Reader,
We're getting real and talking about numbers today.
I've been a blogger since 2018 - which is practically a century in internet years.
And it's been a WEIRD FEW YEARS in the world of blogging and TpT and online business.
So many people are closing down their businesses - going back to work after taking their businesses full-time.
Or just completely pivoting altogether.
I've always known that if I don't give up, and if I don't quit, I'll win.
Last year tested me.
But, small spoiler here - this has been my best year yet, financially.
EVEN in the midst of paying off almost $100,000 in consumer debt (more about that another time, in a different email).
Since becoming a blogger, I've taken several (if not dozens) of courses about blogging.
I take at least one learning nugget away from every single thing that I do, but some courses are just better than others.
I even have a love-hate relationship with courses that you've likely heard me talk about if you listen to the Social Media Magic podcast.
But this one is different. NINA is different.
The Profitable Part-Time Blogger (aff) is, hands down, THE best blogging course I've ever taken.
(and if you want a list of all the other ones I've taken, DM me - I'll give you the list)
This is because it's not just some course.
Most course creators don't think about how they can actually help their students get the most out of what they're learning.
But Nina does - and this is because she coaches; she doesn't just teach.
In case you're not familiar with Nina Clapperton, I did an interview with her a while back about how social media and SEO work together.
(and today that's even MORE true, by the way!! we need it all)
The Profitable Part-Time Blogger (aff) is a collection of everything Nina Clapperton knows - with the goal of helping you make a full-time income working part-time hours.
But I don't expect you to just take my word for it.
So let's talk numbers for a minute:
- On average, I'm making $2,000 more per month since starting.
This includes freelancing revenue, affiliate marketing revenue, course sales, growing my email list through micro niche communities, and just overall learning from her. I observe what she does and if it fits with me, I implement it. And I'm not special for this!! If you're coachable, and if you can learn (I know you can do that!), then you can blow me out of the water with your results.
I'm also hella disorganized. So I'd be even further along if it wasn't for that. Despite myself, these past two months have been my best revenue-wise.
- She's the one who pushed me to get onto YouTube.
A year later, my channel is monetized (~$100 monthly on passive income from that), I've sold higher ticket courses DIRECTLY from those videos - so there's another $2,000ish using what I've learned from Nina.
- And now, I'm getting YouTube sponsors!! 😭
I juuust secured my first YouTube video sponsorship! I did NOT think I was ready (I still don't lol) but she pushed me. And thank God for that. I have 30 more pitches this month and if even 3 of them take, that's another $3-$10k.
- Learning a few tweaks from her has helped me 2x and 3x some of my Facebook Groups.
And therefore, my email list. If you're not looking for holistic programs right now, her Group Growth Accelerator (aff) (a course on building Facebook Groups from scratch) and her Public Group Playbook (aff) are both great.
You'll learn how to leverage social search and Facebook SEO to drive traffic to your sites, channels, and products. I already considered myself a Facebook Group expert before looking at both and I still learned a ton. So even if you've been running and growing groups for years, check them out.
You might still struggle with calling yourself a blogger - or a TPT seller - or an entrepreneur, business owner, etc.
Honestly??
What you call yourself doesn't matter as much as what you actually DO.
Though Nina will tell you she's lazy, I say she's a master at execution.
She just gets things done and I really admire that about her as a fellow do-er all-the-timer with no chill. 😝
But most people aren't like that, I get it.
So she shows you how to get MORE out of whatever you do, even if you only have a few hours a week.
I can't recommend this course enough.
And the best part is, she now offers a monthly payment plan if the upfront amount is too much.
Today is the LAST DAY of her 30th birthday promo - and then it won't be open until, well, who knows when. She doesn't even know.
(and she doesn't do that false scarcity or urgency crap - she really just doesn't know)
Do not wait on this.
Your success is urgent.
Others are depending on you to get the skills, confidence, and visibility you need so they can hear and act on what you have to share with this world.
I really believe that, and I'm experiencing the fruits of it now - at least in part because of what I've learned from Nina.
And if you want to check out all of her other offers that are 30% off?
You should took a look - because she's got custom ChatGPTs galore, along with loads of other mini-courses that might be more accessible for you - if you can't swing PPTB right now.
And if you're stilll not convinced about all of this, I have another wicked offer for you.
I don't usually talk about this here, but I build websites for people (remember I've been building websites since 2017!!).
I'm going to be launching this as a separate, paid service for this brand soon.
But the first 5 people who buy The Profitable Part-Time Blogger (aff) through my affiliate link??
I'll design a website for them for free.
That will save you SO MUCH TIME if that's been holding you back.
(it'll also save you like $2k-$5k depending on who you'd buy a website build from!!).
