Join The Elite Blog Academy On Black Friday

Disclaimer: The following post contains affiliate links. All opinions about this course are my own. Most of us will be celebrating New Year’s Day on Jan. 1st, 2015. I’ll be right there with you, but I also have another reason to celebrate. Jan. 1st, 2015 is my 1 year Blogging Anniversary at Mommy Maleta! I am still learning and growing each and everyday I blog, but I am amazed at the progress that I have made in 2014. There have been times I have wished someone could hold my hand and guide me through the process of starting a blog and show me step-by-step, exactly how to grow my traffic and create a sustainable income. While no one physically showed up on my door step, I have had some virtual hand holding take place by signing up for a course called the Elite Blog Academy. I had already been following mega successful blogger Ruth Soukup over at Living Well Spending Less. So when she launched her course I was ready to jump on board. I think I am a a fairly creative person, but organizing a step by step plan to grow my blog is a challenge for me. I honestly love it when someone just gives me assignments that give me some structure! And hooray, that is what the EBA does through a powerful combination of effective videos, practical and insightful handouts, purposeful assignments and interactive live webinars. I have not completed the 12 lesson course yet, because it takes time to thoughtfully work through the assignments, especially while raising my 3 children, teaching tennis on the weekends and keeping up with my own editorial schedule for my blog. But I have already seen growth through implementing her FOCUS writing strategy, her Pinterest-Must-Do list, engaging with other bloggers in our EBA community & so much more. In a nutshell, EBA will empower, enable, and inspire you to take the specific steps necessary to refine your message, grow your audience, monetize your platform, and transform your blog into a successful and profitable business. The course includes:

• 12 Comprehensive Unit Videos
• 12 Detailed Unite Workbooks With Video Outlines
• 16 Powerful Handouts
• 30 Purposeful Assignments
• 4 Live Webinars
• Accountability & Community Within A Private Community Forum

(note: the photo above just gives you a visual of what’s included in the materials that you’ll receive to download) Over the course of 12 lessons, you will learn how to:

• Eliminate blog confusion by creating an organized framework that sets the stage for everything you do.

• Discover the secret to harnessing Pinterest, the most powerful free marketing tool in the world.

• Understand what is not working in your current monetization model and instead develop concrete goals and a solid plan for achieving them.

• Dramatically increase your site’s passive income by mastering the four key strategies of optimizing ad network revenue.

• Take advantage of the critical—but often ignored—connection between SEO and ad revenue.

• Overcome your fear of private advertising and instead learn to approach brands with confidence.

• Learn what it really takes to earn a six-figure income from your blog, then develop your own product along with a successful marketing plan to sell it.

• Create a solid working business plan to take your blogging business to the next level.

Elite Blog Academy is designed to be self-paced, but it shouldn’t be completed in less than 12 weeks because it takes time to thoughtfully work through the assignments. This class demands real work, but if you are willing to do the work, it also comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. I’ll be honest, this guarantee was important to me. Even though I was ready to jump on board, I have a limited budget. The course is $299 which is a large ticket item for me. But I sat at my kitchen table thinking I really don’t have anything to lose. Either the course delivers, which means my blog will begin to grow and I’ll begin to see some profit, which is what I’ve already been working towards. Or, worst case scenario, it won’t grow and I can ask for a refund no questions asked. Another point to consider is that this is the last time the course will be offered at this price. It will increase to $399 after this session. Enrollment for Elite Blog Academy, which opens at 12:01 am on Black Friday is also extremely limited, and will only be open for two weeks. That’s 12:01 am Friday, Nov. 28th until 11:59 pm on Friday, Dec. 5th. So seriously, don’t wait. Click on the button below to sign up. (if you click prior to the Black Friday start, you can sign up to receive info as soon as the cart opens) Once you make your purchase, you will have access to the entire course as soon as the short login process is completed. Make 2015 the year your blog reaches new heights! I would love to hear from you once you begin the course. One of the best parts of blogging is interacting with fellow bloggers. It would be great to hear about some of your blogging goals for 2015 and how this course helped make them happen!
