I want to help set you up for the same success, whether you want your blog to be your business, advertise your services, or you just want to share your life with the world.
This Basics course will cover 5 topics:

  • Platforms available to set up your blog
  • Blog design
  • The pages you should set up for your site
  • Social media
  • Creating amazing content

When you're ready, grab a pen and paper or open a new text document on your computer, and let's get started!
Lay the Foundation to Start a Blog
Your task for this course will involve laying the foundation for your fancy new blog so that when you feel ready to start it, you will have a clear direction of where to go.
Each video will have a small sub-task for you to complete, and at the end this will be the outline you’ll use when you’re ready to take the leap into the blogosphere. Instead of going in blindly, every video's task will give you a much clearer path for what you are trying to accomplish with your blog as well as giving you the tools and information to get you there.
