Save time and money with a blog that accomplishes the main objective: getting more people finding out about you and what you have to offer.

Blogs can be your online headquarters for everything about you.
Perfect for beginners who haven't created one, also designed for intermediates who want to do it better. As a bonus, students who use the course can have their blog featured on mine.
You'll quickly learn everything from choosing a domain name to posting and sharing with social media. Blog to your own schedule as a stress-free way to assist your career.
And the best part is that blogs can be made for free. You can also spend on a custom domain name, premium template or hosting, but it's not a requirement. Any author on any budget can follow this program right away, and we’ll use free examples with Wordpress (dot) com and Blogger. The lessons will also apply to Wordpress (dot) org templates or blogs hosted elsewhere.
At the end of this course you’ll have a great blog on Wordpress, Blogger  or another site. You’ll have a powerful means for online success at your fingertips.
