It’s true, friends. I keep getting choked up about this e-course that I’m launching a week from tomorrow {so soon!}. It’s my first and it’s a big darn deal to me. I am putting my ALL into it because I’m so passionate about the content. Simply reflecting on my journey is enough to make me a little teary-eyed. But then to see people around the world sign up for it and to have some of my favorite bloggers ever {EVER!!!} agree to contribute their insights…well, it’s enough to make a girl weep with gratitude.
The e-course, called How To Build a Blog You Truly Love, is jam-packed with the guidance and support I wish I’d had several years ago, after I’d grown disillusioned with my own blog. I was ready for it to grow bigger and better. I longed to feel more rewarded for my efforts. I needed a vision that could inspire and influence me for years to come. And I yearned to connect with like-minded, kindred spirits – both fellow bloggers and loyal readers. But how???
I signed up for countless “how-to” seminars and bought e-books on everything from search engine optimization to affiliate marketing. Good tips, but I still felt unfulfilled. When I bravely signed up to have a big-name blogging consultant/writer spend 30 minutes dissecting my site, she said she wouldn’t change a thing other than a couple of tweaks to my header. I was actually disappointed that she liked my blog because it had begun to feel like a meaningless chore to me…and I wanted her to fix that! That’s when I realized I need to stop looking outside for the answers and look within.
I did a lot of self-reflection to determine what I really, truly wanted from my blog. I leaned on my marketing and PR background to create what I now call a blogging blueprint. I began reaching out – not to the biggest, most successful bloggers, but to the ones who inspired and resonated with me most. And it all worked like magic. I began to love my blog again – I soon loved writing it, loved promoting it, loved thinking about it.
That’s why I created this class – so I can help others on similar journeys. I’m so looking forward to guiding participants through an innovative process of self-reflection and in-depth learning, all designed to help them achieve sweet success and deep fulfillment for years to come. And I’m so excited for them to connect with a private community of bloggers-in-bloom PLUS gain exclusive access to my interviews with more than a dozen amazing women who are rocking the blogosphere and livin’ the dream. The first interviews are completed and – holy moly, they totally rock!
On top of all that, I have weekly contributors waiting in the wings, ready to knock your socks off with fun and introspective exercises. The latest awesome-blossoms to join this incredible crew are Michelle Ward {widely known as the When I Grow Up Coach} and fabulous photographer Noemi Hedrick. Woot! I also have to give an extra-loud SHOUT OUT to Michele Bergh of Be Inspired Design. She’s been working tirelessly behind the scenes to make everything go smoothly and will be an invaluable resource for everyone during the course. I am one lucky girl. Class starts June 5th, so there’s still time to sign up; but if you do, consider yourself warned – you just might make me cry.
