Course Content Overview
Course Format
I’ll take you through each module step by step with simple and straightforward tips, and actionable advice.
Once each topic or subtopic has been covered, you’ll then see a list of tasks to check off for that specific module.
The one thing we aim to focus on in this course is ACTION! Not just theory.
Some modules lend themselves to tasks more than others! so, for instance the tools and resources Module is more of a toolkit, it does have one or two tasks still however, but not many.
All module tasks are then organized for easy access on the Master Trello Board for you to follow along. (Easy instructions are provided in the download on how to set up your own personal copy of the Master Trello Board)
You’ll get access to make your very own copy of the Master Trello Board to use to help you organize and plan your days and your tasks.
It’s totally up to you how and when you want to complete these modules and the associated tasks. Either do them as they arise… Or hop back and forth as you gain more knowledge.
We all work differently and I for one am not a linear learner!
You might want to start at the last module and work your way back!
That’s totally OK!
And, in fact I tend to start at the back of most books!
Let’s jump in!
Module One | Goal setting, planning and strategy
It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day of blogging! In the writing and promotion of your blog and business but what you need to do to be successful is to make sure you have aligned yourself with your true goals.
- What do you want to get out of this?
- Why are you doing this?
- What’s your ultimate goal in creating a successful blog?
This module will take you through a series of tasks designed to help you find your true why and help you establish a strategy for achieving the success that YOU want.
There’s a few things to remember as you go through this module.
Make sure you’re thinking holistically about your vision and your goals.
Make sure you’re looking at all areas of your life as you question yourself along the way.
Figure out how much time you have to devote to your blog and your business and the success you want to achieve from it.
Be realistic about what you can achieve and the timeline that you want to achieve it in! But… and here’s the clincher.
Also, be optimistic!
Module Two | Creating Great Content
You might have been thinking about launching your blog for a while now and maybe you have 2,3 or even a dozen blog post ideas at the ready, or even drafted. But. What next?
How do you sustain the momentum of content creation past those first few crazy days and weeks and get yourself into a routine?
How do you mitigate writer’s block?
And how do you ensure you are posting regularly and consistently?
In this module we’ll look at some of the fundamentals of creating great blog content your readers will love.
Module Three | Distribution & Amplification (D&A)
My absolute fave topic!
Distribution and amplification (or D&A) is a set of repeatable actions you take on every single piece of content that gets published to your blog. It’s the way you promote your blog posts and the way you get engagement and most importantly traffic.
D&A can easily be mapped out so that it becomes second nature to you and doesn’t require you to overthink or get flustered as to what’s next!
Let’s get to it!
Module 4 | SEO
Now that your blog is looking gorgeous and you have yourself all set up and ready, you want to make sure you’re driving traffic to your posts right!
There’s a couple of ways you can drive traffic to your blog.
You can count on social media and your followers and the platform algorithms to show your posts to those eyes that count. This is a pretty good strategy if you have a lot of highly engaged followers. Facebook pages, Instagram and Pinterest can work beautifully to drive traffic to your blog, depending on your niche and depending on how much work you put in here.
The second is through SEO. This is by far the most important way to get traffic to your blog for a few reasons. The first is that if you’re relying on Pinterest lets say for traffic, then you’re totally at the mercy of the pinterest algorithm and any changes that are made. One day you can be up.. The next … not so much…
So, let’s look into SEO. What it is exactly and how you can use it to drive a genuine and relevant audience to your content.
Module 5 | Tools & Resources
Not really any need for much of an explanation here! We’ll take you through ALL the tools you need to grow your blog… from planning and strategy to SEO and communications.
Module 6 | Maker, Creator & Entrepreneur Mindset
This is a big one for me. There is absolutely zero point in you pursuing success in any area of your life if you don’t have a solid plan around your own wellbeing and your own mindset. You can’t pour from an empty cup and I know only too well what it feels like to burnout.
In this module we’ll look at a few ways to keep yourself mentally on track.
How to dig deep within to build the strength and resilience that we all need to pursue our dreams and goals with passion and purpose!
I’m certainly no expert on all things mindset and wellbeing, but I come from a place of experience and I come from a place of knowing that we all do better when we actively look within to seek out what it is that’s most important to us, our lives and our loved ones.
This module goes hand in hand with Module one- particularly the part on goal setting.
Habits and routines are a huge part of my day and without taking these steps to take care of myself, I’d simply never reach my goals.
