Ever feel overwhelmed by blogging?
You’re not alone.
There have been so many times in my own blogging journey when I’ve felt daunted by what I was learning and doing. I struggled to overcome challenges like increasing my traffic and income in ways that matched my brand and values.
I’ve spent a lot of money, time, and pulled hair strands trying to figure it out.
Blogging has been the greatest thing that has happened to me (apart from travel and my family). In fact, it’s so powerful it’s given us the opportunity to travel as a family full-time.
I can earn money blogging wherever I want; it’s helped me grow personally and professionally in ways I couldn’t have even dreamed; I’ve made lifelong friends because of it; and I have a wonderful community of readers united by a love of travel and living blissful lives.
My office in the Philippines last week
Blogging is one of the most amazing inventions as it gives people an opportunity to create a business around something they love and are passionate about and can help people. It’s a level playing field and anyone can do it.
But, blogging isn’t always easy, and the fast-changing nature of the blogosphere and the internet means that I, and you, can’t ever stop learning how to be a better blogger.
There’s much to learn and often times you don’t know where to find the right information to help. I’ve been doing this for long enough to know what skills are necessary for blogging and where your focus is best directed.
My blog thrives when I’m growing in my skills, connecting with others who understand the work I’m doing and pushing myself to try new things and improve my weak areas.
One of the best ways I prioritise my growth as a travel blogger is by learning from other experienced bloggers who’ve mastered a particular aspect of blogging.
I’ve said many times how much I invest into my business and improving myself.
It can get pretty pricey to buy all the new books or courses that cover the topics I’m looking for and I often spend at least a hundred dollars each month!
Which is why I am over the moon about the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit and why I am sharing it with you today as the ultimate blogging resource.
It’s a digital package crammed full of brilliant tools to help you grow your blog, work smarter and make more money. (But for way less than you’d normally spend!)
My premium training How to move from blog to business is also included as a product within the toolkit. Don’t worry if you’ve already done this training (yay you!) you get a tonne more resources (see below) + my special bonus for more value.
Here’s what others have said about it:
Just wanted to drop you a line and say THANK YOU for your webinar “Moving from Blog to Business. I’ve just finished listening and yes, now I think I too deserve a glass of bubbles. Great info, super inspirational. You guys rock!
The Genius Blogger’s Toolkit
I’ve become an avid fan and supporter of the Ultimate Bundle Toolkits and shared the Startup Bundle a few months ago.
Many of you know I support B-School each year as an excellent course for helping you start and grow your online business. I have fallen so in love with the Ultimate Bundles and the plethora of information and tips the courses provides at an incredible low price, that I’ve decided to share and support this instead from now on.
I know many of you may be upset as you wanted to join B-School and be part of my mentoring group. Don’t fear. If you take advantage of the Genius Blogging Toolkit, I have a special mentoring bonus for you (see down below).
The team at Ultimate Bundles have put together the best resources on ALL the topics that matter to bloggers like:
Mastering social media
Monetization
Creating and selling products
Time management and productivity
Nurturing an email list
and much more
Here’s what you get:
24 eBooks
33 eCourses & audio files
5 printable packs
In total, the toolkit includes over $3,500 worth of blogging tips, strategies, tutorials and amazingly practical information and ideas.
You also get free bonus offers worth $1350+ with 17 tools and services to help you run your blog. Plus there will be special offers to help you get the most out of your bundle on Wednesday and Thursday of the sale.
You don’t want to miss it!
But the truly amazing part? They’re selling it for a crazy 98% off of regular price!
I know, it sounds too good to be true, but I promise it’s not. Ultimate Bundles has been around a long time and creating these packages is really their thing (they’ve sold over 180,000 of them on all sorts of topics), so you can trust this is the real deal.
Even better, they’re all about making sure you LOVE this toolkit. There’s a full 30-day happiness guarantee, so there’s really no risk in trying it out.
The most important detail, though, is that this toolkit is available for seven days only. After Tuesday night, November 1st (EST), the sale ends and you’d have to buy all of these products individually.
I’d hate for you to miss out, so click the button to learn more or buy the bundle.
My Bonus Offer
I have a private mentoring Facebook group. I usually only open it for my B-school bonus, but I’m opening it up to anyone who purchases the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit via my link.
You know I’m a partner of the bundle, which means I receive a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you join via my link. My way of saying thanks, and to make the bundle even more valuable to you, is to offer you inclusion into my blogging Facebook group.
Let me tell you it rocks. My crew in there are simply awesome. They’re supportive, encouraging and love to share solid tips and advice. Word on the street is it’s the best private Facebook group going around. I agree!
