First, if you don’t have a blog, then I recommend starting off with my free blogging course How To Start A Blog FREE Course.

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.

If you already have a blog or if you are thinking about starting one, I recommend checking out these free resources. The below will help you to create a successful blog and are super helpful! I receive so many common questions, and the resources below will help you in so many different areas. There are affiliate links below, but everything is free.

  3. The Free Blogging Planner – The Blogging Planner is a free workbook that I created just for you! In this free workbook, you’ll receive printables for starting your blog, creating a blog post, a daily/weekly blog planner, goals, and more.

    Hi Michelle, I am trying to click on each of the links from your post today and each one is asking me to “sign up”. I already get your emails. Is there a way to access the links without signing up again? I love your posts but no need for either one of us to deal with more emails. Thanks for all of the information and inspiration! I am working on getting my blog up and running.

      It won’t lead to duplicates of the same emails – is that what you’re asking?

    The 120 blog post ideas really sounds like a must read. As my mind grew more and more how i could use the awesome power of content marketing to my side hustle millionaire potential, I noticed that we subliminally have money all around us and don’t even know it. How so? A smartphone plus the ability to take pictures and record video always gives a blogger or content creator something to discuss on their blog, even if it sounds like total nonsense. That content is indexed by Bing, Google & YaHoO!, thus improving long term and long-tail search engine optimization goals. Looking forward to getting close to $2 million in less than 4 years from now from content marketing and PPC. Side hustle millionaire DNN is on the rise! 🙂

    Hey Michelle! Thank you for putting all of these resources together. I’ve just started following you, as I’m a new blogger who is thinking about writing more posts on money-management, so your website is perfect for someone like me. I also graduated with a Bachelor’s debt-free in about three years, so I always love connecting with other people who accomplished something big with their finances.

    Some of the links don’t work especially the ones from Elite Blog Academy. I did it a few times and they say “it’s on its way” but nothing comes. Hmmm.

    Hey Michelle,

    Thanks for sharing this great post. I’ve just started my new blog. I’m in the blogging and lifestyle blog. I found your blog on Pinterest while searching for the best plugins to use on a new WordPress blog. I heard that using too many plugins could slow your website so I’m really careful to only use the most useful plugins. The free resources to grow a blog you’re sharing here will also help me a lot. I’m going to take a moment to check them out one by one. Thanks

    I’m really glad that WordPress is a versatile blog management system that not only can you use it for blog, but you can also use it as a directory for business listings, convert to job boards, and use as a real estate directory as a means of generating healthy streams of passive income.
