Event Overview

You've seen it again: Another couple that quit their jobs, traveled the world and now lives on a healthy income from -- you guessed it -- blogging. It seems like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon -- food bloggers, fashion bloggers, mommy bloggers. Yet how is it that people are able to monetize their blogs and live on them full-time?

Making Money with your Blog is a 3.5 hour power-workshop to learn the tips and tricks of bringing in that buzzword: income. We'll look at some real-world examples of how the bloggers of today make their money, crunch numbers on the reality of blogging for cash and share resources that will help get you there.

The class is targeted towards intermediate-level bloggers who have an established blog presence and want to learn how to monetize it. If you're still looking to develop your skills as a blogger, consider my "Kickstart Your Blog" and "Blogging Bootcamp" workshops.

We will discuss:

-Common myths about blogging for cash

-12 ways that our most famous bloggers make money

-Creating a media kit and approaching partners

-Events to attend where you can meet companies that want to work with you

-Understanding and interpreting your analytics

-The truth about free stuff and sponsored content

-Why banner advertising won't pay the rent

Don't even try to make money with your blog without taking this class first!