So it’s a place for you to share, ask questions, get the help you need from me and the others in the group. Craig and myself regularly answer your questions, provide feedback and share useful tips and resources.
I’m super pumped about this toolkit and helping you achieve your blogging success through my mentoring group.
Training I loved in the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit
As mentioned with the Start Up Bundle, there is a huge amount of resources you get access to for life. It can be a bit overwhelming knowing where to start.
The Ultimate Bundle Crew have created a Genius Blogging Essentials eCourse to go with the toolkit with short video lessons to help you evaluate and prioritise so you can work through the bundle systematically and use the products that are going to make the biggest difference to your blog first.
You may only have one or two areas of your blogging that you wish to grow and improve on. That’s what I love about this bundle, it covers everything, you only have to do one or two of the courses to get your money’s worth. Many of the courses are worth more than the price of the bundle.
Many of the courses are worth more than the price of the bundle.
That way, in the future, if you get stuck in another aspect of your blogging business, you won’t have to purchase another course, you can just tap right back into the Genius Blogging Toolkit.
Here are the courses I’ve done so far targeting the areas I most want growth in.
InstaValuable: Grow Your Instagram Basic Course by Myquillyn Smith ($97.00)
I’m not a beginner user for Instagram, yet I can’t get the platform to work for us so I’m obviously missing a few things. The week before I knew what was in this pack, I purchased an Instagram course for $137. It was great and I learned some useful tips and strategy.
Although, one of their main strategies to grow your following was by following/unfollowing people in mass numbers. It’s totally not my style, so I was disappointed to find that was the only strategy they had for growing your account.
Instavaluable, on the other hand, is cheaper and has that authentic integrity of building an Instagram account with purpose and the intention to give something back.
It encouraged me to start up my own Instagram account again so I can share a different side of my life – the side that doesn’t fit into my travel Instagram account. The course helped me to get clear on what I wanted that to look like.
Pinaffiliate Masterclass by Adeline Ganley ($97.00)
Pinterest is our biggest and favourite platform, but we still don’t know everything about it. We had enormous growth which we didn’t know what to do with and so have barely tapped into its potential.
I’m only a couple of modules into this course and have already applied a few little tweaks mostly with setting up my boards and descriptions.
I like how each video has a clear actionable task, which I do straight away. We’re putting a lot of effort into affiliate marketing so I’m super keen to learn more about how I can make it work through the powerful Pinterest platform.
Strategies Worth Sharing eBook & Workbook by Brittany Ann ($30.00)
Sadly, I had purchased this eBook only a couple of weeks before I received the Genius blogging toolkit. Bummer! It’s a valuable addition to the bundle.
I was interested to see how Brittany was actually able to grow her Facebook account and continue to maintain a sense of community. Facebook has tanked for us recently and not even worth my time.
We had such a vibrant community, which has been lost with Facebook’s algorithm change and emphasis on now trying to force people to pay to be seen.
This eBook offers many good tips and a firm foundation for community building. I knew most of them, but for beginners, it’s superb training. I did pick up a few little things I can use to tweak and it was a great refresher for me to get back to what works. I’m applying some of the strategies and seeing improvements already.
There is an amazing tip here for growing your community which works really well for me – definitely worth the inclusion in the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit to learn it!
17 Strategies I Used to Go from 17K to 350K+ Page views in 9 Months by Lena Gott ($25.00)
This is a killer resource with 17 strategies you can easily apply to increase your page views and grow your platform. These strategies are based on an actual case study from a blogger who implemented each one and tracked results. It’s easy to read and follow and anyone can apply the strategies.
As an experienced blogger, I can tell you these strategies work and are what we do ourselves. Start with this ebook when you purchase the toolkit, so you can get it right from the beginning . Don’t worry if you are an advanced blogger, you will still pick up a few things.
I’m extra motivated now to refine my strategies and apply a few new things. The Google+ tip was excellent and I have noticed results from this myself, without even consciously applying the strategy. I’m now making it a standard procedure for us.
Brands Are Looking For YOU! by Karen Lee ($14.99)
This is a short ebook you can easily read in a day, but gives you a very clear outline of how to approach working with brands. If this is a monetization model for you, then you definitely want to read this book.
I know most of what is written in here and I can tell you I had to learn it all myself. That meant a lot of hours researching and many many mistakes.
Karen has her own blog and blogger’s agency so has a thorough understanding of how to work with brands. Working with brands can be a fantastic way to make money, but it has to be done right or you can screw yourself over from the start.In the ebook, she clearly outlines
In the ebook, Karen clearly outlines:
what brands are looking for
how to set your brand and design up right
how to create a media kit
a brief guideline for sponsored post fees.
