Are you looking for a how to start a blog free course? If you’ve been wanting to start a blog, then today is your day. I recently created an email course for those who are interested in starting a blog, but haven’t made the leap yet.

Best of all, this course is free!

You can sign up by entering your information in the form below.

I started my blog, Making Sense of Cents, in August of 2011 and have built a great business. It allowed me and my husband to leave the day jobs we disliked to pursue something that we loved. Now, we travel full-time, make a great living (last month we made over $100,000 blogging), have a flexible schedule, have more time to spend with loved ones, and we will be able to retire early.

I’ve learned a lot over the years about blogging, and I am continually learning new things in order to improve my blog. And that’s where this blogging course comes in.

I’m sure many of you are interested in starting a blog but aren’t sure where to start. There’s a lot that goes into blogging, but I make it easy with this course.

With this free email course, I will show you exactly how to create a blog, from the technical side (it’s easy – trust me!) all the way to earning your first income and attracting followers. Each day for seven days, you will receive an email in your inbox that will help you create a successful and profitable blog, all from the very beginning.

Here’s a quick outline of what you will learn in this free 7-day email course:

  • Day 1: Reasons you should start a blog.
  • Day 2: How to determine what to blog about.
  • Day 3: How to create your blog. In this lesson, you will learn how to start a blog on WordPress. My tutorial makes it very easy to start a blog.
  • Day 4: How to make money blogging.
  • Day 5: My tips for passive income from blogging.
  • Day 6: How to grow your traffic and followers.
  • Day 7: Miscellaneous blogging tips that will help you be successful.

    Yay!!! I am very excited for this! Is this going to into how to design your blog as well? Any tips on that would be great! I love reading your posts!

      Thanks! And, no, it won’t go into design. I’m not a professional web designer so I’d prefer to leave that to the experts 🙂

        That makes sense! Do you have any recommendations on how I can learn to design a website? Or someone that could either teach me or design it themselves?

          I don’t know of anyone, but I’m sure there are courses out there. I’ll keep my eyes open for you and see what I can find 🙂

                  Hello Michelle – you said to Amanda that you didn’t know anyone that could help her re webdesign but then you recommend Grayson – I’m confused!

                  1. Michelle Schroeder-Gardner

                    Grayson can help with small things, but he doesn’t do whole designs. Does that make more sense?

    1. Michelle Schroeder-Gardner

      Hhmmm. For some reason it says the emails have failed. It may be because your email service has blocked the email service company I use. You may need to contact Cox and ask them to approved my email address (michelle@makingsenseofcents.com).

      Or you can try whitelisting my email. After you do that, please send me an email and I can check on this again 🙂

      So sorry!

    I just signed up for your free email course, can’t wait! I am researching starting a blog. Is Bluehost and WordPress the same thing? Do you have to have both or what is the difference?

    Reply
    1. Michelle Schroeder-Gardner

      You have to have both. Bluehost is what makes your website “live” and WordPress is where you write your blog posts.

    Hello! I just discovered your blog through mintnotion and just so eager and excited to start! I run a spiritual blog and while I do love sharing and have gone nearly 2 years not monetizing, I feel like there’s something I can do differently. Monetizing doesn’t have to be spammy and aggressive. It took me today to realize that. And it doesn’t mean bad. Thank you so much for this. <3

My passion is the Word of God and healing people .If I can do this and help myself as well .. this would be awesome!!

    Hi, I tried doing a blog about wood carving with affiliate marketing a couple years ago with no luck. I have been following your blog for awhile and I’m going to give it another try. It’s like you are encouraging me to. Should I use the same name as before or change it?

      I use WordPress but they are not my blog host (WordPress is a platform, not a host). Is that what you are asking?

    I had signed up through your blog just to back out within a month. I got confused between Bluehost and WordPress, and didn’t know how to go about with it even after going through the courses. Am thinking to start fresh and sign up again, isn’t that silly? Also, I was just wondering if you or anyone you know might be looking to hire a virtual assistant? So tired of my dull and repetitive 9-5 job, plus the ~1 hour travel time going to and leaving work. Anyway, I enjoy your blog. Thank you so much!

    1. Michelle Schroeder-Gardner

      I don’t think it’s silly at all! You should definitely try again 🙂
