My blog is my baby. I started it in 2012 and slowly became more and more serious about it. My dream is that this blog will become my job. What I mean is that right now my blog is a serious hobby, but I would like my traffic to increase enough that I can make some income. I’d like this blog to become my full-time job. I had no idea, though, how much work it takes to get to that point. But I am on my way.

Two things have put me on a path to making my dream a reality. The first was having a professional designer give my blog a makeover. The second was joining the Elite Blog Academy.
Have you ever wished someone could guide you through the process of a successful blog and show you step-by- step exactly how to grow your traffic and generate a sustainable income? Have you ever wondered how to improve your blog? That is exactly what Elite Blog Academy was designed to do.
A couple months ago, I decided to take a chance and enroll in the Elite Blog Academy course. I wasn’t sure if this program would really make any difference, but I was willing to take the chance. I am so glad I did! I began the program in January and immediately began to see my traffic increase. I was shocked. My traffic doubled quickly. In February my traffic had tripled since November. I’m not even half way through the course yet!
Which brings me to one of the biggest reasons I love this course. I can go at my own pace. I began the program in January, but by middle of February we were deep in moving to Indiana. I didn’t have time to work on the lessons, so I stopped. I took a break, and that was totally OK. I love that this program lets you set your own pace. It doesn’t become something else you have to mark off your to-do list. Instead, you can enjoy each lesson and really let everything you learn sink in.
If you are a blogger — whether you’re a complete newbie or you’ve been doing it for years — I recommend this program.
Through a powerful combination of effective videos, practical and insightful handouts, purposeful assignments, and interactive live webinars, Elite Blog Academy will empower, enable, and inspire you to take the specific steps necessary to refine your message, grow your audience, monetize your platform, and transform your blog into a successful and profitable business.
Over the course of 12 lessons, you will learn how to:
• Eliminate blog confusion by creating an organized framework that sets the stage for
everything you do.
• Discover the secret to harnessing Pinterest, the most powerful free marketing tool in
the world.
• Understand what is not working in your current monetization model and instead
develop concrete goals and a solid plan for achieving them.
• Dramatically increase your site’s passive income by mastering the four key strategies
of optimizing ad network revenue.
• Take advantage of the critical—but often ignored—connection between SEO and
ad revenue.
• Overcome your fear of private advertising and instead learn to approach brands
with confidence.
• Learn what it really takes to earn a six-figure income from your blog, then develop
your own product along with a successful marketing plan to sell it.
• Create a solid working business plan to take your blogging business to the next level.
Here is what the course includes:
• 12 Comprehensive Unit Videos
• 12 Detailed Unit Workbooks with Video Outlines
• 16 Powerful Handouts
• 30 Purposeful Assignments
• 4 Live Webinars
• Accountability & Community within a Private Forum
Now, here’s the thing. I understand not wanting to pay the money for this course. We are all on a budget, and what if it doesn’t work, right? Is it really worth the money?
Here’s what made me decide to go ahead and sign up for the course and pay the money — there’s a 100% money back guarantee. That means if you do all the lessons and put forth the work it takes and you still don’t see any results in both traffic and income, they will give you all your money back — no questions asked! That’s a pretty big promise, and it means you seriously have nothing to lose here.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, you must know that the enrollment for this course is very limited and it’s only open for one week! Enrollment will open April 14 and close at midnight on April 21. You can put your name on a waiting list right now, though. And if you do that, you automatically will receive a free mini e-book as a gift. The e-book is called 10 Steps to Take When Your Blog Post Goes Viral — I hope that ya’ll will need this e-book at some point in your blogging career!
When you sign up for the waiting list, you also are automatically registered for a free mini course that starts on April 7. These three super-practical and helpful videos — “The 3 Elements of the Perfect Pin,” “Work Harder, Not Smarter,” and “From Blog to Business” — are a perfect introduction to the content you’ll receive through the full EBA course.

Our internet is still so slow I haven’t been able to take full advantage of the classes I’ve joined. All the online, live video and audio stuff just doesn’t work out here. I have learned a lot though. One thing God seems to keep reinforcing is to stay unique. Try something new for a bit, if it works Great! if not, file it & try something else. It’s definitely been a fun adventure! Love your new design! (I kinda miss the flowers though, didn’t you have flowers…? LOL)
