celebrate You Have Just Set Up Your Blog!!!

Hooray! I’m so excited for you that I’m bursting with pride! Phew! That was hard work but soooo worth it!

If You see this long list of to-do’s and feel overwhelmed have no fear! I love my readers so I’ve created an insanely valuable freebie mini-course just for you! It walks you thru every single step above, plus it gives you super helpful worksheets for additional guidance, and it’s all free!

Why Do I Offer This AMAZING Mini-Course For FREE? What’s the Catch?

I totally get it, I’d be a little skeptical too, my dad’s favorite saying is ‘if it’s too go to be true, it probably is’. Well I’m here to tell you, this is not one of those cases, as a domestic violence survivor I understand the need for access to life-changing advice and guidance and I’ve seen so many offering this advice for thousands of dollars, well let me tell you, I did NOT have that kind of cash after my divorce.

Because of this, it took me years and having to start another business in the meantime to build my blog and learn all I needed to by scrimping and saving my cash to finally afford this knowledge, which in my opinion is bulls*it this is such an amazing vault of knowledge and you all deserve access to it for free!

I decided years ago that I would give this knowledge out for free, and yes I have to make some form of money to support my family so I offer a follow up course teaching you everything else you need to know about blogging, once you’ve set up your blog, and I also use affiliate marketing to fill out the income.

This crucial info, I felt, deserved to be free to the public so even though it took me MONTHS to create and was a huge effort I offer it for free so please don’t assume its low quality.

I just value your happiness more than my pocket book!

You will also notice my other paid courses are extremely affordable they go along the same lines of my thinking back to when I couldn’t afford gas to door dash for my rent so we went to food pantries and I rode my bike around town to pay the bills while working tandem uber eats and door dashing, as well as working as a professional photographer to make ends meet.

All while trying to grow my daycare business and starting my blog.

Those hard days are always top of mind for me and I want every one of you to have access to this life-changing info!
